Hello There! :)
I had decided awhile back that I wanted to blog about the crafts I have been completing lately. Then I would forget to take appropriate pictures of what I was doing, or I would have pictures, but not at the right stages of the project! So, my goal here is to show everyone what I can do.
I am a working mother of one sweet little girl named Khloe. She loves to help me with EVERYTHING, and the older she gets I do try to let her get involved with my crafts so that we can spend time together. She may not do anything more than "hold the fabric in place" or hand me some fabric," but to her that is everything!
I am not a sewing expert. I love to make things and take quite a different view of how to accomplish my goals than the "normal" sewing person. For starters, I DO NOT use patterns! They are complicated to me! I do, however, watch tutorials or look at pictures of something someone has done. My process is simply this, I think of something I want to wear or use. I think of how the lines would be sewn together, or how to make a seam disappear and look nice. That is it. Once I have thought about a project for a few days I get to it. I do learn quite a bit from a project, usually how not to do something! But, I am ok with learning this way. I have made 3 dresses for me, 2 dresses for Khloe, 1 skirt, 2 blankets, and 2 bags. I have the makings of a shirt, but it is not complete. I also have fabric for about 4 more dresses and several shirts and bags.
With all that said, I think I am going to begin this blog by showing what I have done before. I would love to make things for other people, but with my skills being that of a very beginning beginner; I wouldn't know where to start with pricing! For now, if someone confronts me (and they have) I will take it one garment at a time and decide then if I can and will do it for them.
I hope you enjoy my blog and I look forward to feed back!! Thanks for reading :)

Hey girl! I am excited to read what you have created as well. I do use patterns on occasion but normally just as a rough draft. I NEVER read the instructions, which may or may not be a good thing. I can refer back to the patterns as far as sizing when I am making stuff that is not for the girls or me, I have to base it on what size they are. Anyways, I will be keeping up with the page. Later, if you want to do a guest post on my blog I would be glad to have you assist me.
