Patterns, Techniques, Articles, Blogs, and other resources to learn how to sew
So you’ve finally decided to take the plunge and buy yourself a fancy schmancy, whizz bang, make-your-sewing-friends-jealous sewing machine. There are many models to choose from and they’re all loaded with features, features, features. Which features are a must? Which just sound nice on the packaging? Sew4Home shares some advice in their article, Top Ten Advanced Machine Features.

If you are like me you want an easy way to carry your towel and a few items to the beach but don’t want a bag just to hold those things.
So I came up with the idea to make a beach towel bag. This way it is a bag that can hold a few items but also function as your towel. I love it! I share with you how you can make your own beach towel bag.
This is an easy sewing project that is perfect for summer! I even made a few for my kids so they each have their own. Start sewing this fun bag today.

I’ve often wondered if it is the features or build quality that make a good sewing machine. The build quality, these days, is pretty much a given. They aren’t as heavy and rugged as the older ones, but then we want them to be more portable. The features, combined with the performance and speed are obviously the winning combination that makes a high-end sewing machine. Though, not all people want the same features. What are required features for some, are just extra bells and whistles for another sewer. Good comments. Thanks,
