Welcome!

Hello and welcome to my blog!  I haven't started, and then promptly forgotten about a blog in years, so I thought it was high time I start again!

Let me start off by introducing myself: My name is Rachel.  I am a long time lover of all things crafty.  I have been a knitter for 10+ years and a seamstress for just shy of a year, but it has quickly become an obsession of mine.

The reason I have decided to start this blog is to have a platform for showing off and discussing my makes; be they sewing, knitting, or anything else I just feel like talking about in length.

I decided to name this blog "No Tags and Zigzags" because those are the two features you only see in handmade clothing.  I have a weird sense of pride when I finish a garment with zigzag finishes and no tags anywhere inside.  It is a reminder that the thing I have just made is a one of a kind original.  It was not mass produced.  It's super rare and limited edition!

If you can't tell already, this blog is going to be all about hand made pride, and embracing slow fashion.  Come join me as I expand my hand made wardrobe!
