A Little Bit About Me

Hi, my name is Connie; I am married to a wonderful man and have a 2 year old cat named Ariel. I have four beautiful children and seven gorgeous Grandchildren! My grandchildren are my inspiration for life and my current day sewing.

I've been sewing for just about all of my life! I began sewing when I was five years old! Yep, five! My Aunt Maybelle taught me to hand sew way back in 1953; I made a green flannel turtle. I soon became interested in my grandmothers old Singer. At thirteen, my Aunt taught me to use her Sears Kenmore. I'll have to ask her why I had to wait until I was thirteen. Geesh my grandchildren have been using a computer since they were old enough to sit up!! At any rate, I was mesmerized with the art of dressmaking and sewing.

I sewed on and off through out my youth and later made my children’s and my mothers clothing. In 1978, after my last child was in Grammar school, I realized I needed a real, money making career. I attended college from 1979-1982 and graduated with an Associates Degree in Electronics Technology. Needless-to-say, my sewing went by the wayside.

Fast forward to 2008..............With a state of the art Husqvarna Sewing Machine a Serger and a new found love of the art, I'm back at sewing again and loving it even more! I take an abundance of pride in each piece that I create. I am always amazed after creating a garment from a flat piece of fabric. I am currently quite "into" creating from Vintage Patterns. It's absolutely thrilling to work with a pattern that's older than me!

It seems that everytime I create a garment there may be a technique that I either don't know or have never tried.
I'll be sharing these tips and techniques with you as I learn them or try them out for the first time.
