Sewing Videos 

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.
