"I would love the Simply Red Bernina machine. My favorite nursery rhyme is Wee Willie Winkie"

"I have spent months on a family quilt as you go quilt for my mom. I had simple coloring book patterns many years ago as patches for family members. We embroidered these and I had the family members sign on a white sheet of material. These were embroidered too. Lovely momento."

"I am just starting to organize my fabric. Who knew it would be such a big job! I bought comic book boards to wrap my fabric around. I will eventually get another shelving unit or bookcase to store it on. Thanks so much for the wonderful ideas!"

"If that's the way you want to draft your patterns there are several good books and other websites about the subject. But except for the few designs which are only basically made from rectangles such as a gathered skirt, it is not possible to just "give instructions" for drawing the crutch curve on trousers, or a neckline or a sleeve head. I agree that perhaps those curves could be the only bit you need to print off and the length of any straight lines could be shown, but don't forget websites of this sort need to cater for people with less skill and experience than you apparently have. You could always do a print preview and decide which pages you need to print and which you could guesstimate using common sense, such as the leg on a pair of trousers."

Vintage Map Bunting

Are you looking for a super simple and chic DIY home decor project? Upcycle some old maps and lace by sewing this Vintage Map Bunting!

From the blogger: "This project uses vintage maps and lace to create a stunning garland in a unique way at the same time as preserving memories of your favourite places! It can easily be created in just an evening, so have fun choosing maps of all those places you have known and loved! It would also make such a thoughtful wedding or housewarming gift. Pinking shears are useful for the project but are not essential and folded ribbon or tape can also substituted instead of bias binding."
