It's Saturday! Let's Sew!

It's fairly early on a Saturday morning...I'm trying to entertain myself quietly ... the "oldest Babe" is still sleeping.

After a GREAT WIN on the football field last night, my grandson came home with me for a sleep over so we could finish his sewing project today...I'm anxious to get started.

I haven't heard from "my ladies" this week...Kathy is frolicking around Hawaii and Dez is .... Dez, what are you doing this week????  So, I'll post something useful...  I read this on Pinterest just this morning.

Tip One:  Check your seam allowance.
Tip Two:  Learn the correct way to press.
Tip Three: Use a Design Wall.

Note on Design Walls.  I have one....it is simply a piece of batting thumb-tacked to a wall.  I use it a lot.  I also use my "design floor."   (Just a note, I don't have babies, husbands or pets tracking through my apartment, so the floor works pretty well.)  You need to see the bigger picture.
(Examples of my Design Wall and Design Floor HERE.)


New gadget.... Reading the above article I saw this truly nifty-looking tool.

I think this will be really helpful!  I just ordered one from Amazon.
It was cheap, cheap, cheap.

I think I hear rustling from the other room....oh boy....
