And that’s in addition to today’s lovely vintage Workbasket pattern. For those unfamiliar with US history, the story goes that in 1776, Betsy Ross was commissioned to sew…

Yesterday while shopping for the black background fabric for my Spring Bloom project, Ye Olde Fabric Shoppe was having a Mother’s Day Special. For…
I’m working on creating the pattern and tutorial for a super cute little pincushion that uses one of the small sew-in coin purse frames. I’m still tweaking the pincushion pattern but once it’s ready, I plan to make one with Redwork embroidery on it. To that end, I have traced out and started embroidering the sides and top using a…
