| Oh my… I never dreamed when I put up a website that maintaining it would be such a challenge. I appreciate all of you that have been patient and encouraged me to hang in there. I’m happy to introduce a NEW Expo Jacket pattern with sizes Sm - 3X. It requires 3 pair of jeans and certainly you can choose to make it out of any material of your choice. The status of my NEW book is so exciting. The pattern tissues have arrived in the warehouse and the final color proof should be here this week. It will then actually go to press and be ready for shipment sometime early July. Whooo Hooo For those of you who read this update and order the Expo Jacket or the NEW book Junk Jeans Extreme Makeovers I will include Free Shipping. Be sure to mention the Newsletter from this website. SEWING TIP: A quick tip for this month is about ripping or tearing jeans. If you want raveling to occur as part of your design why not snip your jeans at the hemline edge and then grab on and rip with brute strength. This will guarantee straight of grain and easier raveling. By ripping instead of cutting it goes much quicker and more accurate if straight lines are the goal. For example: I used the ripping method on my NEW Super Simple Woven Rug and the oblong and square Tissue Box Covers that are featured in my NEW book Extreme Makeovers! I would like to close by making a promise to update more often and moving my website into the current century. It’s hard to believe that my site has been floating around for about 15 years but thanks to all of you it has become actually active. I hope to see you soon, so visit my Sewing Show page to see where I’m going to be this year. Until next time; know how much I appreciate your support and help to stay inspired! |
