A new era for Heather's Hemmings-
2025 has been an interesting year for us. It started out with a huge need and a gofundme campaign that several of you contributed to. 2 more surgeries for my husband and me looking for a job. Needless to say being able to pattern test was nonexistent and my creative heart hurt.
Now fast forward to now. Husband is recovering well- he is driving!!! I found a new job working at a local historical park- Calico Ghost Town- at the Candle Shop. So every day I get to dress in 1880's period outfits- but they didn't have any on hand that fit me so........I dusted off my sewing machine and serger, got some material and a pattern and went to work.
So now I sew for me. I received a box of fabric from my mom that I have been able to transform into a dress, 4 tops, and 4 skirts.
While I don't get to crochet much anymore I am so very thankful for the relationships that this fiber community creates. Because of those relationships we received financial help when we needed it most and I am so very grateful.
Life is very different for us here at Heather's Hemmings. We are focusing on the sewing aspect of my creative side. Posts will be fewer than before but I am still here admiring all the new patterns and projects you all share.
Thank you to all the designers that chose me to be a part of their testing team. I enjoyed every pattern.
Here's to new adventures!
