MAKE HOLIDAY GIFTS FROM SEWING SCRAPS

You can make Holiday Gifts to make from your Sewing Scraps
All of us who have been sewing for a while have a stash of sewing scraps. It's time to recycle them into holiday gifts. For some ideas visit Cookie's blog. The pictures she shares are adorable. She also shares sewing instructions. To join ribbon, use the same sewing technique we use for lace to lace sewing. Butt the two ribbons together and zigzag them catching the edge of the two ribbons as you zig and zag! Look how quickly you can dress up a tissue ...

Sewing Quilts for Charity

SEWING A QUILT

Quilting is fun and can be a very social event.
We started the morning looking like a rummage sale in a church hall! These are fabrics donated for us to make charity quilts. We were selling some of them to raise money to buy the threads and batting... it was fun.

Check out

things you can make. It's a new lens and more sewing
information is being added so check back often.
