My name is Becky and this is my blog about random, but mostly fashion-related things.
What you probably need to know is that I’ve been sewing since I was 5 and am currently loving my day job of designing for a local Seattle company. I also love to read, bake, watch terrible rom com’s, and I am always, always trying to be funny. Even if you’re not amused, trust me when I say the attempt was made. (I aim for a 20% success rate.) I still try and find time to sew things for myself, but as you’ll discover with the lack of sewing-related posts, those moments seem to be few and far between these days.
What you should also know is that my posts may contain some affiliate marketing links – this means if you click on a link and make a purchase, I might get a commission. It by no means is keeping me from needing my day job. But if you’re cool with it, then I am too.
If you have any questions or juicy gossip, you should definitely email me - ohreallybecky@gmail.com.

Hi. I’m also in Oregon and was wondering if you sell your stuff in any stores? I’d love to see some of it in person. Your clothing is absolutely gorgeous. As a very basic sewer I really appreciate your perfectly tailored your stuff looks! Just amazing.
Hello! Thank you so much.
At the moment, nothing is for sale in stores – just on Etsy. I’m thinking about going that route though, and will definitely post if/when it happens!
Hey Becky,
I am considering purchasing a sewing machine to hem pants and do small projects. I need something compact/easy to store. Have any ideas for me in terms of brands and how much I should expect to pay? Pretty sure I am gonna go the Craigslist route. Keep up the good work, I love your blog. Good luck being back in Seattle!!

Hey Amanda! Thanks so much.
I started out with a very simple Pfaff that I got when I was 18 and still occasionally use now. That baby has had some serious miles put on it and I would definitely recommend the brand. I have a Baby Lock right now that I love, but it’s a much more complex machine. I’ve heard nothing but good things about Janome and Bernina too.
Hope this helps and keep me posted on what you end up buying!
Becky!
Thanks for the help. I ended up talking to my mom about it at length and she has an old baby serger she has had forever that she is going to give me! I love free things. I just have to figure out how to get the thing to San Diego
. I will let you know what I end up creating if they are good enough for public viewing 
.
Thanks for the inspiration and great site!

Hi friend,
