Valentine Party Dress

 Valentine Day Party Dress

we make this sweet dress from the new

The Party Dress Book

this dress was inspired by a 

vintage piece for the bodice from Leah's Vintage Collection

A LITTLE LIGHT READING

Good for a rainy day (in January?  Seriously?!). 

Threads this month features good stuff like how to make hats!

Stitch is a fun quarterly publication with tons of projects (and the patterns to make them).  This is the technique issue and is full of good info for those of us who can't figure out how to adjust our machine's tension (for example...)

Also in:  your old favs like Quilt Mania & Mary Jane's Farm!

CZECH GLASS BUTTONS

We have a fantastic array of reproduction CZECH GLASS buttons!! Spruce up an old jacket with one of these babies.  Or even make one into a cute ring! Tons of possibilities....they are fabulous!

PROJECTS & INSPIRATION:

ECHINO + COSMO BAG = AWESOME!!
I know you're jealous of Kasey's success, but turn that furrowed brown into a little inspiration for your next project.

NESTING

So, the holidays are over...and now you're just stuck in your house without much to look forward to, except more winter.
"What is the solution?" you ask.

Rearrange, rethink and reupholster (or just throw a beautiful piece of fabric over it - that works too).  And tell your husband:  "Seriously, it's a sanity thing...do you want me to go crazy?!"

We have tons of ideas on how to change your space without spending a fortune, or even the grocery money.  You can browse thousands of options on these websites, and we can get you the fabric in a week.  Ta da!

duralee.com (our personal fav)
trend-fabrics.com (least expensive option usually)
kasmirfabrics.com
fabricut.com
vervain.com (pricey but fabulous)

PROMISE QUILT

Carol brought in this promise quilt and we love, love, love it!  She left it for us to admire (and blog about), and now we're all wondering...so what exactly is a promise quilt? 

Google searches yielded few results, so we ask you:  "What makes this a promise quilt?"

ONE HOUR

One hour on a wintery Saturday afternoon

with Melissa and Elizabeth. 

And 5 of the cutest darn pin cushions I've ever seen!

This pattern came for a cool site we found while looking for the perfect pin cushion pattern...(http://tipnut.com/22-free-pincushion-patterns/)
