life lived creatively
This is the place to look if you love sewing or maybe need some tips to get started. There will be free patterns here as well! I’ve been sewing for about 22 years and have made everything from simple bags to my wedding dress. Sewing is my greatest passion!

I feel like I left out some things in my fall favorites post. Really important things like – fabric, yarn, thread, etc.! There’s always new fabrics to look at when the seasons change & if you don’t collect them, they will be gone. That’s the best reason I know to collect them all – tee […] Read more…
