Tutorial: 3 ways to sharpen you sewing scissors

Even if you guard your fabric scissors closely, eventually the blades do dull.  The same with rotary cutter blades and your pins.  You could always just replace them, but you can often sharpen them yourself at home.  Vicky from Vicky Myers Creations shares a tutorial at So Sew Easy showing how you can sharpen your sewing tools.  She shows three methods for sharpening scissors, and also tells how  you can sharpen your rotary cutter blades and sewing pins.

Monday Musings: My Fabric Stash is Judging Me (A Love-Hate Relationship)

I have a problem. Well, several problems, but today we’re talking about the 37 yards of fabric currently taking up residence in my closet. Some of it’s been there so long it could legally vote. That beautiful linen? Bought for a specific project in 2018. The designer wool? “Too nice to cut.” The rainbow of quilting cotton? Well, it was on sale.

Every time I open that closet, I swear the fabric whispers, “Remember when you were going to make that dress?” The guilt is real. But so is the joy of petting my hoard like a fabric dragon sitting on her treasure.

Last week I tried the KonMari method. I got as far as “does this spark joy?” before buying three more yards of floral voile. Some habits die hard.
