Giveaway No. 10! Don’t miss your chance to enter to win all of the giveaways! There have been 2 giveaways each day this week and there will be 3 today! (Find out more or Link to all of the posted giveaways)
Today’s second giveaway is from Canadian National Fabric. I was really excited to find more fabric for my “Little Red” collection from them earlier this year!
Bebe’s Sewing Tip: The majority of my quilts come from patterns I find in magazines or books. When I’m working on a pattern from a magazine (or book) I find it a pain to have to keep looking back and forth at a magazine/book that’s sitting on a table. I’m always losing my spot on the page or the page flips. Depending on how many different cuts I have to make I have two things that help me.
1) I use a recipe book holder to hold my magazine/book while I’m working. This stops the pages from flipping and I find it easier to look at instructions when they are upright. I also use those reusable “sign here” labels that are used for documents to keep my place on the page. As I complete a cut I move the arrow to the next one.
2) Depending on how many different cuts I have to do sometimes I transfer the cutting instructions onto a dry erase board and erase as I do the cuts.
In this giveaway, two fortunate readers will win a $25 Gift Certificate (CDN funds) to Canadian National Fabric!
