As avid sewing enthusiasts know, details can make the difference between "So So" and SEW Fabulous!
This show is loaded with ideas for details you can incorporate into garments, quilts, and home decor. You'll gather some great ideas for details in show 1709!
The show starts with my Pillow Parade! Over the years I have made many pillows in all sizes, shapes and colors. Appliqué, machine embroidery, and trims have adorned these pillows and made each one unique.
I've been known to say that pillows are the quickest way to update a room. They're also a great decorator starter item. Just what do I mean by that? Well, if you're moving to a new space or starting off with new furnishings you may want to consider making, or planning accent pillows first, and then build the rest of the room around the colors or shapes found in your pillows. Of course, you can decorate in the opposite fashion, filling the room and then adding decorative pillows to tie the scheme together. Whether you're decorating from scratch or simply looking to freshen up a room I suggest you start with some pillows. I'm convinced you'll be pleasantly surprised how much they can make any room look new and fresh. You'll find a link to show notes for this segment plus a free Pillow Pointers tip sheet when you CLICK HERE.
Have any pillow stories of your own to share? I'd love to hear about them in the comments section.

She recommends a few specific items to fine tune the final outcome and achieve professional results with thicker threads and fabrics famous for topstitch details. CLICK HERE to download Jennifer’s instructions for this segment of the show.
June Mellinger is the next guest on the show. She's someone I admire greatly and consider a mentor in the field of sewing education. At the start of the segment you'll hear her say that's she's been a sewing educator for a long time. Retired from her role as Director of Education at Brother International, it's great to see her continuing to share her knowledge and expertise.
In this segment June shares valuable tips for stitching accurate seams on quilt blocks and turns her 9-patch block into a colorful fabric tray. You'll find June's instructions for this project when you CLICK HERE.
