Who taught you how to sew? Necessity is the Mother!

Sewing Boot Camp

Hello Again!

I love it when I get to bring Lori and Karla in to Westlake to meet me for our pre-taping BTS Sewing Boot Camp (sometimes called our Sweat Shop!!).

The three of us got together to work on projects for the upcoming taping.  We find that we come up with much more creative ideas when all 3 of us put our heads together - I'm sure you come up with your best ideas with a little help from your friends!  We had a blast - it's always long hours with lots of sewing, but never feels like work because the three of us really are great friends.  We each have a slightly different role... Lori is our analyzer.  We joke that she is slightly compulsive because no detail goes without being attended to when you are working with Lori!  Karla is our problem solver.  When Lori and I get wrapped up in a project not working quite as planned, Karla always comes up with a quick solution.  My role??  What ever they tell me to do!!  Really, I'm busy coordinating ideas with the girls and our guests, developing and organizing content for the show.  Then, I just let Karla and Lori bounce ideas off of me and do what ever they ask!! 

Here is a sneak preview of a couple of projects in the works...

Again, just the beginning of a few projects, but I think you'll have a lot of fun with all of them!

Ok, so a picture of us worn out toward the end of the week...

Yes, I know, not quite as fabulous looking as we are on set.  This is us with out enough sleep or the help of Kylee, our fabulous BTS makeup artist!!  What do you think of my new glasses??

Back to work now, hope you have had a chance to sew with your girlfriends lately!  Time spent together certainly does wonders for the creative soul!
