I’m getting ready to launch a new idea and I need your help. Dust off your best, most useful, unbelievably clever sewing tips. Write them up all pretty, put a bow on top, (a hi-res picture would be amazing but is not required) and send them to my attention: kathy {at} pinkchalkfabrics {dot} com.
I’ll select one idea a week to feature in the Pink Chalk Fabrics newsletter and here on the blog. If we use your idea you’ll receive a $25 Pink Chalk Fabrics Gift Certificate along with attribution and a link to your blog/website/shop. Yes, good sewing tips are that valuable!
I have no idea what to expect as far as a response. My hope is there will be ongoing participation and entries. I plan to keep whatever tips you send in so I always have a pool to select from. If your idea isn’t selected immediately it may be featured down the road.
Bonus work for Wordsmiths: I haven’t decided on a name yet for the weekly feature. Give me your best in the comments. Same deal: $25 gift certificate if your idea is used.
Please leave any questions in the comments and I’ll answer them.
Thank you!
Chalk Tips For Modern Sewists
What a great idea.. wish I had some tips to offer, I am still new to sewing!
For perfect hand-stitching, run your quilt though a threadless machine first, stitching the lines where you want to fill with handstitching later. You can mark the lines or patterns on your quilt first. Then use those teeny needle holes as your guide when stitching by hand. EUREKA – ah ha!!
Naming the weekly feature: “Haberdashery” or “Pin Points”
The Sewist Times!
Still looking for a name?
What about Chalky Talk
The 45mm rotary cutter blades fit perfectly in the York Peppermint Pattie breath mint tins. The lids fit tightly so no fear you blade will fall out. I keep a tin in my sewing supplies in case I ever have to replace a blade when I’m away from home.
