About One Stitch At A Time
Sewing is a gift from my grandmothers and my mother. When I learned is lost in the mist of time. My first sewing memory is sitting on the piano bench in my grandmother's basement sewing area laboring over a hand bound buttonhole on a little chambray purse. Sewing and embroidery is intertwined with most of my memories. One year my mother and I cross stitched a tree full of Chrismon ornaments for Christmas.
I made my prom dress, formal dress, wedding dress, fully lined wool suit, baby blankets, diapers, toddler clothes and toys, curtains, cushions, costumes, on and on.
Sewing and embroidery have brought me joy, peace and beauty over the decades and saved me a bit of money along the way. Although, it has probably cost more than it saved.
While I have made any number of things over the years, my current sewing interests are blackwork embroidery for my Renaissance Fair costume, Renaissance Fair costumes, weaving on a warp weighted loom for a historical re-enactment, spinning on a drop spindle, growing flax to process and spin into linen. I've been learning Sashiko embroidery and indigo dyeing and hope one day to turn the tanmono of fabric I bought in Japan into a Yukata.
I hope to share the skills that have brought me so much joy with you. Please check out the site and text me with any questions.
