Tips & Tutorials

Inspired?

This page consists of a variety of Tips & Tutorials to assist you as you create. If something on this blog inspires you to create, great! That's the idea! Home sewers may feel free to use my tutorials to create as you choose, I simply ask that in addition to making things for yourself, you also find a way to give back with your creative talents. Sad that it even has to be said, but it is never ok to copy the tutorial itself. Thank you for being respectful of my work and time.

As for my pictures, you are welcome to use project pictures when linking back to my posts. Pics of my family are just mine though, so please don't reuse them in anyway. Thanks again!

If you are interested in knowing more about notions, tools and various gadgets that are must haves in my sewing space, simply search "sewing essentials" or see the tab labeled as such above.

Happy Sewing!
