Sewing is a lot like life...sure, there are patterns for just about everything, but in order to love what you do, or love what you make, you have to change the pattern to make it your own regardless if the change is a fraction of an inch or the length of a yard. And more often that not, those choices you make to change the pattern do not work out exactly the way you hope. It can be frustrating and challenging, and sometimes you have have to rip it all apart at the seams and start completely over. Which requires patience. A lot of patience. But in doing so, you create something that is far more rewarding, and far more beautiful, then what you started with.

Handmade for the Holidays Guides

In support of pledging to shop handmade this season, I've put together a guide to all the holiday goodness that is currently taking place over the next few weeks, including my own "I Bought It Handmade This Holiday" party!

Visit all of these fun sites, support the handmade shops that are participating in these Holiday Gift Guides, then link back up here to share your gifts! Check back often for new gift ideas and new Holiday Gift Guides!
