Reviving the Passion Within

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Christmas Dolls – TLC Doll-Makeover

Published by on November 26, 2013 | Leave a response

  One of my friends called me a few weeks back asking if I might be able to provide a little TLC for some dolls that she found at a yard sale, which made her think of her two young granddaughters. It was an honor to be called for this request, and certainly brought back […]

"Sewing along with the ups & downs of constant motion, even in sewing, we get physical exercise." ~ Laura D. Field - Seams To Me Blogging Davina Dawn Sewing Specialties ~ Putting Thread to Fabric ~

Physical Sewing Exercise

Published by on November 22, 2013 | Leave a response

One would think that as I sit back and sew projects, that one would get “soft” with the lack of exercise.  Fortunately, for me, I have noticed more frequently how often I am moving, and with every move there is a motion of exercise that aids in one keeping in shape.  Don’t mistake this as […]

DIY Sewing Project in Fifteen Minutes?

Published by on October 22, 2013 | Leave a response

Throughout the week I receive a variety of emails that relate to sewing projects.  As of late it seems that more and more creative people are posting all their projects with the time in which the project will take.  In some cases I am a little curious as to whether their clock stopped working mid-way […]

Creating a Zippered Bracelet

Published by on September 9, 2013 | Leave a response

A seamstress tends to either accumulate scraps that I personally have used to patch and repair, but sometimes there is that one odd item that is generally tossed.  Well, today I had the ends of a zipper that I was about to toss when I remembered how popular the “zipper” look is with the younger […]

Custom Built Storage for Buttons

Published by on September 1, 2013 | Leave a response

As shared in a previous post, I am most fortunate to have a husband who is skilled in the craft of woodworking.  One of the storage units he created for me this past winter, after the busy holidays were over, was a storage unit for my buttons.  It might seem crazy for some, but after […]

Crafting Some Storage for Notions

Published by on August 14, 2013 | Leave a response

  The advantage of being married to a man who enjoys woodworking and carpentry, is that you get to enjoy his ability make useful items for the house and family, along with those moments when I can request specific organizational items for my sewing room.  We are both perfectionists in what we do and what […]
