How to style a Tie Scrunchie

 It's always fun to have a fresh new accessory. I just listed a bunch of new Scrunchies for sale in my ETSY shop. But lets get to what I really want to talk about today and that is HOW to STYLE a Tie Scrunchie. My friend Summer at Space Coast Foodies and I got together to give you some tie scrunchie styling ideas.

How to Make a Tie Scrunchie: Free Pattern Sheet

Hello! I'm continuing our How To Teach a Sewing Class series today and I'm here to share a resource for teaching a  How to make a Tie Scrunchie class. Teaching a class is so much fun! I love teaching people to sew! One of the tips I gave in my Sewing Class planning post was to simplify the steps of the pattern and write them down so  your students have an at-a-glance reference when you are busy helping someone else.  This is especially helpful when you are trying to teach a lot of people at once. Perhaps you'd like to use it to teach your own Tie Scrunchie class?  Or download it for your own reference as you are making tie scrunchies at home.

How to teach a Sewing Class - 10 Tips to Help You Plan

Hello!! Last week I had the fun opportunity to teach a group of ladies at church how to make pillowcases.  I love teaching people to sew! I often get asked by people wanting me to teach them. I always say YES but people rarely take me up on my offer. Over the years I've taught many group sewing classes at my church and in my home or at a quilt shop and today I'm sharing a few things that I have learned to make teaching a sewing class run smoothly.

I've spend my extra time during covid this year mostly painting every bit of my house. But I have been able to carve out a little time to piece some quilts. I did an inventory as I moved my sewing space and found that I have FIVE quilt tops that I never quilted. Gotta get on that! But today I wanted to share a little something that has made cutting all those strips and blocks SOOOOO much easier.  Have you heard of TrueGrips?

Christmas Crafting: DIY Candy Cane present topper

 Just under two weeks until Christmas! December always flies by, doesn't it? I was looking back through my Christmas posts over the years and I found this cute DIY Felt Candy Cane tutorial my sister Rachel did a few years back. I always think its fun to make a little ornament as a gift topper and this one is just so cute with a green tag sitting next to it and some simple twine.

If you want to make a candy cane you can find the tutorial HERE. 

Big kids can even make this craft if you help them with the hot glue gun. You could also use it as a little teacher gift or tie it around a napkin for your Christmas table. Anyway, just thought I'd share. I'm off to make some zipper pouches and then Christmas PJs. Hoping to have them all done by the time my big kids return and take over my workroom, which is only a couple of days away. What are you making for Christmas this year?

Happy Making!
