Welcome to my blog! I'm a young seamstress. I've started this to sort of catalog my projects. I'm also hoping to post tutorials, pattern reviews, etc. I've been sewing since I was 4 years old. I sew all kinds of things although I do prefer historical items. :) I've been attending civil war reenactments for the last 4 years. I have my own esty shop: www.stitchesofthepast.etsy.com I've also sewn children's clothes for Originals By Kay
Thanks so much for visiting! Please check back soon for more posts. :)
Sincerely,
Brooke
Looking good, Brooke! Will book mark for future reading pleasure :)

Brooke, I am so delighted to have visited your blog and I am so eagerly looking forward to having it on my favorites list now and seeing many posts from you in the future!
ReplyDeleteI love using my blog as as sort of catalog for my projects too. It is nice to have everything in a post, with pictures and info, so I can go back and reference later if need be. I've done that SO often!
I love this picture of you as well. What a pretty young woman you are growing to be!
Wow!!! Love the blog! Now I'll be checking yours every 5 minutes to see if you've posted! :)
ReplyDeleteWe are picking green beans today in this horribly hot, steamy weather. My helpers are getting tired... :(
Keep up the good posting!
~Sarah~
P.S.
Hopefully we can do my dress soon and u can post it on here too! :)
Also, how do you get your etsy shop to be on the side of your blog like that? I just posted a link of mine. How did you get all the items to display?

Brooke, lovely blog! The idea of a way to catalog your sewing projects is an excellent one, time fades memories but this will make a permanent record. I love the chemise you wrote about, it is so lovely and feminine. :-) I'm looking forward to seeing more posts on future projects, you will inspire me to get sewing more!

Thanks, Jordan! Your advice on the S&S was wonderful. :)
ReplyDeleteSarah, thanks so much for your lovely comment. :) I'm glad to know you also use your blog to catalog things. Recently I've been wanting to copy some things I've made in the past and I can't seem to remember any details them. :S So I thought this would be a great way to remember. lol
'Cherise', thanks for commenting hun. :) You know how much I love comments... lol :P Did you get alot of beans? I wish I could be there to help ya. :) We definately need to start on your dress. Its going to be so beautiful! I'll make it a goal to get the pattern ready today. :)
About getting your etsy shop items to show up.....go to 'Your Account". Then on the left side of the page in the menu towards the bottom under 'Promote'. There's a link that says Etsy Mini. Click on that. Then make your mini. Select 'Items From my shop'. Then choose how many columns and rows you want. Mine is 1 column and 5 rows. Below there is a box with a code for the JavaScript version. You'll copy that. Then go over to your dash board. Click on Design. Add A Gadget. Add the one called HTML/JavaScript. Then it will bring up a window in which you'll paste the code and click save. And it should show up. If you can't get it to work. Let me know and I'll see what I can do. :)
Love,
Brooke
Mrs. G, thank ever so much. :) I'm hoping I can get the hang of writing. I'm quite awkward at it, but I'm hoping after a few more posts I'll become a natural at it. :D
