A Tour of My Sewing Room

Sewing spaces are as different and varied as the people who work in them. I’m so proud of my sewing room now, but it didn’t always look this good. Maybe it will give you some ideas for your own special place…

Fun With DIY- Part 1

I love DIY (do-it-yourself) projects. The satisfaction I get from taking something really ugly or badly in need of repair and making it look beautiful again really does it for me. With not much more than elbow grease, time and a few supplies you can also save a lot of money and prevent stuff from going into landfill. Win Win!
