What a luxury it is to have a room dedicated to sewing. However, it is bittersweet. I have been raising my grandchild. He has gone to live with his mother. I miss him terribly, but I am glad to have a room in which to let my creative juices flow. I haven't done any fashion sewing for some time (always putting it off until I lose those 30 pounds!), but I have been sewing for my home. So, I decided to begin my blog by showing the transition from a boy's room to a sewing room. The stripes on the walls are painted 6" wide in two shades of blue. The accents are Red The west-facing room gets bright light in the late afternoon but can be gray early in the day. I wanted the room to feel bright, feminine, and welcoming. The room needed to sub as a Guest Room, and to offer a comfortable place to sit and do handwork or watch DVDs. I wanted yellow. Not a sunflower yellow, but something smooth, like butter. I like Sherwin-Williams paints. They sell small
Hello and welcome to SewFashionista! I love quality - in my clothing and in my home and typically, I can’t (or won’t) afford the high end things that I’m automatically drawn to. I sew to have the quality that I desire, without the price. I sew because often times, I want what I want. I sew because I’m 5’9” tall and although fashion models are tall, ready-to-wear clothing is not made for tall people! I sew because my maturing body needs better fit. I sew because it relaxes me. It is my creative, artistic outlet. I sew because I am passionate about it. I love the textures and colors. I sew because it is fun. Thank you for joining me on my sewing journey.
