If any of you follow me on instagram, you probably saw my post last week about my plan to change directions with this blog [the first image here might look familiar ; ) ]. But, if you don't, after spending a couple weeks blogging I realized that they direction I was going (fashion and lifestyle) just wasn't who I am. Don't get me wrong I love fashion and style and cooking a perfect dinner, but it just wasn't what I was most passionate about and it wasn't where my creative side resides.

What I am truly passionate about, and haven't had an opportunity to indulge lately, is sewing. I have been a sewist throughout many different seasons of my life. My mom taught me to sew at about four and five and I picked it back up in high school after taking a Home Economic class (or whatever politically correct name they use today, it was called family and consumer science when I was a teenager). I had continued to sew into college but took a break with my hectic schedule and stressful time period in life.

• Making my way through the Colette Sewing Handbook
• Learning to properly fit patterns for crisp and presice garments
• Pattern drafting, I would love to be able to design my own clothes!
• Couture sewing techniques so that my garments are top notch quality
