An Excuse to Escape.... I'll be there too! I'm very excited to go to Denver...a favorite customer from my storefront days lives there and will be my helper, and from there I hop a plane and fly to the Corpus Christi, TX American Sewing Guild to give a presentation and workshop.Â
Was I ever lucky! When walking into church last Sunday on ice - my legs went out from under me and "kerplunk...Down I went. All I have is a VERY sore tail bone...not even a bruise!  However, you can bet I ordered one of the new SitUpon Comfort Cushions . Regularly $28.95 - on sale for this sale through Monday for $23.16.Â
Been Watching Sewing Videos these cold, snowy nights all wrapped up in a quilt...and have posted many here at my site - all of mine at the Free Info Top button of my website - but click here to watch all my Free Sewing Videos. My video on how to use the Narrow Hem Foot has gotten rave reviews. Since I've even learned to embed videos - watch that one right here:
Luv, Luv, Luv THREADS Magazine...and have hidden the recent one from myself so I can devour it in upcoming plane trips...but in thumbing through, page 15 - Clover's Bobbin Tower - save 20% at my weekend sale - so $12.76 rather than $15.95 page 16 - Gypsy Gripper - save 20% - pay just $16.76 instead of $20.95 page 26 - I have the fabric covered Lead Squares - known as drapery weights - a few left at Clearance pricing! page 80 - Carol Ahles has written out the steps as she taught me for using the Narrow Hem foot - hope you watched the video above!
Been Cleaning Out as part of New Years New Beginnings?  Do yourself a favor! Throw out all dull 'shirt' pins, corsage pins, etc. and 'treat' yourself to some GOOD NEW Glass Head pins! I personally love the Clover 2501 pins - 1.5" long, .5mm diameter - fine, yet strong enough for the sweatshirt fleece and embellishment sewing that I'm always doing. Yet, I can use them on silk as well. If you want the finest pin ever - I recommend Clover 2507 - which is an eensy .4 mm wide, still 1.5" long, and a glass head pin. I've included both in this weekend sale at 20% savings! Be honest...do you STILL fish pins out of a dish or Sucrets tin as so many of my students would come to class with??? Do you have any idea how much time you're wasting????? I just decided to add the Ewesful Pincushion to my 20% off weekend sale.Â
Perhaps you've found some fabric scraps and want to give the Yo-Yo Maker a try... I found a great little creative idea making animals from Yo-Yo's on You Tube from Nancy Zieman and a guest. I embedded it at my product of all FIVE of the Yo-Yo's at 20% off everyday savings. Go watch it - VERY cute! A cold day you could whip up some of these and put on a diaper bag to have a baby gift all ready to go!
I guess you are amazed as I am when Valentines appears in the stores as soon as Christmas is down! Sweetheart Roses make me think of Valentines Day - and all those Weddings that will be coming up in the Spring and June. I've placed 2 great videos demonstrating the beautiful Sweet Heart Roses you can make with Clover's Tool. Watch them at that product page - click HERE. Also on sale...
I have plans to teach some hand sewing (probably yo-yo's) at the Assisted Living home where my parents are - and I'll sure take along these same goodies:Â
Desk Needle Threader - on sale, and watch the video! You can bet your booties I'll use this gadget to thread up a bunch of needles before I go!
Then I'll teach them how to tie a knot as I do here - watch the video below!Â
