• Look Mom! No Zippers!

  A member of my American Sewing Guild Neighborhood Group brought an interesting pouch for Show and Tell. (You know how much I like pouches!) This one had pieces of metal measuring tape in the opening. The metal flexes and bends, allowing the pouch to open...

• Zip-Around Pouches for High Tech Devices

  I bet you thought I was done with Zip-Around Pouch variations. I thought I was done, too, until I had one more pouch to make.

• Contour Clock Apron

  In my previous blog I promised I would talk about the aprons I embroidered for my sons. My husband had the idea of embroidering a clock (and then came up with the pun that would make it food-related: "Tine to cook"). Here is a picture of one...

• Paisley Apron Embroidery

  I was recently given some beautiful apron blanks to embroider for my family. I chose my paisley designs for my apron, and decided to arrange my smaller size of paisleys in my new 200 x 200 millimeter hoop. It looked very nice, but there wasn't enough...

• Embroidered Gadgets Caddy

  I love bright colors. I especially love them on a black or very dark background, where they can really pop. I also love designing and sewing useful totes, bags and caddies of all sorts.
