New Year -- Gonna Jump On It -- Blogging Again

I'm not gonna say that I have a million resolutions because I know myself....they will eventually one by one be broken. My goal for this year is to try and blog once a week with the busy work and family life I have been living. I had this notion that I had to blog every day and that my blog would only be about sewing. Yes...sewing and showcasing my work was a big part of the reason why I wanted to start the blog in the first place, but I am realizing that there is so much more to "blog" about. As I have said in my previous post it's not about making money or trying to become famous. It's about being me and sharing the things that I love and love to do.

In the header of my blog it says:

"My journey as a beginner in the sewing and blogging community. The failures,the triumphs and the in between!!! "

I have to remind myself that I can blog about the in between and not let so much time go in between posts.

I do have a lot of posts brewing in my head. I have a few sewing projects that I will be working on. The one I am currently working on may be my first failure that I will post. Its a New Look pattern that I started but have been avoiding it because it was frustrating me. I think I will finish it though just to see what happens so I can learn from my mistakes.

I just ordered some fabric to start working on my first Craftsy class so I am pretty excited about that. I have been dreaming about finishing it before I even start it!

I am hoping to join the new January Sew Along with Pretty Girls Sew using a Butterick Pattern they chose. It will be my first sew along. I was afraid of the October Scandal Sew Along they did, but it's a new year to try new things and NOT be scared!!

I also saw some DIY Pintrest posts that I pinned to my board that I want to make as well.

I have a few plans to travel a little more and get back on my bike riding too.

Here I come 2015!!

I can't wait to jump into blogging again!

DIY -- Hello Kitty Scrub Top -- OOTD

DIY - Hello Kitty Scrub Top What I Wore Today Fabric from Joann Fabrics I'm not sure if you can buy this particular print online, but I did see it in a few of their retail stores. I used Wrights Extra Wide Double Fold Bias Tape accent the pockets and around the top. If you haven't read my About Me page yet, I state that I work full-time in the medical field. I don't have to wear scrubs all the time, but when I want to be comfortable it's my go to option!! I was tired of seeing the same scrub tops I was wearing that day on other co-workers in the hospital and smiling at each other because we didn't know what else to say. I felt like I was in People Magazine on the "Who Wore It Better" page. So I decided to start making my own tops!! This is the 2nd scrub top that I have ever made. The first one I made ended up being a complete bust (My Failure) and I never took a pic of it. I definitely learned for my mistakes (M...

Scrub - A - Dub Sunday!! DIY - Scrub Tops

DIY - Scrub Sunday!! I buckled down and add four more scrub tops to my work wardrobe. I did this really for two reasons. 1) I like how easy and fast it is for me at this moment, very calming and non-stressful sewing! 2) I enjoy the compliments I get from my co-worker for having original scrub tops! If you have not read my Fabric Haul 2 post, please check it out. There you will find a description of all the fabric I used for these scrub tops. Fabric Haul 2 My son decided that he wanted to draw all over my pocket template. To learn more about the Ideal Seam Guide that I use while sewing, check out my Tool I Can't Live Without Post It seemed easier for me to just cut all the fabric out and just sew everything at once. The only thing that was time consuming on these scrubs was changing the thread to match the color of the bias tape being used. The finished products!! So happy!! Can't wa...

Website Launch and New Blog

My New Website and New Blog www.SilverliningsOriginals.biz www.SilverliningsOriginals.biz/blog I have finally chosen a new place to start the second part of my journey in sewing. I am now part of the Wix family. Blogger has been so good to me and it's hard to say goodbye. I won't completely disable this blog because I know I still have frequent visitors. I have grown and changed and with that my content has changed. Since starting this blog a lot of things have happened on my sewing journey. I am now running a small business that seems to be getting busier and busier everyday. With that a new website and new blog had to be started. I hope you continue to follow my journey on the new website and blog. You should also subscribe to be privy to exclusive content.
