My First Blog


This is my first post, and I wanted to explain why I have started this blog.

Well, I decided since I love staying home and being a SAHM to my three kids that that was great, but I also need to earn some money somehow. As there just never seems to be quite enough to go around, if you know what I mean!! And I do really love sewing and creating things for my kids, so I thought well maybe I could sew kids clothes and try selling them. Now, I'm not quite up to the standard that I think is good enough to be selling my home made clothes to other people, but with plenty of practice I am getting there. I decided every good clothes sewing person needs a great overlocker, so I invested in one, a Brother Overlock 3034D that definately helps the clothing I make look a lot more professional. I am having a lot of fun with my new toy, I just love it!! Except, I am trying to master the flatlock stitch and that is proving to be quite difficult. So am going to have to practice that one alot! Also I need to get some good patterns to use, but I'm getting there! So this blog is just going to be about my everyday progress, the good and the bad lol!! So hope you enjoy! Here is a photo of some leggings I have sewn for my 7yr old this weekend. And following, when my models get home from school, I will post some photos of some pixie skirts I have also made this weekend and a link of where to get the tutorial. Coming up soon!!
