Curved Seams Dress...


This month, I'm joining in with Rikka, over at Ricochet and Away, for the Curved Seams Challenge. I was keen to tackle the challenge, as it involved learning a new skill: sewing flat, curved seams.

Dresden Plate Library Bag...


This is the 4th post in the Library Bag Tutorial series. Today I'll show you how to add a Dresden Plate to the basic Library Bag.

Dresden Plates are not as scary as they look. My first Dresden was incorporated into a Retro Flower Power Pillow. This is my second.

Threading Your Way ~ Features...

Amazingly, I'm ahead of my schedule for January's sewing, probably because I knew I'd have to be organised if I were to finish all the projects I'd signed up for. There was no time to procrastinate and change my mind a million times as I generally do. You should see my desk, though... bits and pieces everywhere!!! Time for a clean up.

As always, I've enjoyed looking through all of the projects added to the Threading YOUR Way with Threading My Way  link parties. The only problem is, that I keep adding to my To Do list... LOL!!!

This week's features...

A very pretty fabric basket, added to the Drawstring Bags and Fabric Baskets link party. I love the shape of this basket and it looks very quick to make...
