Freedom and Stitches

At the moment, this is mostly a sewing blog, including my sewing both for home and family and for my ebay customers. In future, it may also include freedom-oriented articles that I write.

The first picture is a cool lime green silk shantung. Due to the size of the piece of fabric I have, this will only make a suitable sling for a person whose shoulder-to-opposite-hip meansurement is 24 inches or less.

The second picture is a dark green silk satin, with a print of small squares in lighter green and pink. I have several pieces of silk satin, and they are just luscious!

Fourthly, we have a truly unique fabric--a cream colored dupioni, boldly printed with dark green stripes and bunches of purple grapes.

Picture five is a sling that is already made. It is a very smooth, pretty cream dupioni, and will fit someone whose measurement from one shoulder to the opposite hip is no more than 21 inches.

Picture six shows a yummy pastel plaid taffeta. This fabric will make a lovely sling for someone who measures 23 inches or less from one shoulder to the opposite hip.

Our ninth picture is just the thing for horse lovers, or those that like the western look--dark green silk charmeuse, printed with stirrups, straps, and buckles--lots of fun for the right person!

We also have a couple of pieces of linen that will make beautiful, soft, pouch slings. The first, picture ten, is a cream-colored linen, with flowers printed on it in black--beautiful with dressy clothes and casual!

Our second linen, depicted in the eleventh photo, is a fun and funky patchwork print in green, blue, brown, yellow, and white--just great with your summer and fall casual clothes!
