Blogging Struggles are real...

It has really been way too long since I added anything to this Blog site.  I have been toying with using another vendor (Constant Contact or MailChimp, or ??) and have just not landed on just the right solution.   So...nothing has been added. Your suggestions are always appreciated! 

Instagram Friends...

Instagram is such an amazing way to connect with all things sewing - I can follow new patterns, challenges, watch what you all are making - pretty much everything!

I have found that I am also making new "friends" that hold a piece of my heart!  I know, are they REAL friends or IG friends - it does not matter they are my friends!
 
Check out this YouTube video and you tell me that we are not friends -

We have also expanded to include more of other designers patterns - the goal is to be able to share all the newest collections, while providing you access to paper patterns from your longtime favorites.   Let us know if there is a Indie designer that you would like us to carry! 

Sewing Gifts...

Around the Holidays I added a new Category to the Studio - it is called "Sewing Gifts". 

Check them out here...
Sewing Gifts

If you have not noticed it, check it out with the above link. 

There are fun cards, hand-made buttons, sewing snips, labels, etc.  
These are all fun things to surround yourself with or grab to share a quick pick me up for a sewing friend.  

Shopping with friends...

I had a fun shopping day in Los Angeles a couple of
weeks ago with some sewing besties. 

NOW - all of the spring and summer fabrics are arriving!  I could not be more excited to share these with you.   I will be releasing them in groups - you will see similar fabric types and colors in each release.  I hope you love these as much as I do. 

Here is a sneak peek at just a FEW...

Summer Sewing...

Do you sew more or less in the Summer? 

It seems with the longer days I should get more out of each day, right?  It seems I am always feeling like my "to do" list is longer than the hours I have!

  Am I alone in this struggle?  

Happy sewing to you - follow us on Instagram @pdxsewingstudio, Facebook - Sewing Studio, and Pinterest - Sewing Studio.
