Embroidery and sewing since about 6years old. I've sewn everything except real bras and logcabins (I have no wood thread). And I'll try to make anything!!! I love sewing tools and "older" machines--they are sooooo (sew) well made. I'm sorry that I didn't learn to knit or crochet, but keep way too busy with what I do- work on.

craft interests: embroidery, fashion, sewing

Re: MAGAZINE GIVEAWAY: "Quick Stuff to Sew"

I plan to make quilt square pot holders for everybody... have scraps and filler. HOWEVER, reading everyone's plans gave some more ideas. I'd love to win a copy of "Quick Stuff..." to get more ideas that I would have the p a t t e r n for!
Take care everyone

Re: BOOK GIVEAWAY: "Couture Sewing Techniques" by Claire B. Shaeffer

I want to learn how to make my garments fit PERFECTLY, and to construct them so they shine the way I see them in my imagination! Claire makes lessons effective for me.
I'm glad it is a book, and not a dvd.

(Please, let me win, let me win, let me win!)

Re: Sewing findings on securely

I remember (now too) using this nice technique. I became lazy and--- sloppy. Consider this a turning of a new leaf.
But where and how do you tie off.

Re: Book Giveaway: Successful Serging

What a great sounding book! Does it come with a dust-cloth to get my new-unused machine going again???? I want to make friends with that machine, so here I come!
