I'm a Californian who's been transplanted a lot of places, but am currently in South Carolina. Due to circumstances beyond my control, I find myself unemployed and looking for a way to use what I love and am good at doing to move forward. I make little girls dresses and baby blankets and have a shop on Etsy. Or, at least, I sew when I'm not in the kitchen cooking up something delicious and fattening. (tonight it was Chocolate Banana Cake with Buttercream filling and Hershey's Special Dark ganache)

Here, I plan to post what I am doing and how I am doing it. I would also be happy to answer any questions if you are struggling with your own project. I plan to include the bumps because this is where one learns the most =D. Not everything goes smoothly, but in the end, it all works out as long as I keep hammering on the the project.
I have a degree in Fine Art from San Jose State University and have been a professional seamstress for 20 + years, so I didn't jump into this with my eyes closed and I have a great deal of experience both in design and with fiber arts. A good, if ancient, Pfaff sewing machine, an almost equally ancient serger (the last non computerized model Huskylock made), and a Brother embroidery machine with a 4" sewing field are my power tools. Good equipment helps, but good things can be made on any equipment. This is where design creativity really comes in handy!
I hope you will follow along with me and make suggestions! I'm a far better seamstress/designer than I am a blogger!
