A few weeks ago I bought The Quick Points Ruler.. This ruler is pretty cool – you can make prairie points and very unique trim with it. Making pillowcases has never been high on my sewing radar. How about you? However, I didn’t realize they were so easy to make. I was at my local sewing and quilting store “Keep Me… View Post
I have been travelling for almost 3 weeks. I’m finally home and hugging my sewing machine! Receiving some pretty great hugs from my baby and husband too. So here it is. My last 101 post for the summer.. This one is fun – my top 3 marking tools. I’ve said that I am a sewing nerd, and this is why.. I… View Post
Rotary Cutters.. Do you use them? Like them or are you afraid of them? Fear not.. They rule in the sewing world. When I was in design school, I spent a 6 months studying abroad in London, England. At the same time, I interned at a very small, yet high end fashion company called Boudicca. Looking back, I think I spent… View Post
I love to sew! I think most of us do.. When I have the right tools to start a project, I find the entire sewing process much easier and so enjoyable. I am a sewing supply junkie. Some may call it a sewing supply nerd, my husband calls me a hoarder.. I get a lot of joy when I bring home a new ruler, marking… View Post
I am travelling yet again. I’m headed to Atlanta then Greenville, SC and then back to Atlanta. Phew, even the thought tires me out. I was packing my earrings and necklaces in ziplock baggies and realized that it was time to sew something to hold them in. I decided on the spot that I should finally make a jewelry roll! I… View Post
Thank-you Mollie Makes! I bought Issue 23 when I was in Atlanta last February. Until then, I had never heard of Mollie Makes.. I was so excited to have discovered the magazine. Not only was it loaded with sewing ideas, articles on bloggers and sewing shops, it came with a free gift – a sewing kit for a travelcard wallet! I held on to the kit for… View Post
Do you ever have a party to attend and think.. Ugh. What should I bring? I do all the time. On the way to the event my husband and I just grab a quick bottle off wine. We hand it over to the hostess with a .. “Here – thanks for having us” gesture. No card. Lame. We were recently visiting friends in Toronto. While relaxing… View Post
Happy Friday! The other day my husband asked me what I would buy if I was given a $25 gift card to a fabric store. I knew right away and said FAT QUARTERS! I love fat quarters. I think I might even be a bit of a fat quarter hoarder. So I went to Joann’s and tested out how many I could… View Post
A few weeks ago, my husband requested that I design mesh daycare pouches. He was tired of sending our son’s second batch of clothing to daycare in zip lock bags. While we really like zip lock bags in our house, my husband thought it was time to send the clothing in a nice little bag. And he said, isn’t this the perfect opportunity for a “project”!? The… View Post
