Today I am throwing a birthday party for myself! It is also a screening party as I am going to show off a TV show pilot that I created and recently shot (wish me luck!).
I’m taking a short break from the madness of getting ready and came across this delightful little party favor. It is [...]

Ethical Women’s Clothing

August 28, 2008 | Leave a Comment

I was fortunate to hear about an adorable new line out of Melbourne, Australia. Heidi and Seek features fabulous little tops and dresses that are 100% original. Designer Hayley Lau sews each garment from reclaimed materials. These pieces are all one-of-a-kind or from a very limited edition.
Now you can look cute and be ethical!

August 26, 2008 | 1 Comment

Janome has paired up with the fabulous Threadbanger to create some cool sewing machines.
TB12 features 12 stitches and a cast aluminum body. This machine is based on an older Janome model. As someone who sews solely on vintage machines because they are metal and not made of plastic like newer models tend to be- these [...]

Girls in Painted Dresses

I have decided that the best birthday present that I can give myself is to re-create my line of clothing. Yes, bring back Candiland clothing. I loved being a designer until one day I woke up and was so super burnt. It was about this time that I disciovered Craft TV Shows and fell in [...]

As my birthday is coming, the number #1 thing on my birthday wish list is the Singer Izek Sewing Machine. It is SO cool.
It combines sewing technology with video game technology to create one very unique machine. A friend of mine has one and from what I can gather (as I haven’t really played with [...]

August 17, 2008 | Leave a Comment

I am not really one to wear tee-shirts that say stuff. But when I was on vacation I went to the Seattle Mariners Stitch n’ Pitch. An evening of knitting and baseball- besides sewing and cocktails, my other 2 fave pastimes!
