Show and Tell - By Allegra & Brandy
Renaissance Mom: Jennifer Casa
"My mom is an avid quilter and taught me the fundamentals of sewing when I was in grade school, and then I learned to knit while I was an exchange student in Germany during high school. I picked up the rest on my own from books and through plenty of trial and error."
Fabric Flowers - By Linda Permann
"As the little sister who often got stuck with hand-me-downs, having my own new dress to wear—made from fabric that I chose—was a special treat"
Wrapped with Love: A Handmade Gift Bag - By Anne Weil
"Receiving lovingly hand-made gifts is hard to beat, unless you receive the gift in an equally beautiful reusable gift bag."
Turnaround Skirt
By Jennifer Casa
"This simple-to-make reversible skirt was inspired by the abundance of gorgeous print and patterned fabrics available today combined with my love of showcasing bold quilted stitches on neutral fabrics."
Little Sister
by Linda Permann
"Growing up, I was the youngest of four sisters, and my grandmother sewed us each a dress for every holiday and special occasion..."
Pearls and Diamonds
by Julia Vaconsin
"I had been wanting to design a children's garment using this bobble stitch for quite a while. The bobble stitch plus the beautiful cotton yarn made a great duo in creating this design."
