SEWING IS AN ADVENTURE! Every project you undertake is an experience. You'll have up times and down times, right turns and "wrong" turns. Moments of pure satisfaction and moments of pure frustation. There will be days you love it and days you want to throw everything related to it out the nearest window.

So no matter what your skill level, here's my number one piece of advice:

"You must have patience with yourself and the project, acceptance that things may not always go as planned, and a healthy dose of humor to put it all into perspective."

This site is for YOU, if:

• You are a sewing beginner or intermediate and you want to know more about techniques, machines and fabrics
