I'm so sorry I forgot to tell you a story on sewing, well here is my story about my latest quilt, because of my bad back and latest surgery this quilt is still not finished even after 4 years in the making.
ReplyDeleteI'm still trying to hand stitch it all and sew in the bias after. but it is painstakingly long and demands that I stay seated for long periods of time which my back cannot stand. so here is the question.
Will I ever finish it?
Thanks

What a lovely giveaway! I do enjoy your creative blog & I've just become a fan of your etsy & facebook. Have a great week...
ReplyDeleteWhen I was about 9 years old I got a sewing machine for Christmas. The first thing I made was doll clothes from scraps of a dancing costume I wore. It turned out beautiful.

oh my heck. I need to win this! Let's see... lately I've been really frustrated with sewing. I started a new job as a professional seamstress and some days I'm just not feeling it. Maybe this will make me feel better? ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome giveaway!!

ReplyDeleteAwesome giveaway - thank you!!
ReplyDeleteOH! I saw the knitting giveaway first and was sad I wasn't a knitter lol. Now I see this! I'd say what inspires me to sew is anything old that used to have a completely different life. I love making things new again. :)

ReplyDeleteI'm liking your FB page, too!
ReplyDeleteO.K., it took a little thought but here's a sewing story. I have a niece, who as a toddler, was extremely rough on her stuffed animals. Something was always popping a seam and ooozing stuffing. The first few times, her dad made a big thing out of sitting it near the door to go to "Auntie's house" for repairs. She soon got so she would silently simply plop something down next to the door for Dad's next trip. (He's usually here multiple times in a week.) Fourteen years later, she now attaches a note to whatever needs repair (clothing hems, seams, etc.) and still simply drops it by the door. (Funny thing is, I KNOW she can now do these repairs herself but it does keep us in touch!)
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful, generous, and AWESOME giveaway maureen! count me in! i'll be back with some extra entries too :)
ReplyDeletelet see though...a sewing story for you. well, it's less of a story and more of something i am looking forward to. i will be going home to michigan in the coming days and will be getting to spend some time with my granny who is the person who taught me to sew in the first place...can't wait to spend some quality time stitching away with her!

ReplyDeleteWhat a great prize. Let's see a sewing story. The Year I met my husband I decided to make a costume to wear to the college Halloween bash. I went to the fabric store picked out a costume pattern and soem gorgeous black material with zodiac,sun and moon designs and went to work. It was my first sewing project in 5 years and it took me all day (and I mean all day, 8AM to 8PM) to finish. I added brass bells and a wand and it's been my costume ever since which is going on 17 years now. Over the years I've added little touches like masks and hair accessories but the base of the costume has remained the same.

ReplyDeleteI wanted to say it is nice of you to have these little giveaways. A fabric story, I just found a crewel embroidered fabric recently that I wanted to make into Elizabethan gown. Though I have been looking for 16th and 17th century historical patterns for some time and came across it at the price I wanted $10 a yard. The impressive part it took 5 years to find the fabric at that price, now I can finally start making the gown. butterfly 164_2002@yahoo.com

ReplyDeleteI have only recently discovered my love for sewing...I had thought that sewing was so hard and that there was no way that I would be able to do it.

ReplyDeleteHi Maureen! Here is a sewing story... I was actually inspired by YOU to start crafting! You made beautiful things and it inspired me to want to make beautiful things, too. Now I can't get enough of handmade things-and now I love to sew and never thought I would. I'm now on of "those" ladies, who could spend hours looking at fabrics or perusing a craft store! Love hanging out at the sewing shop when I have time :) Keep up the great creativity, and great giveaway!

ReplyDeleteMy sewing story would have to be the time I was concentrating too hard while using my machine (my grandmother's 1957 Singer). I bent my head closer and closer to get a better view, and was soundly thumped on the forehead by the metal arm on my machine! Oops! :-)

I've never done a costume "replica" before, so I'm really excited (and nervous). =)
