Hello out there! I will be doing a couple of giveaways over the next few months. Like my Facebook page "Sew I'm a Newbie" and you may have to answer a trivia question based on my blog or my facebook page. I'll be posting on the go because my son is on his school's basketball team and they travel everywhere but make sure you stay tuned. Thanks for visiting!
This is completely not sewing related but I wanted to share my New Year's day start to a great year! Listening to live music with great company. Can't ask for better than that. Happy New Year!
Hey Happy New Year! I promise to sew more this year and make you all my guinea pigs for sewing tutorials! 2016 is going to be special for me and it's already started! I'm starting the year in a great mood and I hope it shows with my sewing. Do what makes you happy, be with who makes you happy and sew your butts off!
Hi! Well I've been trying to keep some promises and post more projects. I have not, by any means, gotten the hang of doing tutorials. I'm great with pictures though! Keep reading for my pattern review of Simplicity 2648 View C.

Did it look like the photo on the pattern envelope once you were done: Yes.

Hi again!
I know pants may be easy for some of you but I hate them and I don't want to hate them! So....I'm getting ready to make these wonderful pants in View F. Wish me luck! I'm going to try to finish tonight. That will be another feat for me.
Hi!
I know it's been a while but I'm back in the sewing saddle. I don't know about any of you but I don't like sewing for people. When I don't have a deadline, I finish projects a lot faster. My latest project; that I finally decided to wear; was a leopard dress costume with tail attached, ears and paws. Don't mind my face, I didn't feel like going to a halloween party and once I got there, I realized why. Back to my costume, I used Simplicity 2072, view A, which was pretty easy. I bought the fabric from www.fabricmartfabrics.com . I lost some weight since last halloween 2014 so the costume was a little big around my bust and waist area but I still pulled it off! Go me! Next year I'm going to be more original and probably start my costume around the summer. Maybe a mermaid or one of my favorite childhood cartoon characters. I don't know, give me some ideas! I'm working on some pants now. Wish me luck.
