In addition to the sewing projects shown below, I have started a new page Helpful Sewing Information. Helpful Sewing Information will not only give you hints and tips specific to sewing but will also give you instructions on some basic sewing stitches such as the overcast and blanket stitch. I will be adding information to this category on a regular basis. However, in the mean time, if you feel there is a specific stitch you would like showcased here, please feel free to e-mail me with your request.
