Tell me what you would like to learn most!
I have been sewing and crafting most of my life and Love to teach. I find that everywhere I go when people find out what I do they say "Man I wish I was creative", "I wish I could sew", or I made this or that when I was such & such age "I wish I could do it again", I have a sewing machine my ___ gave me but hardly know how to use it".
Well I am here to help! FREE
I am just starting in the blogging world and I need your help too, I need to write tutorials you want to start to quilt, sew, or make something cool out of so called junk around the house like all the crafty soccer moms are doing these days. Like turning that old treasured record into a cool clock for about $3 and 10 min. Maybe fix a rip in a expensive pair of jeans your son/daughter just had to have an now wont wear and fix it in a way that there snooty friends would Never know.

Bag-O-Holic Bag Swap: See My Progress
I have just picked out my fabrics and settled on a design. I decided (as I can NEVER do anything the easy way) to use No pattern and just make it all up as I go! I use this technique For most of my projects but never a bag/purse.etc... so I am quite excited to see the result. My best work comes when I just start cutting and sewing.
My Swap partner has much of the same taste as I do the only important difference is that I prefer a more elegant style (wanting to be the cool looking mom) and she prefers a more relaxed style. It is not the same as when you create a design for a client, then they directly choose all the colors, style and hardware. for this swap you get a basic idea of what they like, love and Hate, then you take it from there. I wish clients were that easy!
OK Photos in the next two day Promise.

A new Age of Sewing Machines? What would Granny Say?
belOga comes with a big "O", and an even bigger circular touch-screen which replaces the usual scheme of buttons and controls. This sewing machine concept was designed by Kristine Brückner, an industrial design graduate from the Munich's University of Applied Sciences with an impressive portfolio.
Apart from its less than ordinary shape, the belOga makes sewing more fun. By laying in a spool of thread the machine automatically conducts the thread through the machine - all you have to do is put the thread through the needle to get started. The centre display allows you to see what the stitch will look like in advance, this means less unpleasant stitching surprises. You can even enjoy the inner life of the belOga through two little lenses on the side of the body.
Kristine notes that the belOga is not yet in production, so feel free to drop her a message (male.diven@gmx.de) if you know anyone who is not afraid to spice up the backstage of fashion!
