Perhaps the most meaningful of these vaunted fashion accessories are the bracelets we make for ourselves, family or friends. When made for others they are often termed “friendship bracelets”. They’re not only attractive but become valued personal possessions because friendship is basic to all great personal relationships in…

Late Summer Swim and Spa Robes
I have such a fun sewing project to share with you today! When I was contacted by Shannon Fabrics about another collaboration with Clover, I jumped on their beautiful Turkish Terry Waffle White Fabric. When the fabric arrived it was as special as I knew it would be. From the beginning I knew I wanted to make Swim (or Spa) Robes with the fabric but what really excited me was I asked for enough fabric to make five of them! Our family goes on a yearly beach vacation…

Loop Pressing Bars
Loop Pressing Bars with instructor Steve Butler Class 141 What is it? – Why do we willingly expend so much effort when we sew? Quilting, fashion, home decor and all of the accessories relating to each? Hours spent selecting just the right pattern (no easy task), the right fabric (no easy task) and the right threads (yes, no easy task here either). It’s because at the end of the day we want it to be ours, an expression of our own personal creative vision. And as if the selection of patterns, fabrics and threads…

It is a large statement piece but if that’s not your style, don’t worry – I give you a variation…
