I was surfing the web today when I ran across a tutorial for making button flowers. I thought about my little granddaughters – what a perfect “activity” for them! These flowers could easily be made into a child’s necklace or bracelet, and I know they would LOVE to make them. Thank you Rebeka at ArtsyCraftyBabe [...]

When I made the hooded bath towels for my grandchildren, who would have thought how easy bathtime would become! They simply LOVE to wear their hooded bathtowels around the house after bath time until we can get them into their pajamas!
Aren’t they just adorable!!!

I never heard a word about any of this until last Saturday when he was at our house and saw something about Halloween on [...]

How can you in sewing businesses help your customers save money? I truly believe this Holiday Season will see fewer gifts given, and those who will be giving gifts will be looking for “deals”.

The 12 in 1 Magic Ruler is exactly what it sounds like — one “magic” ruler that can be used 12 different ways. This ruler can be made into a yardstick, a t-square, an L-square, a triangle, a square; use the scalloped edge for making scallops on quilting projects, sewing projects and pillows. The 12 [...]

With school starting, we’ll all have a difficult time keeping track of all the school events, personal appointments, work schedule, etc, so I think this French Memo Board by Jen Madsen is just the perfect thing. It’s so pretty that I’m not so sure I’d want to “clutter” it up with notes, grocery lists, to-do [...]
