but in all honesty, at this point in time, being thankful is not really working for me since my nose which is where the cancer was, is a “third eye on a cyclops” sort of scenario after the dermatologist and plastic surgeon got done with me. If Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer met me...
When it comes to classic pajama style, the Carolyn’s are near perfection! The pattern features both short and pant lengths as well as short or long sleeves. I loved that because it meant I could customize these just for me and do pants with a short sleeve top. I hate sleeping in ...

Has anyone tried this with beeswax? Melting beeswax onto any fabric creates a handwash only foodsafe fabric but I wonder if it holds up well for this kind of project? Also has anyone tried the flip closure like you see on plastic snack bags that don’t have zippers? Can’t think of ...
~1 or 2 packages of double fold bias tape(I always get away with one, but it doesn’t hurt to have a little extra) ~ 3 buttons at about 5/8″ each(for decoration purposes only on the front closure) ~ 4 snaps at 3/8″ or 1/2″ each(three for closing the front, and one for...
I like to fancy it up and since this had an Asian vibe, I added bamboo handles and a frog closure just for decoration. The fabrics were a fat quarter bundle from long ago. This is why you purchase fabric that grabs you. I bought this not knowing what in the world I would use it ...
