Patterns, Techniques, Articles, Blogs, and other resources to learn how to sew
I adore all things French and am always inspired by the French way of living. A friend recently bought me a fabulous book called The French-Inspired Home by Kaari Meng. Meng is the owner of the Los Angeles based store French General.
This book is packed with tons of ideas for sprucing up your place. There are many sewing projects to add some creativity and pizazz to your home. Among the adoreable projects is a cute little garden apron and a darling sink skirt. Tres chic!
Freebie: Printable Christmas Eve magic pillowcase poem
With all the excitement and expectation of Santa’s visit, it can be hard for kids to go to sleep on Christmas Eve. Melissa from Polka Dot Chair created special pillowcases for her nephews, to be used only on Christmas Eve. When she gave them to them, she included a little poem explaining that they’re magic pillowcases to help them have sweet dreams. She’s sharing a free printable of the poem on her blog, plus she links to a tutorial she’s written for making a pillowcase, so you can start the tradition with your own kids.
