I am teaching this weekend and my beginner bra class consists of "only" 4 students. But the four are sisters - on a girls weekend away from home doing what they love to do. Sew. The sisters seem to have a fabulous collective sense of humour as illustrated by the following prank.

When I was younger, my mother would get all excited about the day after a snowfall. If it snowed hard, the kids would be home from school, under mom's feet. It wasn't that day that mom looked forward to. No, sir.
What my mother liked about the Snowfall-Boxing-Day was that...

I don't usually get too fired up about Christmas, but this year I was kind of wanting to do something special with the door to our shop. The door is not particularly exciting on its own, and the suite across from us hung small red bells all around the door, so we looked kind of lame by compari...

Blog readers might want to know about the upcoming Boot Camps. Yes, we were going to call it Boob Camp, (hilarious, isn't it?) but then the politically correct version of me took over and decided to tone the name down a bit.

One of my students sent me this Cowboy poem. I loved it!
I believe you could sing it around a campfire if you had a guitar strumming along….
I ain't much for shopping,
Or for goin' into town
Except at cattle-shipping time,
I ain't too easily found.
But the day came ...

Years ago, I worked for a decorative embroidery thread company (Sulky) doing educational seminars all over Canada. I was, in Sue Hausmann’s words, an “edu-tainer”. I used to use the phrase, “if I were stranded on a desert island….” and then I would go o...

After the last post, I went looking for some bras made from relatively "normal" materials, and I found just what I was looking for at this site. The group responsible for these lovely Artbras is The Way to Women's Wellness. Since this is a fund-raising collection and not a wearable art...

Who needs fabric to make a bra? I've just found lots of different materials to cover yourself and make a fashion statement at the same time.
How about a bra made from plastic bags or a bra made from candy? This one gem has matching panties (knickers) and garter belt (suspender belt)
If you...

I am back from the monastery where I had a wonderful 10 days sharing the joys of bra-making with Saskatchewan women. There were over 95 women at the Stitches conference, including some 28 who arrived on a bus from British Columbia. The conference always has interesting and talented teachers includin...
