I stumbled upon the website for Craft Hope today, craft hope . It is an amazing site where crafters and sewers come together to make projects for charity.

I have a FAcebook friend who works for a bedding design firm. She generously brought me some fabric scraps last week. WOW! The scraps are HUGE and so beautiful!

I bought a seam ripper this weekend and I immediately broke it while taking the pocket off an old pair of cargo pants. It occurred to me, about 10 seconds before the ripper bit the dust, that repurposing clothes into...<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/MamasLittleHelper/~4/EPNp4T_LHNo" height="1" width="1"/>

Haven't worked on my pants-a-long because I've been frantically trying to get some of the stuff I've made into my Etsy shop. It was a headbanger of a day.

The readers at stardust shoes are sewing pants together. If you want to work with others to get through the hassles of sewing a new item together, it's the place to start.

My niece, Ella, turned 3 yesterday. She had a "little Mermaid" theme. I made the cake. People asked me if she was excited when she saw it.
