I love to sew. I also love a great many other things, so much so that I'm in danger of having too many interests (is that possible?). But sewing is definitely one of my favorite things to do.

A princess, random outfit, and a witch. |
Ever since high school I've tried to assemble my own costumes or revamp old clothes. My sewing skills were limited to hand sewing, and I didn't have the patience (or time) to do anything big. I usually combined thrift store finds with old dance costumes, whatever would work.

In college, I received my first sewing machine, and was forever lost to the world of fabrics. I started out making costumes, ranging form simple to sort of elaborate. Since they were usually one time wear only, I was never terribly worried about finishes or durability.

Now I'm starting to venture into the world of wearable every day clothing. I have come to the conclusion that ready to wear clothes disagree with my bust, so I've got to make my own. So I've decided to start this blog as a way to document my attempts to become a better seamstress. I want to become better at maing quality clothes, and turning my curvy stitches into straight seams. Hope others enjoy my progress!
