  1. Hi.
    I live in Ireland where crafts hardly exist, but a friend in Ohio sent me your web address which I obviously found. Trouble is that I can’t get up the tutorials. I know that at my age I should be more computer literate, but hey – you can’t be good at everything ! Any advice please ?

    • Susan,
      I’m not sure why the tutorials aren’t loading for you. They’re just links to other websites. The only thing that comes to mind is that they are set up to open in a new window rather than loading in the window that’s already open and viewing Craft Gossip. Are there security settings on your computer preventing newwindows from being opened? Wish I could be more help. –Anne

  2. I can’t seem to get the pyramid purse tutorial either! However I can get the others…
    It’s coming up with an error message.
    Any chance you could re-load it please? x

    • It looks as though their site is in the middle of some software updates. That may be causing the problem. If so, I suspect it is just a temporary issue. –Anne

Velvet is such a luscious fabric, especially for winter sewing projects.  Of course there are velvet Christmas sewing projects – stockings, tree skirts, santa hats – but velvet is beautiful for all winter.  Think of all the gorgeous velvet dresses, evening bags, hair accessories, even pillows and other home décor that you see all winter long.
