Sewing Lingerie

Hello Califabrics blog readers (and anyone else who's stumbled upon this blog)! How are you doing today? I'm back with a post about underthings. Woo hoo! I have a lot of me-made items in my closet, in fact, I pretty much wear exclusively me-mades now, but one thing I am lacking in, is underthings. I've made a few bras here and there, and I have a couple of pairs of undies, but ...

Dude Sewing – Men’s Pyjama Pants

Hey Everybody! What brings you over to these parts? Fabric shopping? Or maybe fabric stalking?

I mean, I'm blogging on someone else's blog, and not just anyone's blog, a fabric store's blog! Eeeeep! How cool is this? Anyway, I better get on with it, before the boss catches me gossiping by the water cooler. When I was shopping on the CaliFabrics ...

Hi! I’m Heather!

Hi! I’m Heather and I love to sew! I fell in love with garment sewing about 3 years ago when my husband gave me a serger for Christmas. While googling serger tutorials, I stumbled upon sewing blogs and the wonderful world of Indie Patterns. I couldn’t believe that there was this huge community of people out there, making really fashionable clothes that didn’t look homemade at all. How was that ...
