I am live in New Jersey and acquired an interest for hobbies such as knitting and sewing because of the creativity and wanting to make my own clothes.  I created a blog discussing my hobby journeys and managed to meet some very interesting people in the process.  I discovered this website through a blog I was reading about getting out an oil stain of clothing and thought it was worth visiting.  I was right.  I like do it yourself projects as it gives me an creative outlet and practicality of saving money.  However, there is sense of satisfaction in making something for yourself.  I am a fiend for craft magazines.
