I had the opportunity to talk sewing with my friend Janice Ferguson on my most recent Sew . . . Tell Me YouTube Live show. We had a great time and the live chat was full of friends enjoying the conversation, loving all the great sample photos and enjoying the great tips Janice shared with everyone.
I invite you to watch the replay below, and then follow up with the information included below the video.

Janice is well known for her heirloom sewing expertise, with a long history of designing, writing, and teaching for well known heirloom magazines such as Martha Pullen's Sew Beautiful magazine and Creative Needle. Sad to say, neither of those are being published these days. If you have old issues you know how valuable each and every one of them was.
In more recent years, you can see Janice's beautiful work published on Stitching Sewcial, the official Brother blog. Her projects span a wide the range of items, including children's wear, home decor, and stunning gift projects, with each project chock full of tips and detailed instructions.
Many of the projects highlighted during the live show are from the Brother blog. I've included some specific photos from the show with links for you below. Simply click the image to go to each project page and see Janice's projects with complete instructions.
