OMG! Poor Ralphie! Hope he doesn't get a complex by the end of October! LOL! Seriously.... too cute!

The bias direction of a piece of woven fabric, usually referred to simply as "the bias", is at 45 degrees to its warp and weft threads.


Sewing kit: Look at kits, you get quite a few useful items a bit cheaper... some are kind of cheesey though.

Def a magnet for picking up pins quickly if you drop or spill them.

Tomato Pin cushion w/ strawberry ... the strawberry contains emery dust and you can stick pins and needles in it to sharpen them.

I bought the longer quilting pins... with my old hands I find them easier to handle.

Ribbons, trims and buttons for embellishing.

Hand sewing needles, for things you can't do on the machine.

I have an assortment of measuring devices for making scallops, pleats, and different shaped overlays.

If you plan on using a rotary cutter, you will need a self healing mat to cut on.

I'll be sewing tonight .... I'll post more then. Maybe with pics! Lol!
