I'm releasing something completely new


Hey there Reader,

I've been working on something different for the past few months, and I'm so excited to finally share it with you! Introducing:

If you have a quilty or sewing business, this guide is for you! I have some more business-related content in my Quilty Biz Newsletter, and if you haven't heard of it or had a chance to get on the list, subscribing to the guide is a great place to start!

And if you're only here for the sewing, don't worry, you'll only receive business-related content if you subscribe to it.

We're in the midst of the Rae Pencil Case Sew Along, which is a great, back-to-school project. This is such a quick, easy case to whip up, that there's plenty of time to still join...and win prizes!

I've had a couple of you reach out and ask where I found my fun, striped zippers that I used on so many of my pencil cases, you can read all about them in my Ultimate Zipper Guide, including links to my favorite shops!

Happy Sewing,

But, I know...

Fabric with washi tape on ruler for fussy cutting

Hello Reader, If you're anything like me, you love a good fussy cut project. But cutting into the fabric in the middle can be a little nerve-wracking! Today I'm going to share my favorite tip for getting a great fussy cut without wasting a lot of fabric: Use washi tape or masking tape to mark your ruler to the correct size! If you're not familiar with the term fussy cutting, it's the practice of cutting around a specific motif in a piece of fabric, instead of just cutting from the end. I...
