Patterns, Techniques, Articles, Blogs, and other resources to learn how to sew
Sewing a buttonhole doesn’t have to be hard. Most sewing machines have a special foot to use to help make it easier. Anna at Tea and a Sewing Machine shows how you can sew a buttonhole on your machine using your buttonhole foot. The tutorial is part of a series on her blog called Making Friends With Your Sewing Machine that’s aimed at sewing beginners.

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.
