Hello world!

Here's my first post. Let's see if I can come up with enough content to keep this thing going!

I've recently begun sewing again after a 20 year hiatus and as part of that adventure I've discovered the wonderful world of sewing blogs. There is a gold mine of information out there, people!

Sewing can be a lonely hobby. Unless you're an accomplished hand sewer, you're tethered to your machine. Plus you need your iron and ironing board, scissors, thread, ham, and all the other doodads that make for a successful FO.

I'm lucky enough to have a friend nearby who also likes to sew, so I'm not as lonesome as I might be, but I'd like to broaden my circle of people who might actually like to talk about sewing.

  1. Congrats on your blog!

    Ham? A sewing supply I don't know about?

    1. I really should have said tailors ham. It's a bag of sawdust shaped like a (you guessed it) ham. You use it to press curves and other odd shapes. But a slice or two of regular ham is always a good thing!

  2. I have a darning egg that might go nicely with your ham.

    1. You know why they call the darning eggs, right? Because women used to cuss whenever they used them. Darn kids, why can't they be more careful with their darned socks...
