My introduction

Hello everyone.  I am excited to have the opportunity to participate in this forum.  I go by dkswife, and do have a blog where I post about my sewing, and a few other things I have going on.

I have been sewing since I was a very small child (think 3 or 4 years old), and have always enjoyed it.  My goal is to make most all of my clothing.  I do this by either buying fabric, or refashioning garments.  I do not enjoy shopping for clothing unless it is thrift store items that can be refashioned.   Where I live, we do not have the mega thrift stores like some areas do, but there are several smaller ones, so I pop tags at several locations :)

My husband and I have a small farm that he manages, and I do work outside the home.  My job calls for fairly dressy attire, so it makes sewing that much more fun for me.  I love all the finishing details in sewing.  To me, that kicks the garments up a notch, and makes for a much more professional appearance.

Well, I will stop chattering, and will make my first garment post in the next day or two.

I look forward to seeing all the refashioning!

Blessings!
