hello blog!
It has been so busy here that I have been neglecting my poor blog for some time! Hard at work, though, and as soon as I can breathe I have some great pictures to post of projects I have been working on both for myself and for the shop. Yay sewing! I have been obsessed lately with Japanese sewing books - there is a bookstore in downtown Los Angeles that has a huge selection. And just today I found this site, which shows it's not just me who is bowled over by the superior design and cute clothes!

I have already (modified) and made a blouse from one of my books, and plan on doing a little tutorial on how to trace off the patterns and add the seam allowances.
The very biggest news is that we are days away from opening our online fabric store and have been working around the clock to get as much stuff as we can up before we go live. We have so much fabric, so many patterns, and so many tools! Taking all the pictures takes forever...
Very much looking forward to hanging out tomorrow with Hollye from Hello Cozy for some sewing action and quite possibly Japanese Bookstore action!
