Do the elf dance!

I love dancing. My friend the elf is a very talented dancer (Kate calls him Baxter but I call him dancing queen).

It's in the bag!

There are a lot of bag kits available for fall! Bags are a great way to learn new techniques without worrying about whether the finished product needs to fit. But, they often require a lot of finishing and findings that you wouldn't ordinarily use for a garment.

Photo behind the scenes & a contest!

To make things a little interesting, we've decided to make a game out of it. Can you guess what the product is we're shooting? (Hint: It's either a kit or a book project.)

Contest Directions: Emai… Continue
