About Me

  I  always knew I would grow old one day, just didn't know then how difficult it was going to be to do it gracefully, but at the age of sixty-five, I keep trying and I learn something new every day!!

I live in a small city in the Mid-eastern part of Tennessee with my wonderful husband.

I have five grown children and two grown stepchildren.  They are all terrific kids and I love them all dearly.  Together they have given me thirteen grandchildren.   Most of them live in other cities, and I never seem to see them as often as I would like or as long as I would like.


I am trying to fill my empty nest with lots of "made with love" projects and really wish I had not waited so long to start sewing again.  I can't believe how much things have changed in the last 15 or so years since I hung up my needle and thread, got rid of all my sewing "stuff" and entered into a life of not sewing.  I am having to learn some new techniques and relearn quite a few things that once were so easy for me.  I hope you will enjoy following along as I retrace old steps and take a few new ones along the way.

I am no professional, although in the past I have sewn for others and taken more classes than you can shake a stick at.   Please check back often and be patient with this old lady trying to learn new tricks.

Happy Sewing!

Hi Glo! I think it is so amazing that you're pursuing your passion. It is never too late! Sewing is a skill I always wished I possessed... guess I will just live vicariously through you :) Hope you are having a glorious day.

Happy New Year From Glo Sews!

Midnight is approaching and as I ready myself for a brand new year, I can't help but reflect on the year that is quickly coming to an end!  It has been a wonderful year here at Glo Sews.  I have learned so much over the past six months and made so many wonderful blogging friends!  Thanks to all of you that have made me so happy by your many comments and by reaching out to me in friendship!  I know that 2012 will be even better! I have several favorite posts this year, I guess one of my very favorite would be the very first one that started it all off.   Sewing Again  explained a lot about me and where I have been and where I hope to go!   Shirred Dresses  covered a technique I yearned to try years ago but could never find the time.  Oh, how much fun that was, it was a long time dream just to try it and I really fell in love with the technique and the dresses I made!   Fit For A Princess  was another fun project.  I made a...
