He doesn't leave until November so he will get to come home before the move and we may even be able to work in a trip to Florida.....I don't know that I will be able to go see my baby in Korea! He will be stationed at Osan Air Force Base. (Not sure if I spelled it correctly, ...

This is a technique that is covered in my book 'Ready, Set, Serge' but I will give you a quick lesson here. If you have a presser foot that has a wire guide, you will use that foot.

You will need to set the serger for a rolled hem. The guides in the foot should guide the wire to the right of the needle allowing the rolled edge to be created over the wire. Use a decorative ...

Yes, without a presser foot. Make sure that you lower the presser foot lever and turn off the cutting blade. Guide the wire to the right of the needle as you create a rolled hem over the wire.

I was able to share my book and sewing curriculum at Martha's Sewing Market in Texas. Visiting with others who love to sew as much as I do is always a joy.

It turned out cuter in real life than it was in my mind! So, let me tell you about it. It is a checkerboard with checkers made out of fabric yo-yo's. It also has a cord that ties everything up in a neat little bundle! Cute! Cute! Cute! I did find that the Large Clover Yo-Yo Maker was the perfect size for the checkers. ...

Even though we won't be able to see our baby for a few more weeks, it is so nice to have him back on American soil. At this point I am unsure how busy he will be on a daily basis with the post-deployment stuff but I am sure I will be able to talk to him on a regular basis (as soon as Sprint gets that phone ...

I have a long standing rule in my house: If you want me to sew for you, you have to set and visit with me while I sew! This is a win/win plan. I get to sew and talk with friends and/or family at the same time. Kelly had some Christmas gifts that she wanted monogrammed. So, while the embroidery machine did all ...

He believes he will be headed home by December 22nd. So, keep the prayers coming, my baby is coming home!

Santa's looong hat wraps around your shoulders tossing the ball to the front. If you like to wear sweatshirts on cold winter days, you will love making one of these for the holiday season. I am in the process of making a child size version of the 'Santa Wrap'. I am going to be putting self-made chennille on all the ...
