About Me
I started sewing because my wife and I wanted new clothes but didn’t have “new clothes money…” so we began going to Goodwill and buying clothes that were still in good shape. Sometimes the fit would be a little off.
After taking some of our clothes to the tailors one day and seeing the bill, I thought to myself, why?! I could do this and we could save money.
So started watching videos, I bought my Brother Sewing Machine, slowly taught myself how to sew and there you have it.
The information on this site is some of the things I’ve learned since then and things I wish I would have had available to me when I first got started.
I’ve been sewing for awhile now, and I’ve done some cool projects since then…
- Hemming pants
- Hemming skirts
- Taking in shirts
- T-shirt quilts
- Making curtain
- Making burp cloths
- Mending doggie beds
- Sewing on patches
- Fixing straps
- Resizing a football jersey…
I hope you enjoy the site, check out my home page to learn why I believe the Brother sewing machines are some of the best for any level.
The money I have earned sewing for others on the side and doing my families alterations myself has paid for our sewing machine and some. Plus… it’s a great skill to have.
Thank you
