BURDASTYLE LOVIN'

Hey pals. I was interviewed as a featured member on BurdaStyle this month! (Queue me blushing and looking down modestly.... for about 2 seconds before jumping up & down in Sally Fields-esque "You like me! You really like me!" outburst).

It was a lovely opportunity to think hard about how sewing has changed my life and what being a part of this community has done for me (which is in essence, everything). You can read the entire piece here. Thank you to BurdaStyle for reaching out to me! I abstemiously adore their site and was blown away and honored to be asked to contribute.

    You know, I haven't been on Burdastyle in ages, but then this morning I decided to look and there you were! Very cool. I'll have to spend some more time over there (and post some of the 20 something projects I've completed since I last added anything)
    Thanks for the info about the Featherweight too. I know it's nit-picky, but I'm holding out for a good one with case and accessories. They come up often enough, but I usually don't get to them on time. Some day though....

  2. Well done! The interview was fantastic. Although I refuse to believe that your sewing room is THAT neat. Mine resembles your tornado costume.

    Congratulations on being featured! All of your garments are so well done and uniquely you, but that green and white stripe dress remains one of my favorite makes of yours.
