So, I started 'pinning'. I am not at all techie but this seems to fascinate me. Or maybe it just gives an excuse to play on the computer instead of exercising. It also gives me something to converse about in a group of younger women, like my daughters.


Many, many years ago, when websites were becoming popular, I wanted to start one on sewing. Hints, techniques, patterns, products, ideas, etc. -- I wanted to share all the fun! I have even wished I could have had a public access TV show. I love the ones on TV now! One of my favorites is Quilting Arts TV. The host, Pokey (yes her real name) brings a whole new world of creative sewing and fabric crafts to my knowledge base. 


In the more recent years, I have been doing a lot of alterations to make prom dresses look like a young woman would feel comfortable in it. Some times it is a challenge because of the way they are made. But I like to do them. For the website, I had even thought about presenting all the many ways of making a dress modest -- especially for those delightful prom dresses. Here is one dress -- the pics are a little out of order but you can see what was done.

This is the back --- yes, there was a hole.

This is the front ...

And this is the dress I began with. The color was gorgeous and we lucked out by having a friend who had this extra piece of curtain sheer that matched perfectly. And there is a whole story behind my friend being there to give us the fabric. I often saw miracles happen because these girls wanted to have a modest, high fashion dress. It is one of the fun things I do with sewing.


Of course, I also wanted to be behind the scenes of The Price is Right --- inventing games --- not modeling! 


Guess I got side tracked. 
So, I started 'pinning' . . . more stories later!
