Just Sew It

Ty Pennington is going to be designing fabric for Westminster/Freespirit fabrics. Can’t wait to see his line of fabrics!

I custom create window treatments, bedding, accessories and more. On my Etsy store, I create specific items for your home such as pillow covers, heat therapy bags, baby bedding, baby comfort accessories and more. Please visit my store from time to time to see what I may have in store.

I do custom sewing for people sometimes specifically home decor. Sewing is a wonderful skill for this very reason and people love window treatments made specially for their home.

I made the following curtains for a living room in a show home in Edmonton located in Ambleside. A new division just off the Anthony Henday on the south side across from Windermere.

For this little girl’s room, I made the window treatment along with a matching throw pillow. The fabric is divine. Want to spice up a bedroom? Pick a fabric that is rich and that you absolutely love. It magically brings a room alive.

My bedroom is getting a makeover courtesy of moi. Sophisticated and whimsical is the inspiration for my bedroom. Pictures soon.

This weekend I plan on sewing my daughter’s Halloween costume. She is going to be a flapper girl. I’d also like to cut out my muslin for the trench coat I’m sewing.

Sheila has lost weight or should I say I have. I’ve lost 15 lbs.! How? By watching my calorie and sodium intake. I do not eat burgers and fries at McDonalds any more and I have cut out 99% of processed foods. Fresh food. That’s it. So, now I have to adjust Sheila which makes me feel good to see her thinner.

I found some fabric at Marshall Fabric for my trench coat. I’m not sure what type of fabric it is as this store does not really properly label their fabrics. I do know this much it is for outerwear. It has the right texture though. I’d like to line this coat with something from Amy Butler. The lining is going to cost more than the main fabric. Oh well.

Project Runway Canada has started and it’s good. Different host and mentor but just as good. I could never do that show if I was a designer. Very competitive and very very stressful. Some of the challenges they give are extremely difficult. You’d have to be a quick thinker and work very fast. One gal competing cannot sew. How can anyone be on that show and not sew. She hand sewed her garments. Weird. I would have liked to see her get the boot as she was also very arrogant.

Okay, now I’m really jealous. Amy Butler now has a line of paper and embellishments for scrapbooking. I love her scrapbooking line just as much as her fabric. I would love to be a designer like Amy Butler. That would be my dream to have a studio and to be called a designer.

I am working on a skirt by Burda. Fabric? Amy Butler of course. Her fabric is soooo delicious! I’ll post pics when I’m done.
