(F)requently (A)sked (Q)uestions


I have been asked through Email, Text messages, Instagram and other social medias questions in regard to my sewing.  I wanted to make a section to answer the most frequently asked questions.  I hope this helps. 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Is sewing your livelihood?

A: No. Sewing is just a hobby for me at this time?  I work full-time at a hospital and sew whenever I can.  I am always thinking about sewing though!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: Do you take orders or sew for other people?

A: At this time I do not.  I have been thinking about it more lately as some opportunities have been presenting themselves.  I'm not sure if I would do it on a regular basis, but I'm still open to it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: Do you sew all the clothes you wear?

A: I don't have that many "Me Made" clothes in my closet yet.  I am hoping to one day have a months worth of handmade clothes in my closet to switch off  and wear everyday.  I do mix and match my "Me Made" tops and bottoms with items I have purchased.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: Do you sew clothing for men?

A: The only thing I have made for a man to date is a pair of lounge pants!!  There isn't a lot out there in the way of patterns that catch my eye for men.  I don't totally have an objection to it.  Just not my forte at this time.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: Do you sew clothing for children?

A: I have made a few pajama sets for my kids around the Christmas season, but normally I don't make kids clothing.  My kids would rather go to the store and buy clothes.  The patterns and fabric aren't "Cool Enough" for them! LOL
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: What is your blog about?

A: Right now I would say my blog is my personal journal that is open to the world about my journey as a beginner in the sewing community.  As my "journal" obtains more entries I am hoping to see myself grow.  I want to look back and be amazed at how far I have come.

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.
