Thanksgiving is the perfect time of year to show off your sewing skills to a wider audience. Maybe family you’ve not seen in a while will be visiting to celebrate and have dinner so it’s time to dress-to-impress and decorate your home, your dinner table and maybe even your kids … Continue reading
Oh no, it’s that time of year again. Have you seen places are already counting down to Christmas, the shelves are starting to fill with all of our festive favorites and if you are organised, you might already have started some of the shopping. But as a crafter or sewist, … Continue reading
