"I haven't had my sewing machine out in years, but with this DIY Burberry Rain Cape pattern, it's coming out! This is one that anyone can wear and it will be so useful. This pattern is a must on my list for the whole family. Looking forward to making this one for the whole family. Thank you so much for this free sewing project."

"This is a really good idea. Imagine how soft and cozy the shirts feel from frequent washing, too. I also like how the button down front of one shirt is integrated so that a pillow insert can be used and removed if the pillow case needs washing."

"I have seen so many toppings on doughnuts and they get creative every year. I love how cute these felt doughnuts are, they'd make such cute fillers for a gift basket. There so many other ideas for this tutorial though, so bust out that stash of leftover felt and get to making them."

"I would love to win that Bernina 215 machine ,the sewing machine I had started sewing backwards ans I took it to be fixed and the guy wanted to charge more than I orig. bought it for at the Good Will and and I am on a fixed income and couldn't afford the repairs so sewing has not been one of my pleasures lately."

Iron those fine details smoothly and easily with Clover's new Wedge Iron! The simple design of this miniature iron is perfect for quilting and fabric crafting.

The narrow tip of this small iron is excellent for fine detail. Easily get under layers of fabric and press those seams! There is just enough negative space between the iron and the soleplate to get under flaps for precise ironing. The flat soleplate does not have steam holes; thus, it should not drag the fabric. It is a dry iron that works on water-sensitive fabrics like silk, but it does come with a mini spray bottle for any ironing that does require a bit of moisture. Easily control the steam when you use the mini spray bottle to dampen exactly those parts of the fabric which require ironing.

One great use for this iron is hanging projects. If you have a quilt hanging on your wall that is wrinkled in places, you can use this iron without taking the quilt off the wall! Use a heat-resistant hot pad as backing for your ironing, and hold the iron up to the quilt. When you hold the hot pad as a base and iron vertically, you save yourself some time and struggle because you don't need to take down the quilt!

The Wedge Iron features three easy temperature settings: Low is approximately 175°F-230°F; Mid is approximately 231°F-300°F, and High is approximately 301°F - 390°F. The comfortable grip, easy-to-set temperature dial, and steamless design will make for a very easy ironing experience!

Though this iron isn't a travel iron necessarily because it does need to be plugged in, its compact size is easy enough to take on the go. Keep this iron beside you as you work, press fine detail smoothly and easily, and enjoy this handy tool as the latest addition to your fabric crafting stash.
