Hello all!! I know it’s been awhile since I’ve posted anything. My apologies!! Sickness has come to my home and I feel like a pile of hot garbage. But I am working on some awesome things to show you guys!

Thanks Santa!!!

I have been dreaming of a serger of my very own since I got to use That’s Sew Amy’s, to say that I’m pumped is to make a gross understatement.  My momma was wise and kind enough to get me a selection of thread cones in all my favorite shades, in addition to my lovely Brother 1034d machine.  The Joann gift card from my aunt doesn’t hurt, either.  And how cute is that clock!?!

I've got this.

And we’re ready to sew some seams!   Unfortunately, Albus Severus isn’t such a big fan of this plan, as per the usual.

Since the boy is demanding walks and cuddles, it seems unlikely I’ll have a finished garment to post today. However, I think I’ve maybe, possibly, perhaps picked my next project.  I imagine I’ll change my mind, though, seems like I always do.  Does anyone else have this problem??? I just want to make everything, right now.  For now, though, this will be the next garment.

Happy sewing, everyone!!  My apologies for the rambling post.

Hi!  Welcome to Sewn by Ashley.  I am 29 (yikes!) sewing out of Hamilton, Ohio.  About two years ago, when I couldn’t find the perfect dress to wear to a friend’s wedding, I thought, fuck it, I’ll make one.  After not having sewn for over decade.  So I might possibly be insane?

First dress picture with the bride!  That fit, yowza!

Insane or not, I was hooked on sewing.  Sewing for me is a bit of a comedy of errors, but I hope to be able to provide some trial and error tips for other sewist (sewers?  I dunno.)  I’ll be posting patterns I’ve done, tips, random freebies, awesome fabrics, and who knows what else.  At the very least, I hope you find it entertaining 🙂
