What Do You Find Yourself Sewing Most Often

Now the question of the day is, "What do you find yourself sewing most often?"  Which isn't always the same as "What is your favorite thing to sew?"   I ask this question today because this week is all about ragged projects here on the blog...and I love them...and there was a time when I was doing craft fairs when I was sewing about 15 ragged tote bags a day.  Now, at that time I would have without a doubt said that I find myself sewing ragged tote bags most often. But after I ... View the Post

Girl’s Guide to DIY Fashion Book

Several weeks ago Rachel from Pins and Needles  asked if we like to receive a copy of her new book, Girl's Guide to DIY Fashion (affiliate link)  and since I have a 10-year old who is wanting to learn to sew quite badly, I thought it would be the perfect way to get some sewing lessons in this summer. And it has been!  The first couple of weeks we had the book I was super busy with deadlines so Hannie read, and planned all the things that she wanted to make first.  I even found her up late one ...
