a new blog

So I decided to start a new blog.  A blog about sewing. I was at barnes and noble the other day and I came across this book...One Yard Wonders: 101 Sewing Projects. I thought oooh this looks fun, and I have a ton of fabric upstairs just sitting there. So, I am going to kill 2 birds with 1 stone--I will declutter my fabric stash and I will make some pretty cool things while I'm at it.  I thought it would be really cool to blog my journey through this book.  I intend to make at least 1 of everything that there is a pattern.
When I went onto Amazon to order the book last night, I noticed that it was rated 4 stars.   I wondered why it wasn't a full 5, but decided I didn't want to read the bad reviews.   I usually only read bad reviews when I am trying to talk myself out of buying something.  Then I started thinking...and then I read the bad reviews. I am so glad I did.  In reading the bad reviews, I noticed people were complaining about how the pattern was written, how confusing certain projects were, or how things didn't match up.  It gave me a great idea. I am not a professional seamstress, but I can make things work.  I figure when I get to a part, that one may find confusing, or doesn't match up quite right, I will give my helpful hints on how I made it work.  The bad reviews actually gave me an idea to, hopefully help someone who reads this blog.
In this journey, I plan to share about my experiences and thoughts on making each thing. I hope you like it :)
