Today is the day we finally get to announce something that we have been working on behind the scenes for National Sewing Month. We have teamed up with baby lock to bring you a new series.....called "Teach the One 2 Sew." At the beginning of the summer, liZ and I attended a sewing conference where we were able to be with some amazing sew-ists and glean from them and their wealth of knowledge...and at the end of the conference we were all going around the room and sharing to each other about ...

Babylock’s Common Threads Event
A couple weeks ago liZ and I had the opportunity to attend Babylock's Common Threads event. When we first saw the guest list of who was coming, liZ and I started wondering why in the world an invitation had come to us...because we are pretty much not even on the same caliber to be a room with these ladies.
