Sewing Terminology: A Mini Sewing Dictionary Patterns (and seamstresses for that matter) seem to have their own language so today we put a list together for you (a mini dictionary if you will) to help you define all the sewing lingo that you may encounter when working with patterns. (I wish I would have had a similar list when I started sewing...it would have saved me a lot of phone calls...) Look it over and when you are finished check out the sewing advice from our friend Ashley at ... View the Post
What I Wish I’d Know When I Started Sewing: Simple Sewing Tools
Today let's talk about some simple sewing tools that will make your life easier. I remember early on in my sewing career not having a lot of tools and sometimes being frustrated at not getting corners that turned out well, or having safety pins pop open in the midst of pulling elastic through a skirt.

Easy Holiday Ear Warmers
Recently while fabric shopping at Joann Fabric and Crafts, I spied ear warmers and gloves in their dollar bins. I thought that they would make some great last-minute holiday gifts for some girls on our list so I grabbed quite a few sets. I then ran over to grab some wool felt and pompoms and I knew we had all the supplies for a perfect afternoon of crafting. And then Hannie saw them and thought that they would make perfect gifts for her friends. So, last week, we spent some time after ... View the Post
