Hi Yall. Im gonna be honest, I have no flippin idea what I am doing on here Lol. I am not a tech savey person. Seriously, my husband has to set my watch for me. But I love sewing and I just want to share that. It started with bows. I wanted to make my daughter a Texans bow (woo hoo go JJ WATT) and I made bows for awhile and loved it but my daughter was not a big fan. She would pull them off as fast as I would put them on so it got old. Add to that, I could made her the prettiest bow in the world and she didn't have cute clothes to wear with it. On a different craft group Im in, someone mentioned to try Create Kids Couture for some cute and easy sewing patterns and I couldn't help myself. I found their pattern group page and was hooked. They had me at Poppy (one of the cutest designs ever). It took me a bit to jump in. They have some seriously talented ladies on there. But once I did, I haven't looked back. I've branched out to a couple of different designers since then although I love me some CKC. I'll come back to them later and tell you how amazing they are. The best part of sewing, my daughter sees a handmade dress I have made and says "pretty" and when she puts it on she says "Im a princess". Its pretty priceless and a feeling that no store bought outfit has ever given either one of us. I tried selling my handmade dresses and did sell a few but it is hard to work in that time with a potty training toddler. Kudos to the women that can do it. I just found that I was so frustrated with having to take time away from Raegan (Im a slow sewer) and decided it was best to just do it for enjoyment. It was a fantastic decision. Maybe I will try to make it a business again when she starts school but who the heck knows. So that leads me to this blog and the need to share how much I love sewing. Whew, thats all. Im out of breath. Now you know what led me here. I hope to share new pattern reviews, great designers to work with, awesome shops to purchase from and creations that I make that make me and my daughter smile. I will have my first pattern review coming up in a few days from a new designer and Im sort of in love. Hopefully my little one will want to cooperate long enough to take a few pictures for me tomorrow. Ha, who am I kidding, shes two.
