Patterns, Techniques, Articles, Blogs, and other resources to learn how to sew
Amy from Positively Splendid shows how to turn a glass jar into a sewing organizer. The large jar will hold your threads or small notions, and the top has a removable pincushion to hold needles and pins. She stenciled a cute scissor design on the outside of the jar and on the pincushion. This would make a thoughtful giftie for a friend who is learning to sew! Go to Positively Splendid to see how to make one.
