It's a jam packed episode with me, Stephanie Socha! There are a lot of projects on my table, and I'm in the completion phase of a couple of quilts. Find out what portable hand sewing project I took with me to jury duty last week, plus learn about hand sewing with silk thread.
I present a semi-review of the newer Singer Featherweight C240. I say "semi" because I have not actually sewn on this machine, but have done extensive research on this little gem of a machine since I recently learned about it.
I also talk about some Mother's Day or any day handmade gift ideas.

Have you ever taught a kid how to sew, quilt or craft? We often hear from adults on how to teach children how to sew and craft, but on this episode, we get a glimpse of what it is like to be a kid learning how to sew from my 10 year old niece, Ava. I started teaching Ava to sew when she was a wee 5 year old, and since then she has learned how to sew an accurate seam allowance, how to thread her machine, fill a bobbin and load it the right direction, and how to keep her machine clean after each use so that it runs smoother for her on each project. Ava also shares her recent makes, and her creative process as she continues to build on her sewing skills and her favorite things to make. She also discovered her new favorite fabric - cork. In addition to Ava, I share updates on new Babylock sewing machine and serger releases this month, Bernina is now selling their gold plated presser foot (anniversary limited edition) online, as well as a prelude to my exciting retreat I am attending this week! I want to hear from you!
