CLEO Magazine
May 13th, 2010 | By Jen in Sewing | 8 Comments »
The lovely Kathleen, over at Australia’s Cleo magazine, contacted me a couple of months ago to contribute to an article about beginning sewing. Of course, I was delighted! And I just love how sewing is becoming a more desired skill and I firmly believe anyone with a little patience can learn to sew up at least something simple like an a-line skirt or tote bag. Anyway, I just received my very own copy in the mail (Thanks, Kathleen!) and I couldn’t wait to share it with you.
The article, “Sew Easy” (in the May 2010 issue), outlines some basic tools, tips for buying a sewing machine and getting started, and a glossary of terms that may be unfamiliar to a beginner. I must admit it’s a thrill to see one’s name in print and I can’t help but be amused (in a good way) by my quotes in the article such as “Read the pattern instructions before you begin ‘so there won’t be any surprises once you’re in the thick of it’…” Heehee!
And for those of you stopping by after reading the article (Hi!), you might be interested in these links as they are mentioned in Cleo:
» My Handkerchief Dress (to be continued)
» My Wedding Dress
Hope you all have a super weekend! I very much hope to be productive (sewing and painting-wise) but also rest up from a hectic work week. Any fun plans?
