Sewing tips and tricks

Many thanks to Cheryl for sharing this YouTube video which demonstrates a simple and inexpensive way to attach zipper pulls to zipper by the yard. 
Tip from Elaine: before bed apply cherry Chapstick to finger tip splits and slip on a pair of gloves to sleep. 
Tip from Dara: wash denim fabric well before sewing to lesson the chances of the dye transferring to other surfaces. 
Tip from Elaine: avoid using fabric softener on fleece to prevent pilling.

Our favorite fabric shops and food stops
