Reviving the Passion Within By Laura D. Field of Davina Dawn Sewing Specialties – Feb 28, 2017 It has been awhile since I have really done much posting on Facebook or on my blog, relating to my sewing. It wasn’t that I did not “want” to, but rather I simply was not able to keep […]

Bridal & Other Formal Alterations

Published by on April 12, 2016 | Leave a response

By Laura D. Field of Davina Dawn Sewing Specialties So often those getting alterations for their formal gowns anticipate a simple tuck, a small adjustment and that all time favorite “simple” hem. What I have discovered over time, is that what aids the client in not comprehending the cost of alterations is that of some […]

Moving the Sewing Room

Published by on April 25, 2015 | Leave a response

Making a transition to the cellar has proven to provide more working, functional space. It amazes me how one adapts to their environment, regardless of where they live. I am not typically a person who likes to rearrange furniture frequently, as it is tiring, more so as I get older. Yet, as our youngest daughter […]

It has been awhile since I have shared on my blog while wanting to get back to sharing projects that I work on. After making the difficult decision to shut my business down due to personal reasons, I was able to focus on my family as well as myself, while taking this necessary break. I was […]

My daughter Heather did all the cross stitching while my husband created the frame, which compliments the delicate features of Heathers hand stitching. I love it when family members join together to create something beautiful for a family member. ~ Laura

Cross Stitch & Custom Frame – Family Giving

Repairing a Knit Scarf

Published by on November 13, 2014 | Leave a response

Sometimes while out shopping, more so in the thrift stores, we will find something that catches our eye. Being a seamstress, I do tend to look for flaws that might be in the item, such as broken zippers, missing buttons, tears and snags, ripped seams, etc. For the most part I can catch them and […]

Dyeing for Change

Published by on September 6, 2014 | 2 Responses

  We can so easily toss an item, due to a stain, a rip, or any imperfection that could be fixed. Sometimes we find a second hand article of clothing or home decor that just needs a little TLC, or when we bring it home, we discover that that it needs more than a simple […]

Leftover Fabric Makes for a Great Tote

Published by on August 29, 2014 | Leave a response

My previous post A Cushion for Fishing provided me with a great piece of leftover fabric, along with a few smaller pieces as well. I toyed with the idea of making another cushion, but decided that I really did not want to invest in another piece of foam, creating something that probably would not get used […]

Living Room Feather Pillow Re-make

Published by on August 21, 2014 | Leave a response

I’ve never had a feather pillow before, and the only person I knew that really enjoyed them was my son-in-law. Yet, prior to the holidays last year, my friend was going to throw hers out, then decided that it was possible that I could make a new pillow out of it. The outer fabric had […]
