Hello, everyone!

I'm feeling pretty good right now because my part of the new secret online class is finished! Well, nearly everything... I need to finalize the handout, but still—mostly done! You can catch a sneak peak of it in this week's Jim-shot.

The tiny little serrated leaf that I appliquéd on Time Out last week was a hit! Click below if you missed it...

This week: cooling scarves! My friend, Sarah Meyers, has been making cooling scarves for donation and she thought you might like to make them too. They are a quick, easy, and very useful sewing project!

I have a solution for keeping your needles straight once you discover what you have. In my Needle Caddy Free Digital Download there's a trick built in for you, watch the video!

Hand Sewing Thread — Thinking It Through

Needle and thread choices can get you hung up. I talk through hand sewing threads, and how to choose colors when thinking about your fabric, below.

Both the Ultimate Thread Guide (and eBook) and Laura Wasilowski's Sewing Needle Guide are truly helpful. Don't get stuck when searching through your own stash, and when you're trying to figure out what you still need.
