New studio!

This spring my family moved to a new home. We love it! We have been busy unpacking boxes and painting and learning about our new abode. I especially love it as I now have a studio to work in! No more living room sewing lessons! Hooray!
The sewing room is on the far end of the house and has a door leading directly to it from the side. I chose a pale peach/pink for the walls and a fiery rust red for the accents. It looks awesome! Very girly but not too froufrou .
The most fantastic thing about having the space is that I have been able to take on more students. This is my only job now and I love it! I am able to be home for my family and have a job that is really fun. It rocks! This is what I have been working towards for the past two years. It has finally paid off and is a thriving busy business.! Yippee!

This weeks I have had three lessons. It is a slow week and I am happy for the break! ☺ I have 7 scheduled for next week . I have some new students and they are a fun bunch! They are all so interested and eager to learn- I just love it!

My plan is to write each week about my projects and what everyone is learning in their lessons.

This week Nina finished her purse! She did a great job! She was so careful with her stitching .
Here she is showing it off!



Nina is 11 and wants to a fashion designer one day.
Here is a photo of her winding her bobbin.



Amy is new with me and made her first project with this week: She made a tablerunner and it turned out gorgeous! She chose beautfiul fabrics and did a lovely job of topstitching aroud the edges. She is going to send me a picture:)


Today Candace learned all about the wonderful world of hems. She is heading back to college soon and we are trying to pack in as much as we can before she leaves. Next week we will make her first skirt.


I am going to take pictures of the new studio tonight and will put them up soon.

See ya!
