Below you'll find pages that I've tried to categorize for you. I have decided to change the format of this page just a bit. I will be going with a "Tip of the Week" theme as it will cut down on the work for me and hopefully people will know they can come back for tips on a regular basis instead of just hit or miss. Please check out the pages below and if YOU have a tip you'd like to share just email me!

Tip of the Week

scroll

I've just recently discovered that my 6 year old son has a rare bone disease so I've been online searching for every little tidbit of information that I could find regarding this disease. However, I will continue to put out the new tip of the week. Please bear with me if I'm a little late on occasion. Thanks!

~New Sewing Tip...~

I recently made a lovely light-weight floral chiffon dress with a light-weight attached underslip. It turned out beautifully, however, the underslip would sometimes peek out just a bit over the scooped neckline of the dress. I had already done topstitching hoping to correct the problem. I ended up taking a small amount of pennies and sewing them into the hemline of the underslip, separated by stitching a line on either side of the penny, and then re-stitching the small opening closed. I added them in the front of the slip about every six inches. These small weights kept the underslip from showing, were easily added, and cost only pennies! Try it sometime for yourself...
