My room, My space, My stuff

Just wanted to share an up-date on my sewing room.  As you know from previous post, I consider this to be my room! My space!

Well sure.....Hubby Honey can go in there...you know, to iron, do laundry, etc! HA!

Anyway. It had gotten disorganized and cluttered once again and needed some cleaning and sprucing up!

Out comes the pushpins and an old Suzy Toronto 2011 calendar.  My sister-in-law began giving me these calendars in 2011 and I love them! Of all the gifts she has given me these are among my favorite and I look forward each year to the new one! ( Thanks again Lisa). They are great calendars and a lot of fun to have and read. So, I save mine. I took this one apart and began to "paper" some of the blank sections of wall space in my sewing room!

I'm sure that if a Design Diva came into my room her eyes would bug out! She would be aghast at the "not so technical" way of decorating and the "pushpin way" of hanging art!!!!

Point is...who cares?
I don't!
Once again, "My room, My space, My stuff" !

And it makes me...sew very happy!

If you have a room or space that's yours..."make yourself happy"!

Bags, Integrity and Pellon

I want each bag I make to be unique, cute, useful and long lasting! Over the course of time I've tried different interfacing products and settled in with Pellon #809 as my favorite!  I love this product and have never had any problems with it. Until, the holiday rush, crunch time and two more bags to make.  I started on a new bolt of interfacing and it was a bad bolt. (Actually...17 yrds...bought from Hancocks...almost a full bolt) Nothing I could do would get it to adhere to the fabric properly. I had to halt bag production....not a happy camper here!!!!!  I was so frustrated, aggravated, and just plain mad!  I'm over a one hour drive to the Hancocks that the purchase came from and I've never had really good experiences with their return policies. So....I pondered and then pondered some more on what to do.

Finally....AH HA!  I will do what my younger sister always does....call the Pellon Company and complain....what's it going to hurt!  Turns out....it helped! A LOT!  The woman I spoke to, Michelle, was so very nice and helpful. Asked me a few questions, took information and mailed me a brand new bolt of Pellon.  Not the 17 yards I bought, but a full 25 yard bolt! And it works...GREAT!  So happy to be back in business.  Thank you Pellon for standing behind your product and taking care of your customers.

I continue to love my hobby and how about a cheer for ...
" Pellon, old clothes, vintage fabric and the people who consider some things trash"!
