10 & 10 Series Starts Today on Sew4Home

Our friends at Sew4Home bring you truly creative ideas for using fabrics as well as very helpful and educational sewing tips.  Last year we had a lot of fun with Sew4Home producing our Romantic Bedroom Retreat in which we showed you how to mix and match different designer's fabrics and different types of fabrics like voiles and cotton sateens, etc.  We also ended the year with a Holiday Home series offering some fun gift and home decorating ideas.

Now, we are kicking off the  New Year with a brand new series. We've selected 10 Designers and 10 Collections to create several how-to tutorials plus an awesome Great Giveaway,in the end. So get ready to mix it up for the new year, and make a resolution to try something new for yourself. We start with a bold clutch with a beautiful big ball clasp. Dress it up or dress it down. We made three, using six beautiful fabrics from Joel Dewberry's Notting Hill collection for FreeSpirit Fabrics.
