Fashion blogs...style blogs.... The names don't really matter. I love them all. They keep me up to speed on what's hot and what's not - a must for keeping our boutique stock with the trendiest and most up to date fashion.

So being from the Northeast, staying warm is pretty important to us as we sometimes feel that summer lasts for about a week and a half. That is a slight weather exaggeration, but not so much!

If you haven't tried our Diana cotton tights, which are new this fall, you definitely should! Super warm, not overly thick, and unbelievable quality. But if that isn't enough, let your fashion sense guide you as we have brand new colors available, forest green, a really pretty darker green, winter white and navy blue. That is in addition to our basic colors of midnight black, charcoal grey and espresso brown. Diana cotton tights are a unique combination of cotton yarn, bamboo yarn (don't let that scare you, bamboo is the new fiber everyone is using in everything from luxury sheets to clothing because it is eco-friendly, and it dyes extremely well with beautiful intense color, and it is ultra soft) It truly feels like the softest cotton tights you have ever experienced. Ultra rich in color, toasty warm and they will last for many years with the proper care. Click here for cotton tights info.

Let’s not sugar coat anything here – blogging is hard work.

And if you truly do want to start a fashion blog you are entering a niche that is so crowded and cramped you will struggle to even find room to breathe.

The same goes for blogs about blogging, travel blogs, music blogs, sport blogs and probably sexy ones.

The competition and the noise is endless.

But there is good news and that is that 95% of those blogs really suck.

I mean they REALLY suck.

Hello, I liked your blog, I think you have a really unique way of writing your posts and captivated me to read more posts, continue the awesome work! <3
If you don't mind would be nice if you checked mine, maybe you will like also!

00: This stitch is the moveable straight stitch, meaning by altering the "stitch width" on your sewing machine, you can move the needle. It's default needle position is the far left. This is the stitch you will use the most often for just about everything. 01: This is the centerised straight stitch. It is like a safety straight stitch for sewing zips so that you don't hit the zipper foot. It cannot be moved. 02: This is the Triple Straight Stitch, also called the backstitch, stretch stitch, triple stretch stitch, and probably some other names as well. It made by the needle going two stitches forward and one stitch back. This makes a stronger seam which some people like to use for crutch seams and armscyes. It is also great for sewing stretch fabrics because it doesn't snap like an ordinary straight stitch can (when stretched). You can use it for top-stitching as well if you like. 03: This is the stretch stitch and is also called a lightning stitch. It's a very narrow zigzag. It's supposed to give stretch seams that can be pressed open, but I much prefer stitch 02 for that. I'm not a big fan of this stitch. 04: Ah the zigzag stitch. Stitch of a myriad uses. Neatening raw edges is the most common use. Satin Stitching (length 0.2-0.3mm). Appliqué. Stretch sewing (length normal, width 0.2 or so). Bar-tacks. Very manual buttonholes (if you have an automatic buttonhole, do use it). Satin Stitch in free motion stitching (great for monograms). You can probably add some more uses. 05: The triple zigzag stitch, this has several names as well, but as long as you can see what it is, you'll be fine. Its primary uses are neatening raw edges (especially fabrics that fray badly) and sewing elastic. But as each step counts as a stitch, you can make really long zig zags. 06: Overcasting stitch. This can be used for seaming knits, neatening edges, and making picot edges and shell-tucks. 07: Strong overlocking stitch. Like its friends, this has many names and I don't know them all (who could?) It's used for seaming and neatening at the same time. 08: Same as 07 but it looks different, and the straight stitches are more reliably close together. 09: Blind-hem stitch. It don't think you'll find a machine less than 50 years old without this stitch. Its use is blind-hemming. 10: Stretch Blind-hem stitch. Same as 09 but for stretch fabrics. 11: Appliqué stitch/Blanket Stitch. This is used to sew appliqués and replicate a hand-sewn blanket stitch. It really looks very nice. 12: Shell-tuck stitch. Used with the satin-stitch foot, this makes even nicer shell-tucks than stitch 06. 13: Scallop Stitch. This is used to make decorative edges. First you stablize the edge (preferably hemmed) and then you cut very carefully round the outer edge of the scallop. I suppose if you wanted, you could sew it with the pointed edge towards the edge, and have a pointy edge like a batswing. 14: Ladder stitch: This is used to make channels for elastic and ribbon. 15: Overlocking stitch: This is made to look like an overlocker/serger stitch. It is used for seams, but you can also use it to make channels as with 14. 16: This stitch is for sewing on elastic, like 05. You can also use it for faggoting. 17: This stitch is also used for faggoting, and decorative stitching. 18: Much like 17. 19: This is used for sewing channels too. 20: RicRac stitch. Also ambiguously called triple zigzag stitch. It looks much nicer when sewing than the picture would lead you to believe. It is used for decorative stitching.
