"I can see using cheap cotton doilies from the dollar store and crocheting around them but paper? How do you wash them? That would not work for me. Like many people I am allergic to dust so they have to be washed. The paper would not last."

"This is a great idea. I have the fat quarters already. I just have to sew them together and it will not take long. Decent fabric curtains in the store can be pricey. Now if you can sew you have no excuse. Just sit down at the machine and start sewing. It will be done in no time. Thank you."

"This pattern requires a trip to the thrift store. You can buy those sweaters for a low price and make your own poncho. You will not see a poncho like that anywhere else. It is easy to make. Good idea. Thank you."

"This is a good way to learn how to do bias binding. However I would not go to this effort to save towels. If they are fraying like that, they are on their way out. But if you want to learn a sewing method and just use the towels for a swimming pool or whatever, go for it."

"This is a great project to make for a young girl. It will make an original dress and won't cost a lot of money. I remember when I was that age, I just wanted a lot of dresses and choices in my wardrobe. This would do it. Great design."

Sabra Gubler

Sabra Gubler I decided to learn to sew in college, but never did more than the occasional lounge pant or Halloween costume until recently. It was in 2010 that I decided I wanted to "really" learn how to sew. I picked up my old college text book with a personal challenge to work my way through the entire book, one technique and project at a time. From this experiment, I've learned that I love making up my own patterns and coming up with new twists on conventional designs.

A mom to three little boys, and wife to an amazingly supportive man, I find inspiration and motivation to create and challenge myself every day. I still have a long way to go, but I am thoroughly enjoying this process of learning and improving my sewing, and especially sharing what I've learned and created on my blog, Sew A Straight Line.
