Skirts are so versatile! You can make them in so many ways for me personally, I have a petite frame so short, tailored, A-line skirts look best. Recently, I bought another Craftsy sewing kit and made the McCall #6361 skirt from Robert Kaufman's Railroad denim fabric. It has a zipper fly so this was a new skill to learn. I watched this video tutorial instead of actually following the pattern directions. This is the easiest way to install a zipper fly, especially for a skirt. The first skirt was such a success, I made two more! This one is made from white denim fabric. I bought it from JoAnn's, here is a tip. I knew I needed a little more than one yard of fabric.

Have you ever wanted to get a design you have made on your computer digitize to sew with your embroidery machine? The software for digitizing your own designs is very expensive. Plus, the time it takes to understand how to use the software. If you are like me, 9 times out of 10, I just need to resize or move images around. Recently, I was asked to embroider a few aprons with this image.  I emailed the shop owner of Sweet as Lemon and Honey and she quickly responded. She was able to digitize the files so that my embroidery machine would stitch the image for me.  Here are a few tips to help you get your digitized design made quickly.... Know what type of files your Embroidery Machine uses. For instance; PES, JEF, XXX, EXP, VIP, or DST. Know how large you want your embroidery design to be.
