I've had a lot of successes (M6030 above) and almost as many failures (that horrible purse debacle). Definitely not a quickie project to try to throw together to impress a niece.

Getting Started: Again
It's been a year since I posted in any of my blogs, so I am getting a schedule made up and hope to begin posting regularly again beginning next week. Sewing Retro has already been a Monday, staple, so I will more than likely keep that date. There are a lot of projects I have sewed this year and hope to include. Some Vogue, some Simplicity, I sewed a whole week of scrubs for an EMT and a bridesmaid's dress for a quaint little wedding for a girl that was over six feet tall!

I'll be doing some follow-up posts from previous projects as well as posting some new ones and some product reviews and comparisons. I am also returning to old projects such working on the quilt I started many years ago for my son, so it should be a great year for sewing and blogging and sewing and blogging . . . See you Monday, March 3!

Sewing Room Disaster Recovery
One of my goals this time around posting blogs is never to post anything that isn't worth reading. Like posting to just be posting. Until I get going, there may be a few posts--like this one--that are more musings and thoughts, but I hope to make each Monday a worthwhile visit for you.
I think the last time I wrote about my sewing room, I was moving things out and around. I didn't get very far. It's still a disaster and not much has been done. I am trying to get rid of a lot of music from a private teaching business I ran for almost 20 years. This has not been as easy as "putting it on eBay" as I had hoped. I can't seem to give the music away. However, I will keep trying and hope to post some on eBay just to be able to get rid of it now.
I have this horrible cubby hole thing my husband brought home from work. My husband kinda-sorta put it together wrong. When I pointed it out to him, the glue was dry. Ugh. I want to get rid of it without him know I was getting rid of it because I'm afraid of hurting his feelings. I had this great box that was the perfect size for patterns. Can't find any more of them, so I got some file boxes. These are too big, but what I did decide that once I sew something, instead of putting the whole pattern back in that envelope, I can label a file and put the file in the file box. It's kind of a hodge podge idea at the moment, but as I work with it, I think it will improve. It may turn out to use way too many file folders. I'll see as I progress. I also have gobs and gobs of magazines to get rid of and when I finish school, I will have a big box of homework and supplies I can be rid of, so this is going to be an ongoing project as it was last year.
