We have been waiting for this morning for months now and we are so excited that it is finally here: Day 1 of Skirting the Issue! As we mentioned last week, things will run a little differently this year. Last year Skirting the Issue focused on making and donating skirts to foster care girls to have just in time for back to school. (And with all of your help we were able to donate almost 600 skirts!)

“You Can’t Judge An Ugly Vintage Pattern By Its Cover” Party
Elizabeth and I both love vintage patterns. In fact, if we are using a pattern it is a rare occasion for us NOT to be using a vintage pattern. We just love them. Most of my early sewing was limited strictly to vintage patterns. I just think they are the best---the pieces, the instructions, the illustrations, the styles..... However, sometimes to see the potential waiting inside the envelope you have to look past the photo on the cover. Take this beauty for instance: That girl in the photo ... View the Post
