Praise Garments

Not a resolution but a strategy.  Here's what I'm thinking: I set a monthly budget of $100 One hundred dollars is the maximum I can spend each month for any and all sewing/crafting related stu...

I purchased this pattern as soon as it was released, and I was too excited to find this Sew Along. So maybe....just maybe I will actually complete this one since I had already planned to make th...

I like most Tracy Reese designs for Vogue, and #1405 is no exception. I like the fit and flare style of the dress; I like my fabric choice and I like the way it moves with me when I move. But I g...

I have been wanting to make a cape for quite some time now.  As usual, I am late to jump on the cape-making bandwagon.  I made the very popular Simplicity 1775.  This a very quick and easy pa...

I joined the Make a Garment a Month Challenge back in November and have successfully completed at least one garment every month since that time. Yay me!!!!  But herein lies the problem.....I app...

Yeah, one in a row is a roll (for me anyway). I was successful with the Fall Essentials Sew Along, completing nearly five pieces, I am ready for another challenge. Therefore, I am joining ...

I joined a sew-and I am actually sewing along.  I mean, I have joined several sew-along, but I do believe that is the first time I actually complete some stuff during the suggested window of tim...

Here I am after quite some time.  I am gearing up for a much more active 2013.  I am starting the year off by participating in my very first sew-along.  I am going to do a bra sew-along and I ...

maybe it's got hold of me. It's one of those crazy iPads. I saw somebody with one at work and I thought it looked interesting (or more like intriguing). So I said to myself, "I think I would...

Wow! I can hardly believe it has been nearly two years since I posted anything. I am going to just write as if somebody out there remembers me and will bother to read this blog. A lot has happen...

I have been sewing quite a bit - but have been slacking in the photo department. In fact I completed several UFOs but never got around to taking any photos so I didn't submit them in the UFO cont...

I hope everyone enjoyed Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. It has been so cold here for the past few days that I have just stayed inside, except for extreme emergency like picking up the grandkids - t...

That's what I'm asking myself. Firstly, Happy New Year to everyone - let's make this one better than ever. I have been very busy since I last posted (which has been quite some time). I have be...

http://tcusic-praisegarments.blogspot.com/2009/01/where-have-i-been.html

I cannot believe it has been over two months since I last posted anything. I know, I know, I say that everytime I am away for over two months. And unfortunately, I don't have much to show today e...

I know! I know! I said I was going to be more consistent with my posts, and two weeks have passed since I last posted - but it wasn't my fault. I was out of town on business all of last week and ...

http://tcusic-praisegarments.blogspot.com/2008/07/my-first-burda.html

I don't have much to report today, but I don't want to let too many days go by without posting something. I have learned that three or four days can easily turn into two months of no posts. I wa...

Yes, it's true I have a brand new "baby". Weighing in at about 40 pounds and approximately 30" long she is quite an armful. I took the plunge and purchased the brand new Viking Designer Diamond. ...

I got my new Amy Butler fabric in the mail over the weekend. I really like it. I think it will be perfect for my Kimberly bag. I also think I have enough fabric to make a skirt too. I have be...

I have been extremely busy for the last few months. As I mentioned earlier I got a "huge" promotion at work and I have been in extensive training sessions. This new position will require a ginorm...

My digital camera has not been cooperating lately. But honestly, that's not the only reason I don't have any photos to post today, it's really because I don't have anything interesting to share y...

My BFF's granddaughter absolutely adores Dora the Explorer. So I made her an overnight set for her birthday. This is a small bag with a quilted bottom and a twin/full size pillow case. I a...

I can't believe how long it's been since I've posted. And sadly, I don't have much to show for my absence. I have been very busy at work - as a matter of fact I have gotten a huge promotion and w...

I can't believe it's been over three weeks since I've posted anything. Unfortunately, I don't have any photos today, but I did want to take a few minutes to send hopes of a wonderful and prospero...
