Serger

Anybody know where I can buy replacement blades for a white Superlock Serger? I have searched the internet to no avail.

Maxi Dress

Inspired by Erica B., whose maxi dress post made me say "I want one!" out loud. Now, I been wearing maxi dresses for years regardless of whether they are in style at the moment or not, I just love them. So much so that the husband gets hot and bothered if he sees my legs in public lol. So what I really meant was "I want a NEW one!" I didn't have any stretch material, which is a shame because I was gonna straight-up steal Erica's dress design, but I did have 4 yards of this print from Joanns. The selvage states that this is "A print exclusive for Joann Fabric" so I guess Joann's is doing big things since the last time I used to shop there regularly (in the 90's). The print kinda muddles the design details and I gotta get my husband to work on his photography skills , but here it is!

*This a pattern drafted by me, excuse the kid who is trying to make his escape while we are distracted*

New stuff in my Etsy shop FINALLY!

WHoooo.. that was some hiatus there. My baby is one, the other is six and time continues to fly. I'm finally getting some sleep here and there and am ready to get back to it. Anyone still out there?

Looking for me?

I'm sorry I haven't been posting here as often as I should, but I have a good excuse! My 9 month old won't allow me to sit at a sewing machine for longer than 5 minutes these days. I am currently running for Housewife of the Year in my mind.
