Sewing Project: Tissue Box Slip-Cover
I love sewing but I wouldn’t dream of sewing a slipcover for a sofa or some other large piece of furniture. Too overwhelming! Too much time!

These covers… Continue reading Sewing Project: Tissue Box Slip-Cover

My daughter needed a fancy winter coat and there was no reason to buy one. Winter coats only get worn a few times a year by my kids and a fancy winter coat? Even less so. I thought I’d look for a used coat or perhaps sew one. But, on a Goodwill Clearance Center (code… Continue reading Sewing Project: The Winter Cape
Sewing Project: A Quilt for My Son
