Some fabrics can't be pinned, so cutting out can be a disaster unless you have some nifty pattern weights. This can include some knits, sheer fabrics, and leather. Joann's sells a package of 4 pattern weights for $11.99. For that price, I could buy fabric for another project or put it towards some pinking shears (if only I could find left-handed ones!!). I set out to make my own for less than $3 each. Pinterest had great ideas pinned from other sewers, so the tutorial below is not my idea , but it's a good one! http://thepetitesewist.blogspot.com/2012/01/diy-fabric-weights.html

Herringbone Quilt Block Tutorial

I teased this tutorial quite a while ago , but then I got an idea that made it a lovely Thanksgiving craft. So I waited. You can make one of these quilted cards for every person at your Thanksgiving table. You can write each of them a personal message (on the back), thanking them for something nice they’ve done for you.

Felt Flower Winter Wreath

I have been wanting to make a wreath in all white and ecru felt for some time now, but when we got in our fun, new neon threads I knew I had to bring the two worlds together to create a wintery white wreath with playful bursts of color that would bring a smile to my face all winter long. The pairing of the soft, snowy neutrals with the intense, colorful neons make this piece glow in a way that words can't describe. Enjoy! --Page Materials
