From the beginning of blogging time Elizabeth and I have been constantly on the look out for how to make sewing, crafting, and homemaking affordable. We are always searching for deals and trying to find ways to save money. And heaven knows we have done everything from frequenting thrift stores to upcycling, to boarding an airplane with over 100 pounds of inexpensive fabric! But then when it comes time to post about our money saving adventures we feel badly that we can't share the bargains with ... View the Post

I immediately went home and practiced and practiced, and although I am not an expert like she was---I have ... View the Post
