Re: Book Giveaway: "1,000 Clever Sewing Shortcuts & Tips"
The tip that I was given a few years ago has been so ingrained I almost never think about it anymore: New project? New needle! Needles are cheap compared to the frustration you may encounter if your needle develops a burr or a bent tip. Choose a new needle for every project and pick the right one for your thread and fabric.

For fitting, my copy of Nancy Zieman's "Fitting Finesse" is always on hand. I used use "Busy Woman's Sewing Book" a lot, but it has vanished somewhere in the workroom! I really wish I could have found it for my notched lapel problems the other day...

It would be a lot of fun to dye the organza strips in multiple shades of the same color and then make the flower! Great tutorial!
