Hi and welcome to my corner of the internet! My name is Trissa and I’m a desert girl who loves to sew. I’m also a Seint Makeup Artist and I love helping women look at feel beautiful! I’m a single mama of 2 crazy munchkins, along with our cockapoo names Bella. Life has its ups and downs but it makes us who we are today.
Life is your greatest adventure
I love to sew. I am a self taught sewist and have been sewing for more than 8 years! Most of what you will find on my blog is sewing related. I bought my first sewing machine a few months after I got married for my birthday in March. Let’s just say my first few sewing projects were not the greatest…I’m so glad I have improved since then… nonetheless, I kept on going. Later that year for Christmas, I got my first serger and boy was that a game changer! (If you sew with knits, a serger is a must have. You can find some good ones second hand. That’s what I did!) The following year, I welcomed a coverstitch machine, which also was a game changer.
Everyone has different body types and stores typically don’t make clothes tailored to each of our different bodies. This is why I sew! Come take a swing at it! It’s super fun and very rewarding!
I’ve made many makes and started testing patterns for a handful of sewing companies. I love it and I will do my best to share my sewing adventures with you as well as some tips and tricks I have learned along the way.
I discovered the best.makeup.ever. If you haven’t tried Seint’s IIID foundation yet, you don’t know what your face is missing! It’s quick, simple and will easily change your whole makeup routine. I’ve been a Seint Artist for a little over 2 years now and I still absolutely love it. You can check it out here as well as on my instagram. If you want to join my VIP beauty group, you can do so here.
I also attempt a few crafts here and there and will occasionally share a recipe that I absolutely love.
Outside of sewing and crafting, I love to country dance, ceramics, lift heavy things, gardening, and making tons of messes.
Join me in my sporadic little life. <3
Cheers!
