How to sew a hanging tea towel

Do you like to keep a tea towel handy at your oven door, only for it to slip and fall off?

I have started sewing these towels and never want to go back to my old ones. Not only are they functional but also super pretty in your kitchen.

If you love all things peplum and ruffles then changes are that you are doing tons of gathering in your sewing endeavours.

While there are many different ways to achieve a beautifully spcaced ruffle or gather, the serger method is my absolute favorite one.

It's fast, it's easy and it looks amazing.

Enclosing a Neckband on Your Knit Garment

Looking for unique ways to elevate your handmade garments?

I love the added detail that enclosing the neckband on your knit top gives.

It’s a fun way to add extra design elements, use a little scrap of precious fabric or highlight a special selvedge edge.

It is also a quick way for the wearer to easily tell which is the back. Using this technique also encourages the seam allowance to lie flat without topstitching the whole neckband.
