Hello, Welcome and Happy Easter!
So... we sure have been busy since last we talked (and I mean that in the best possible way)! The Bella BiFold pattern was finally released and since then we've been working feverishly to get ready for the 1st AQS Paducah show since 2019 & it looks like this could easily be the largest gathering of vendors in one place since then also! We're pretty excited to get back to Paducah & I'm hoping to see many of YOU there! And with that, I'll get back to work and let you get to reading!  |

Surprisingly Practical Ways to Use Scotch Tape!
We all know the virtues of Scotch tape when wrapping gifts, connecting errant pieces of paper, and mending torn book pages. But it turns out we may be sleeping on some of this adhesive strip’s lesser-known, but no less useful applications. Here are a handful of creative ways to use it, beyond the basics. {Click image or HERE to read more}

Rest in Peace Estelle Harris- she's best known for her exaggerated shrill & grating comedic voice. She often worked as a voice actress in animation, voicing supporting characters and guest stars. Her best known roles were the obnoxious mother Estelle Costanza in the sitcom "Seinfeld" (which in particular is MY favorite) & the sweet wife Mrs. Potato Head in the "Toy Story" film series. {Click HERE to watch a video tribute.}

Learning to Sew at the End of the World!
If the beginning of the pandemic was marked by an army of amateur sewists dusting off their Singers and Husqvarnas to churn out cloth masks; the longer it drags on, the more it has given way to an entirely new cohort of people drawn to the generative ability to create something out of nothing.

We're Having a CloseOut Hardware Sale! |
So... here's how it went... we added the new twist locks to our product line when we released the Bella BiFold pattern, but when I went to find a place for our supply of twist locks to live I found that there was JUST... NO...ROOM!!! I mean NONE!
I've known this day was coming for quite some time now but I kept telling myself, "Maybe next month I'll have time to really go thru these things and reorganize?" But since there's ALWAYS something I'd rather be doing than cleaning & reorganizing, the situation has really gotten totally out of control!
Last week everything hit critical mass so first, I set about to re-organize the hardware area of my storage room... but then I realized that the storage cabinet next to my machine was also grossly mis-organized, which led me to realize that we had LOTS of hardware items taking up space in our inventory that were either associated with older retired patterns, or were purchased during the process of developing a new pattern, but set aside for one reason or another... which ultimately led to something that was long overdue...
A Major Inventory PURGE!
Which ultimately led me to realize that the only way out of this dilemma was to have a CLEARANCE SALE! That's right. All the items you see in the graphic above (and several MORE not shown) have been drastically reduced by 50-70% off the MSRP because I simply must free up some space!
So... click HERE to go to our new CloseOut Hardware Page to get in on some of the best buys on the Internet! Needless to say, all sales of closeout items are final & don't delay- there's a limited supply of some of these items, so the party won't last forever!
