Hello!
I am Lisa and 'Welcome' to my creative place where I journal my handmade work.

I write mostly about my personal journey of sewing my clothes using a variety of pattern makers:  Burda, NewLook, Ottobre Women's, Vogue, McCall's, Alabama Chanin, Japanese sewing books... just to name a few....

There is a little knitting, crochet and tatting, but primarily a focus on sewing my clothes and learning new skills and techniques along the way.

Suzi is my loyal companion.  :)   (Updated to say I had to say goodbye to my sweet pup February 2020.  She is more surely missed.)

I also enjoy sharing a little of South Carolina's beautiful mountain area.

Thank you so much for stopping by and hope you might find a little inspiration here to encourage you on your own handmade journey.  :)
