I would really love to win a membership to Threads Insider. I lost my job a long time ago and have become very dependent on my stash of patterns and fabric as well as free online help and information. I read Threads at my library but it would be fantastic to have those tips and inspiration at home on my computer. Thanks so much for the chance to win.

I sew a lot of vintage dresses so I'd really like to learn better construction techniques for the underlying structure especially when it comes to boning.

I'd love to use the freeform technique to make some home decor items like curtains and wall art for my daughter and soon-to-be son-law's new home.

My greatest quilting experience was when I made a quilt for my bff using her mom's recipes printed on fabric from her father's shirts after both parents passed away. I knew her parents and had baked a lot of her mom's recipes so it was a particularly moving experience from choosing the recipes to piecing it together.

I really enjoy combining hand embroidery, beading, and sequins. I like vintage things and enjoy embellishing things I sew.

I travel by train between my home, my mother, and my older daughter to help out. This bag and all the fabulous goodies would make it so much easier for me to tote my projects around. Thanks for the opportunity!
