Hello, my name is Donna. I live in Chico, California with an awesome man and our beautiful, intelligent college junior, Stevie.
I have been sewing since I was about 7. I too love to sew my own clothes (except jeans and underclothing). I just organized my sewing room and it feels wonderful. I have a tons of fabric I want to use.
My daughter loves vintage clothes (She realized that Mom sewing for her is a great thing!). I recently made her Butterick 4790, in green gingham and vintage buttons, pictured here:
I also made her prom dress 2 years ago, I am particularly proud of it, the dress and purse took about 3 weeks to make. It is Butterick 4212, in red iridescent taffeta, black trim and fringe, hand sewn beads and a purse to match. (And a very cute date!)
I also enjoy making jewelry and ceramics. I am new to blogging, HTML is a very foreign language to me! (I have figured out how to post pictures!) My infant blog is www.lavenderlunalady.blogspot.com/. I first set it up to communicate with my family in Simi Valley, California, where I am from originally.
This is my first internet participation, and I am looking forward to the input and support of all my fellow participants.
