New house, new sewing room!

My reaction to a sewing machine. BEFORE picture.

  
 I have been sucked into the vortex of sewing. I am a self taught seamstress! Years before diving straight into this Ebay adventure I had been paralyzed by my own fear of creativity. I felt overwhelmed by the wealth of knowledge that I had yet to acquire regarding anything and everything involving a sewing machine. Sewing machines are not the least bit inviting.

I don't look cuddly and cute?

     I forced myself to learn how to alter and restore. "I cannot be defeated," I told myself. I started altering everything by hand. I still prefer to do alterations by hand, probably because I am a control freak. Unfortunately, I cannot control time and so the use of a sewing machine was/is necessary. Hours spent online researching and YouTube browsing, I feel confidant that I can bring an old piece of fabric back to life! Keep checking back as I have lots of alteration pictures coming soon!!!

Pretend the tiger is a sewing machine and the woman is me. That's how I feel about sewing machines now.

All things vintage.

Vintage Passion/Obsession.

Emma Watson in Vogue's July edition. The mod dress is back!

It is difficult to deny the resurrection of the 70's. Every magazine I have been flipping through lately is smeared with mod dress, bell bottoms and paisley. This makes me very happy!

I had no idea how much I loved the 70's until I took a step back and looked at my life. Paisley sheets on my bed, long skirts and wooden platform shoes. Since then I have embraced my vintage fashion obsession and took it a step further. Altering and restoring vintage clothing is my passion. My dear friend Stacy Wagoner introduced me to the idea of selling and here I am. I hope you find something that amazes you in the store. Each piece is carefully chosen and loved until it leaves.

Wear it beautifully,
