Button Hole - Thursday Tip

A little tip for perfect buttonholes. When creating buttonholes always use a piece of lightweight interfacing on the wrong side of the fabric to stabilize your buttonhole.  Perfect each time!

THURSDAY 's  SEWING TIP

Trying something new on Thursday's. As you all know I enjoy sewing as well as teaching people how to sew. While planning classes to teach and sewing my own things to either sell or make as gifts or for my family, I read a lot of material about sewing. Being a Sewing Teaching I have to stay up on different techniques and products. Well, to make a long story short, I don't recall where I read this but I thought this would be great to share.

This is kind of my Upcycle Sewing Tip. If you have been to a sewing class, you would have noticed my bobbins are usually slightly unwound. Or when I am packing or unpacking a bobbin might fall on the floor. This drives me nuts. I know there are notions you can purchase to store your bobbins. But I found a way to store my bobbins using what I already have in my bathroom. When my girls were younger they were very interested in painting there toe nails. So we went out and bought little manicure sets. Well, take a look!

National Craft Month

Spring is in the air!  What a beautiful day.  I spent most of the day re-organizing my sewing area.  What a job, I have accumulated a lot of beautiful fabric.  It is always good to rummage thru my collection because it get my creative juices flowing.  I was sorting and matching fabric for my spring collection so keep your eyes open for a posting about fabulous Children's line of dresses.

Okay, so back to the upcoming sewing classes.  This Saturday is a Children's Project Class, we will be making a pillow case.  What a wonderful beginner project to reinforce your child's sewing skills that they learned in the first class Children Beginner Sewing Class.  This is a wonderful asset to there bedroom.  When my girls made their own pillow cases, it helped encourage them to make there beds everyday.  This was because they were so proud of what they accomplished.  Of course, I loved it!

IF, you haven't registered for the Adult Beginner Class and the Project; 1 Hour Pants Class yet, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?  The class is Saturday, March 24, 2012 and people are already registering.  I just don't want you to miss out on this class.  In honor of National Craft Month the class is priced at $35.00.  Next month it won't be this low.  Come make a stylish pair of casual pants for the Spring.

Thank you
