Friday Finds for Sewing Well
I thought up this series last week when it seemed like everywhere I looked there was a Friday the 13th fabric sale. Well, at first I was thinking of writing about my "Friday Fabric Finds", but when time got the best of me and the post didn't happen, I realized that I shouldn't just limit… Continue reading Friday Finds for Sewing Well
Fall 2013 Pantone

At the start of last spring, I made it a goal to think ahead a season when planning my sewing projects. I… Continue reading Spring 2012 Pantone
Fall 2011 Pantone
The solstice is here, marking the first day of summer for those of us living in the Northern Hemisphere. Back on the first day of spring 2011, I discussed wanting to stay a season ahead in my sewing. I planned a relatively few projects based around the spring 2011 pantone, and I completed even fewer. One, in… Continue reading Fall 2011 Pantone
