the Ws: my mamma made it


With my old/new found love of sewing, I was extremely excited when I found out my friend Alyssa took up sewing recently. Which means, another sewer to share resources with (although I'm not really sure what I've shared with her, except excitement.) Well, to make this a shorter story, she blogged about the blog "My Mamma Made it!"  and I love it! Voici this week's W! 

What I love about the author, Alexis, of the blog and the blog itself , is though she has quite a few readers and does custom orders, the blog is not a business or for publicity, it is just a really great resource that she has created. A resource for other sewers - people like me, who don't exactly know what they're doing yet or just want fun ideas. 

A portion of her blog is new designs she has created, however, a large portion is posts on "refashions." In other words, she takes old clothes she already owns and then adds or tailors them into new fashionable pieces. Can you say fabulous? 

One of the best things about the blog is that she loves Anthropologie, which means lots of cute clothes with Anthro inspired style, which means my kind of clothes. If you don't like sewing, at least check out how amazing some of her ideas are and be inspired to do something else crafty! 

Sew fun!
