Evil only lives in the night. Evil people never want to tell the truth. The Republican party is Evil because they want to hide the truth.

The Republicans party does not want people to know the true American History.

The Good, the bad and the ugly.

Only with the whole truth, can America be free, to grow to it's complete Greatest.

Real Christians tell the truth. Republicans are not real Christians. They act like Savages.

Real American Patriots believe in Truth, Justice and the American Way.

God bless America.

Reposted from @fiberpartsshop Signal Boosting! #atlstrong #blm #blacklivesmatter Posted @withregram • @vksbofficial I am officially closing @vksbofficial in order to honor the wonderful Black owned tailors and cleaners that already exist in Atlanta. If you have pieces I am working on, I will get them back to you this fall when I am back from Hawaii. Do your research. I know taking up this space as a tailor and designer for the past year with this business has taken away from Black businesses in Atlanta. Some of the things I’ve considered: Are my mainly white clients more comfortable and trusting of my work because I am a white woman? Is it “easier to understand me” because I am not multi-lingual, and english is my first language? Are clients more comfortable inviting me into their homes and private spaces for fittings because I am white? While I’m not saying these things are necessarily the case with my clients, I am saying this is a chance to support the Black community in Atlanta directly and think about how you spend your money with the creative community. Get to know Black tailors who have been in this work for decades. Support Black makers. Please follow @blkmakersmatter to support Black creatives in the fashion, sewing, and maker community. I am here with you doing the work. It is important to decenter and not take up space from Black artists. #blacklivesmatter Reposted from: @killermike - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/CBHs_i1pT1v/?igshid=3ktzw0z4iugt

It’s been awhile since I’ve written. It’s been hard to imagine posting smiling photos of me in new clothes when there’s anger, hurt and death because of the systematic racism that surrounds us (during a global pandemic, no less). I’ve learned that I know very little about the daily experience of being black. So, I want to say that I’m committed to listening and learning. I support #Blacklivesmatter and am looking to the leadership and posts from @blkmakersmatter on IG. As my first action step, I am committing to making my sewing dollars count by buying from only those organizations that support anti-racism, equality and inclusion. 

Creating anything….art, clothes, music, helps us find our best selves. So in that spirit, I share what I’ve been sewing lately….

This month, Sew Over It London launched a beautiful ebook calledSummer Dreaming.It includes a collection of  patterns that comprise a capsule wardrobe for summer. As a Pattern Insider, I had the opportuitiy to try the patterns before release. So today, I offer an overview of the pieces I made from that collection.

The key piece in my capsule is the Sorrento Jacket. It’s designed with lots of fun seams, pockets and tabs at the waist. Since I’m a big fan of topstitching, I could hardly wait to sink my teeth into this one. And it did not disappoint!  I was a little concerned about the length of the jacket since I’m short-waisted and only 5’ 4”. The sizing of this pattern was spot on for me. I did do a tissue fitting, paying attention to the shoulders and waistline. In the end, I decided to leave all as is and the fit is good!

  The double seams in the front are so retro and cool. It’s well worth the time required to make it. If I had to say, I’d rate the skills required to make the jacket at intermediate level. Collar insertion and cuffs are required which can be a bit challenging, but the instructions are very complete. There’s lots of topstitching on the jacket which takes time, but I personally love sewing projects with alot of detail. I used a light gray thread to make the stitching pop. I chose medium weight denim and I’m glad I didn’t go any heavier. A heavy denim would make it difficult to get the thick seams pressed and topstitched, so I’d stick with a light to medium weight denim.

Next up is the Ravello dress… a lovely versatile pattern. You can make it as a dress (long or short) or you can crop it as a top. I made it three ways, as a short dress, a cropped wrap top in linen and also another wrap top in Liberty cotton. The dress is a breeze to make, and is perfect for a beginner. It isn’t lined, so beware of picking a sheer fabric. A linen, lightweight cotton or rayon would be my choices for this pattern. It’s a quick make as the kimono style sleeves are cut into the bodice – – you can make this one in an afternoon. I love my top versions too, and want to make a long dress in the future.

