There is a lot of chatter out there about pressing these days. Over the years, fabric has gotten higher in quality and thicker as a result. This has made for some very hefty seams that can be bulky, won’t lay flat and are hard to work with…. So what’s the fix? Well, I’m glad you asked ;) Here is an adorable llama quilt that has quite a bit of piecing in the face. Some of these pieces are the size of a postage stamp! The fabric used is a heavier linen/cotton blend that makes for great texture,

Pressing… smashing… applying… no matter which word you use, there are a lot of ways to decorate a t-shirt with a heat press. Today, there are hundreds of different transfer options ranging from glittery film to stretch vinyl prints and everything you could imagine in between.

Pressing is one of those often-overlooked steps in sewing, but trust me—it’s worth it. Sure, it might feel like an extra hassle at the time, but it’s the secret to achieving a perfectly finished garment. So, what exactly is pressing, and why does it matter? Unlike ironing, which involves gliding the iron back and forth...

A Matter of Issue by Carollyne Haynes takes a closer look at family relationships, elder abuse, and the problems that can occur when children allow greed and avarice to cloud their judgment of their family, once money becomes involved. It asks important questions such as when does caring become controlling and what rights do the elderly often lose when they rely on their children for care? Charles has worked hard all his life and created a nice little investment portfolio for his retirement. The death of his wife has hit him hard and his health is on the decline. Enter son Kirk and his wife, who live in the same town as Charles. They will provide the much-needed help Dad needs, but at what cost? Other son, Bill, and his family live off the island, on the mainland, and are unable to keep too close a check on what Kirk and his wife are up to. When an old friend, Mary, now a widow, reenters Charles’ life and romance blossoms, all hell breaks loose amongst the children. I found A Matter of Issue to be a sensitive look at what is doubtless a common problem right across all western cultures. The characters were well drawn, almost to the point of caricature, with the “evil” Kirk and his sense of entitlement balancing beautifully against the rational, caring brother, Bill. With a number of clever little side plots, Haynes has done a wonderful job of wrapping her story around some very big and very underrated societal issues that affect our ever-aging population. With Haynes not afraid to be ruthless in her arcs, I found A Matter of Issue to be an excellent family drama that highlighted a pressing concern. Kudos to the author for this story whose time has come.

I’ve had this idea for a cloud mobile tutorial for months now, but there was always something more pressing to do (I should clarify that, in most cases, neither the mobile nor the more pressing matter was accomplished). This was actually a very easy little project, I’m surprised to say. You never know, when you delve into something new, whether it will go as planned or end up in the unfinished pile in the corner of the closet (along with the partially knitted baby blanket).
