Hello Reader,
Whoops, I completely forgot to email you the last two weeks! If you were here last year you might know my kids are part of a local robotics team.
As a result, the last couple weeks for me have been engrossed in getting these hard-working students ready for competition. My two presented in our marketing presentation and it was so much fun to see them all dressed up in business attire. And their team came in 2nd, so we're heading to Denver to compete later this year!
But, I know what you're really here for is the sewing! Now that it's November and the holidays are fast approaching, we're having one more sew along before the year wraps up, BUT...not just an average sew along, this time I'm giving you two patterns to choose from—which means double the prizes as well! Here are your options:
First, join us as we sew along the Katie Book Sleeve, you can sign up by clicking here! This fun, easy book sleeve comes in two sizes with closure options and a bonus quilt block design!
OR sew along the Flora Supply Case, one of our most popular patterns, you can sign up by clicking here. This pattern is easier than you think and is always fun to sew and see everyone's modifications. This pattern offers 3 sizes and so many tips in the emails.
This is a busy season, but I sometimes find I have extra sewing time on those days off around thanksgiving, and of course we all want to get a start on sewing those holiday gifts, so it seemed like the perfect time to sew along! I hope you'll join us!
And, next week I'll be sharing my favorite Christmas tutorials with you, in case you want to get a start on your holiday sewing too!
Happy Sewing,

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...
