{You are Special Today} Pillow Tutorial
Growing up in my house, we had a "You are special today" plate. It was a fun tradition and we were always excited when our mom would get out that bright, red special plate from the china cupboard and put it down at someone's place setting. It was an added reminder about how special each one of us was to her. I was thinking about that plate the other day....and came up with this same idea, but as a pillow to place on different family member's beds throughout the year as a reminder of how ... View the Post

Zipper 101
Did you all have a good weekend? I hope so. Liz and I are both home again and happy to be back to a bit of normalcy. We were both laughing about how we have never had so many days in a row of wearing "real clothes" and not our usual mom uniforms of yoga pants, jeans and tees or sweaters. We do have a few more stories to tell you about our conference over last weekend...and some things we learned, but I feel like I am still processing a lot of it. But I promise we will share soon! And now ... View the Post
How to Sew a Dart
Sewing darts is another one of those things in sewing that seemed so complicated and hard when I first started sewing. But as time went on and I got braver....I finally tackled darts. And again, I wondered why I was so nervous. But I guess seeing all of those markings on patterns, I was more than a little intimidated. There are lots of kinds of darts. The picture below shows a pattern with one dart, but there can also be bust darts, curved darts, or even double darts (that look like a ... View the Post
