Intravenous infusion units are used by patients to let them self medicate when they need it to alleviate their pain and suffering.  The infusion units are heavy and need a sturdy bag to help the patient manage them.

I designed this bag for my terminally ill friend, Thelma.  So, I call it the “Thelma Bag”. 

Hi Sewing Friends:

It’s been a long time, I know.  It has been a very busy time for me.  There simply aren’t enough hours in a day to do all the things that I would like to do or have to do.  In the midst of a busy teaching schedule, I moved and am still getting settled.  We are babysitting our grandson right now and have a little break, so I thought I would post this information while it is still fresh in my mind.

I get a lot of sewing questions.  Most of them have to do with basic sewing techniques.  There is a ton of good information out there, if you know where to look.  Most sewing books cover all the basics.  However, recently, some good videos came to my attention and I want to share them with you.  

Have not been able to post much lately. Been too busy teaching.

However, if you sew for kids, you don’t want to miss this opportunity for some really cute free sewing projects plus a nice informative newsletter.  Check it out.  I have mentioned this site before and it is worth a visit especially if you like to make things for kids.  They have the cutest ideas.

Enjoy your free sewing projects and newsletter.  They will give you an idea of what “You Can Make This” has to offer.  Click on the ad below

Try it!  It just makes sense!

To Your Sewing Success,

I never thought I would say this!  But, oh, my goodness!  If you have never tried computer generated pattern making software or even if you have in the past, I urge you to take a look at the very latest version Wild Ginger has to offer called Pattern Master Boutique, Version 4 (PMB4).

 Anytime you need a last minute gift, here is my favorite idea for you.  This suggestion is not only good for gift ideas, but for church bazaar items as well.  It doesn’t take much time, talent or fabric to make some really beautiful and very much  appreciated gifts.

The item is table runners.  Sew them in all sizes.  Change the shape.  Express your creativity. You are the designer!  Have fun!
