    Repairing Fur?

    With the holidays rapidly approaching and many in a tight spot, how many of us are trimming the gift budget this year? In my home, we are focusing more on spending time together than spending money on each other. Looking back on my childhood, I always looked forward to quilts and hand knit...

    cleaning the sewing room: patterns notions and books

    Updated: it's time to clear out a bit. Griest ruffler foot patent #2593519. I believe this originally was with a Viking machine. I'm using a Bernina and it won't fit. $15 I vaguely recall purchasing this Singer attachement based on fond memories of using my mother's. It turned...

    I was wondering if anyone knows of a place that serves a good Monte Cristo Sandwich. Here in Portland would be great but after so much searching I would be willing to plan a trip. The mister hasn't had a good Monte Cristo since his favorite haunt changed from a vintage/Three Stooges motif to a...