Here’s the long wrap top version.

And here’s the cropped linen version with the skirt of my Siena sun dress.

  The most challenging piece of all in the collection has to be the Siena dress!

It can be made into a one piece sundress or made as separates ( a camisole style top and skirt). I love to mix and match so I chose the separates version. The dress has a shirred back and since I’d never tried shirring before I had to give this a whirl. It’s a fun process and not to hard to do. The top wasn’t the easiest piece to fit but end result was worth it. I made both pieces from linen. Rayon or cotton would work well too. I absolutely love the skirt. It will be in heavy rotation throughout the summer.

My last make from the collection was the Alba skirt.

This skirt is what summer dressing is all about! It’s a simple wrap skirt that you can make with or without a ruffle. I made it without the ruffle and it was such a fast easy make. A flowy fabric like rayon is best for this skirt. I like to wear it with a tee shirt, or with my Ravello top or my Sorrento jacket!

This collection really would be perfect for travel (when we can safely do that again! ). The patterns are at a variety of sewing levels so there’s something here for everyone. I’ll use the jacket, dress and skirt patterns again and again. Thanks to Sew Over It for giving me the chance to try out these lovely patterns!

Happy sewing and thanks for stopping by.

The evidence is clear trump lied.

trump attempted to overthrow American Democracy and America it's self.

trump tried to become Hitler and the Republican Party has helped him.

The Republican Party is now the Nazis Party.

If they the Republicans don't impeach trump.

They will have chosen Evil over Truth.

It's Common Sense, this is Un- American.

Good people can no longer be Republicans.

Real American Patriots believe in Truth, Justice and the American Way.

God bless America.

Happy #Throwbackthursday one week left and the holiday season begins. Let’s be honest how many of you have already started putting up your holiday decorations because you needed a little cheer in your home? You’re not alone. I am itching to put some things up. I’m just working through some more clutter right now. I made these pants earlier this year and I’m so glad my desk doesn’t look like that anymore. 🤣 (y’all know I keep it real on here) But I still have some work to do. Good news is that my blog post about them is finally up on @minervadotcom . I included a video on how to create an account and join a great community, plus you’ll hear about great deals on supplies. Be sure to click the link in my bio for this goodie.

OH MY GOSH! What a week. What a voting season. From the endless text messages and phone calls to the paper in the mail. It has been a stressful time. Today I can finally smile. Behind this smile is still some sadness that this wasn’t a landslide and that over 70 million people still think racism, bigotry, sexism and classism are okay to overlook. We still have our work cut out for us, but today I will sign off of social media and enjoy the small victory with my family. Please be safe out there this week. The crazies are out. And yes, I made the entire outfit.

Happy Friday Introverts! This week has been all about home decor. I honestly haven’t gotten much sewing done, but I have been tidying up the apartment trying to make things look pretty and a little less cluttered. My project this week was to clear off the top of the bookshelf that was full of my fabric stash. I wanted to make a unique vase that stood out and decided to take three simple pieces to complete it. Check out the link in my bio for the blog post or if you just want to know where to find the ingredients follow my liketoknow.it link to get started making your own.

In honor of National Wear Red day. I pulled this red number from the archives. Most of you know I suffer from blood clots and pulmonary embolism, which is due to a protein S deficiency that was triggered by taking birth control to control my fibroids. Yeah, I know how wild that sounds, but I am not alone. Blood clots left untreated can lead to cardiovascular diseases such as heart attacks and strokes. These diseases cause 1 in 3 deaths in women every year making it the number one health related killer in women. So this is near and dear to my heart. Did you know these are signs of a stroke or heart attack in a woman? ⛔Sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm or leg, especially on one side of the body ⛔Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding ⛔Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes ⛔Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination ⛔Sudden, severe headache with no known cause Here’s how you can help combat this disease: ❣️ Quit smoking. ❣️Exercise regularly. ❣️Maintain a healthy weight. ❣️Eat a healthy diet. ❣️Manage your stress. ❣️Limit alcohol. ❣️Take your medicine as prescribed. ❣️Manage other health conditions. What are you will you start doing today?
