Posted at 11:13h, 16 MarchI am always looking for something to make simple garments stand out, so embellishment ideas are great.
Thanks

I hope everyone has chance to use my book Creating Couture Embellishments-either their own copy or through a library copy. There’s lots of good information in the book; I am continually surprised by how much stuff is in the book myself!
Thanks again Sarah.
xo, Ellen

Posted at 04:53h, 18 MarchI was sewing today and realised every day whether doing embroidery, sewing or quilting I am using my Pilot FRIXION pen. I can write on fabric and have had 100% success with the markings disappearing when I iron the fabric. A godsend when ensuring your patches are square. Today I cut out pieces for a quilt and simply numbered each piece so no guessing what attaches to what. I have the pen in several colours but generally the darker colours show up best on all fabrics. Found some at a reduced cost amongst the stationary supplies sold during going back to school weeks. Much cheaper than haberdashery/quilting stores.

Posted at 08:44h, 18 MarchCongratulations Mary, you’re going to love the book! I met Ellen Miller last week at a meeting of the NE Chapter of ASDP – we were sewing for the preemie unit at UMass Memorial hospital, and Ellen came to her first meeting to help out. She is truly a delight, and I too was so impressed with her book that I bought it the next day. It’s decorating my coffee table for now, for all to enjoy!
