So here is my revisiting to blogging from a short stint six or so years ago. Yes, that's right folks a new and improved Betsy is at it again and is here to ramble on about life in Betsyland: recipes, relationships, sewing, natural health, life in the midwest, random ideas, ramblings, and a few dreams to top it off.
I know am growing into a different part of myself, the creative, expressive part I suppose. With the onset of my bout with mono a few months ago I returned to sewing after many years of dust gathering on my skills. I never did feel confident sewing, but I'm taking another stab at it, and I think that has also led me here.
I have a secret goal in mind... to sew my wedding dress. Ok so maybe it's not so secret anymore, but you understand right? A girls gotta tell somebody. This whole sewing my future dress (or maybe it'll be a sassy pants suit, who knows!) requires a lot of practice on many projects before I could ever feel confident taking on such a major public display of my work.
I have to say, I think I can do it. After reviewing a bunch of books from the library on sewing like a sample maker and custom sewn wedding dresses, I have gotten a little more fluency down with the lingo. French seam, Hong Kong seam, boning, lining, underlining, facing, interfacing, serge, sew, overlock... woof.
