Additions to the Stash

It's less than a month since I showed you the last fabric I acquired and today I'm showing you even more fabric that has entered my house in the last two days.

Keeping Track of Needles in Sewing Machine

A very quick post today to show you how I keep track of the size and type of needle that is currently in my sewing machine.

Impersonation on Twitter

I'm not a big fan of Twitter, so I don't use it as often as some other forms of social media. You can imagine my surprise when I found there was two of me on there. Well, not two of me, but two Threading My Way accounts on Twitter. Someone had impersonated me!!!

Cushion Covers with Hidden Zipper

Last Christmas I made my daughter two cushions. Eight months later I've finally sewn another two and she has a complete set.

Easy Peasy Peasant Dress ~ Pattern Review

I've made quite a few peasant dresses with the Easy Peasy Peasant Dress by Tie Dye Diva, so I thought it was about time I wrote a pattern review.

Additions to the Stash

It's becoming known amongst my friends, friends of family, and friends of friends, that I'm more than happy to help when someone wants to get rid of fabric they no longer need. A few months ago now, a good friend gave me bags and bags of fabric that one of her relatives no longer wanted. Seriously, it half filled the boot of my car.

Helping Others Through Sewing...

... if you ever need a helping hand, you’ll find one at the end of your arm. As you grow older you will discover that you have two hands. One for helping yourself, the other for helping others. … Sam Levenson

Today I've put together a list of charities that accept hand sewn projects in one form or another.  As sewists, we often have extra sewing supplies that are looking for a good home. Some of us even have so much fabric, that it feels good to sew just in order to decrease the stash a little. Ha, ha... that's me - a project or two hardly makes a dent in the stash.
