Good Tuesday to you! After a long and drawn out technology war with my computer today, I finally get to introduce a new sponsor – Double Decker Fabric! I met Dorienne online when I interviewed her last year for my Canadian Online Fabric Store series. She has a giveaway and a discount code for you today, so stay tuned!
Before we get to the giveaway, I thought it would be fun to pair some of Dorienne and my favorite tutorials with her fabric. I love finding out what other people’s favorite tutorials are. Sometimes I have seen them before, and sometimes (like with Dorienne’s today) I find a few new ones, and some new favorite bloggers too. I hope you enjoy the list!
