The Telltale Tasha turns ONE! & a GIVEAWAY

The Telltale Tasha turns ONE today!!

 

This has been one amazing year!

I want to first thank any and everyone who has read a post, commented, shared a link or just browsed through.

I appreciate it more than you know to have people I know and don't know have a positive reaction to my ideas and creativity.

 

When I first started this blog last year, I did not know that there was such a HUGE sewing community online & around the world!

I have learned SO much from you all and appreciate all of the knowledge you share.

To think that this time last year I had no idea how to thread my machine and now I'm making entire outfits with serious techniques is absolutely overwhelming.

 

I was looking back to my first post and I am excited to say that I have not strayed too far away from my blog's original intent.

For the future, I will be adding more reconstructions though.

I have 3 trash bags full of clothes that don't fit that my mom keeps threatening to throw out lol I need to do something with them ASAP.

 

Also for the future, i plan to practice more photograpy skills and will be posting my progress here.

 

 

Thank you again for sticking around and supporting me :-)

 

And to express my gratitude I will be giving away a $25 gift card to amazon!

I wanted to give away something applicable for the sewers AND non-sewers

CPIK - Christina Carter

Remember last year when I started this "Cool People I Know" Series?

.... of course you don't, it was forever ago lol

So you can imagine how overdue this post is.

If you want to know what it's all about you can check out my first post about it here.

Anyway, people are always telling me how cute they think my blog header is.

Well let me introduce you to the designer, Christina Carter.

Christina is a full-time graphic designer.

She works for a credit union (designing) as well as does free-lance.

She went to school for it. Believe me, I know, because we were roommates lol

Not only did Christina make my blog header, but she also designed my "networking cards"

As well as the tags I now put in/on the things that I make :-D

Now that I'm wanting to expand my skills in photography, she also designed my watermark!

I didn't take this pic but just an example

So let me stop blabbing and go ahead and let her tell you about herself!

I'm a Golden Princess! - New Look 6480 & Simplicity 1427

What's the number for Disney so they can sign me?

This weekend was my grandmother's 80th birthday BASH so I wanted to wear something special.

TMS April: "Sew Double" - McCall's 6839

Well aren't I just the "Tardy Tasha"?

This is my entry for the TMS APRIL "Sew Double" sewalong.

Yes, you read that right, April lol

It's not that I didn't have it sewn.. I just didn't want to hem it.

And I didn't have anywhere to where it lol

The way I interpreted "Sew Double" was that I was going to take a pattern that I've previously sewn but instead, sew a different view.

I thought the McCalls 6839 would be the best pattern to use because the front is the same on all of the views, it's just the backs that get fancy lol

Let Me See Your Heart - McCall's 6745

" 'Cause with my family we know where home is. So instead of sendin' flowers, we the roses."

This isn't the easiest post I've ever written.

I dedicate this dress to my uncle, Richard Thompson, Sr., who we lost on May 7, 2014.

I lost my sewing mojo for a while after that day but once I started getting it back, I knew that this dress would be for him.
