One of these photos is of my darling granddaughters at our church festival/picnic.  I think they look very sweet in their matching dresses!

What a wonderful Trunk Show we had from Jaye West of Dragonfly Designs!  Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful samples with us, Jaye!
We also had an inspiring Trunk Show from Nashville Cotton Company to get our creative juices flowing for, and I hate to say it, our back-to-school sewing.  Yes, before you know it school bells will be ringing once more.  How I miss those much simpler days!

Slipping Hoop? More "Hand" Sewing Sense...

An inexpensive and quick “no-sew” way to prevent your embroidery hoop from slipping is to wrap your hoop with athletic “pre-wrap”. You can purchase it at your local sporting goods store. “Pre-wrap” is a foam-like stretchy material, which sticks to itself when gently stretched. It’s about 2” wide and is purchased by the roll. If you go to the sporting goods store and the clerk has no idea what you want, tell them that you want the material that football players “pre-wrap” their legs or wrists with. They use this material before taping with athletic tape as it prevents the athletic tape from sticking to their skin. “Pre-wrap” can be applied to the outer or inner hoop (I wrap the outer hoop) by just gently stretching and wrapping as you work you way around the hoop. When you reach the end, just pull a little tighter and tear, the tape “end” will stick to itself. When your pre-wrapped hoop begins to fray, simply remove that section and re-wrap. It lasts a long time. This method is fast and requires no hand stitching to keep it in place as does twill tape binding.

The pattern is Donald from Maja’s Heirlooms and will soon be available in our “Kits” category!  Click on the photo to take you to the Pink Bunnies fabric! Made and submitted by Kristen B..
