Workspace at home and how times change.
















My husband refinished a rolltop desk for my home workspace years ago when we got married. I used it, but after the advent of home computers it wasn't practical. So he built me a box to house my bulky computer terminal, keyboard and printer. Now that I have the "new" sewing cabinet in my small sewing studio I no longer had a computer space. This week using the drawers for extra space and Moda's Pumpkins Gone Wild designed by Sandy Gervais; I customized the old roll top to accommodate my laptop.

Thrift store finds


I love a visit to the thrifts stores in Kerrville, Texas. They have more resale shops than any other town of that size I've ever been too. I found lots of great vintage fabrics and lucked out finding a ruffler and a side cutter II attachment. A side cutter cuts off the excess fabric and allows you to finish seams with you machines zigzag or overlock stitch.
