Sewing is Art
Sew, eat, sleep. Nothing else matters.
Sewing is Art springs from Kelly Hogaboom's sewing room high in a turret overlooking 6th street in HQX. She's currently working on a corset. Yes, a corset.
Featured Project: Portland Coat
My birthday present to my brother was a custom-designed coat! He seems to want it designed like many of his other coats! That's fine with me.

I was recently gifted (under somewhat odd circumstances) a gift card for $25 at our has-everything local store. This gave me permission to stock up on that stuff I "need" (rather than project materials). So here's my haul:
* 1 pack Schmetz universal needles
* 1 packSchmetz denim / jeans needles
* 6 class 66 bobbins (tired of winding contrasting thread on half-bobbins)
* Olfa 45 mm rotary blade (i want to marry my rotary cutting stuff)
* Nonce dark fabric marking pencil (anyone knowing the best marking methods out there - let me know!)
* Dritz seam-ripper (goodbye to my faithful "Brownie")
Total: $21.27
This leaves $3.73 which should be enough for a zipper (super-secret gift for Kelly). Desired next purchase, to the tune of $15 or so: cork board to hang in my sewing room.
