Many of you asked about my ironing tables. Here is a link to the Closetmaid Cubes that I used. I bought them at ValuCenter in Painted Post (Target sells them, too).
Here's another idea for an ironing board topper.
I learned a little trick yesterday from my ASG friends - get a "Get A Grip" and suction it to your rotary cutting ruler. They are cheaper than ones designed for sewing! I bought mine at Walgreens, but they are also available on Amazon. I've added the link to our SHOP page. Link through us and we'll make some $$$. BTW, I DO NOT recommend these for the shower! |

I won some fabric on the Sew Mama Sew Blog! Check out the blog....it's my favorite! Lots of tips, tutorials, and contests.

I have become a Trained Sewing Instructor! This "...intensive 3-day course gives a solid background of business information,
instills confidence and assists in developing teaching skills through
interactive sessions."
I have also begun working on SewYouCan Sewing Salon! I talked with my friends at the American Sewing Guild and they are as excited as I am about sharing our love of sewing.
