It would be great to see this displayed at a national quilt show, but a good substitute would be a close-up shot in Threads. Is it possible?

Every now and then I need to make bias tape and this would be a delight to use. Do you see my hand up, waving wildly?

My mother and grandmother showed me how to hand sew doll clothes, but I first used a sewing machine when I made a dress for 4-H. However, I remember that I didn't like the dress and never wore it. The first project that I made on a machine which I actually wore was a corduroy skirt for which my mother paid me $5. I liked it so much that I made two more corduroy skirts for $5 each, at which point my mother stopped paying me! By that time I was confident enough to continue sewing most of my own clothes.

Like Genevieve, I now have my own sewing room, complete with a cutting board that can collapse to a narrow table. The room also is my writing space and thanks to the Murphy bed tucked behind what looks like a cabinet, can be a temporary guest room.
