Hi, my name is Sarah and I’ve been addicted to searching for that perfect tutorial for the past 6 months. I need help!! But seriously, I am addicted to finding all those perfect tutorials to make. I am a self taught sewer. I am my own worst critic. Aren’t we all! I have created a few of my own projects, bought a couple of patterns, and downloaded a few. But the best projects I have done have been ones that I have found on the web with step by step tutorials. No physical pattern to speak of.
Literally one morning I was sitting in bed with my laptop (trust me, that was a very rare occasion! I’ll get into more about me in a few!) searching and searching different tutorials. I realized I had been adding a TON (literally hundreds) of tutorials to my
favorites bar in my
sewing folder, so now I couldn’t decipher one thing from the next. Then I got this brilliant idea - create a blog with my favorite tutorials. After all I must not be the only one finding myself doing this. Right? Please tell me there are others!!
In this blog I will try my best to credit the appropriate people/blogs, to post accurate links, and to help YOU find whatever it is you need! Feel free to ask me any questions!
Now for a little about me. I am a stay at home mom of two children - Riley is almost 3 and Lucas is almost 1. (they were born on the same day 2 years and 29 minutes apart!!!) Before I had kids I worked as a case manager for kids in therapeutic foster care (amongst other jobs prior to that) and while I loved it, I hated it at the same time. Such an emotionally draining job to say the least! I always knew I wanted to be a SAHM so when I got pregnant (with my then boyfriend of 5ish years) I immediately knew what my future held. And I was so excited! So three years later, a second child later and going on 2 1/2 years married, I find myself BORED out of my mind! Any other SAHM’s feel that way? I love staying home with my kids, don’t get me wrong, but I need something other than baby talk, building blocks and oh let’s learn how to walk! I picked up sewing about 6 months back. I had sewn a tad in the past, but just a blanket or two…so big squares, haha! Since then, I have taught myself sew much (pun totally intended!) about sewing and creating! I love it! I am excited to share with you the tutorials that I find easy/potentially easy/cute/necessary. I will try to post at least twice a week, but my kids keep me B.U.S.Y - BUSY! I don’t claim the rights to anything I post unless I specifically state “I CREATED THIS!” and I don’t claim to have made anything/everything I post. I will try to post pics of what I do make from these tutorials, but I have one problem, I always forget where my camera is! I hope you have sew much fun searching through these tutorials! (And please let me know how I can make this blog better. I am not claiming to be a blogging expert, in fact, besides facebook, I don’t put anything out there on the Internet.)
