This week was full of fun goings on at the shop! Thanks so to everyone who came out to get their scissors sharpened. Also a big thank you to everyone who came to the free class! I really really hope that you enjoyed yourself and that you learned some new things and approaches to fitting. We're going to try and start doing some favorite link round-ups every week or so. This just keeps you abreast of things in the online community as well as tying back into things that are talked about in the classes here at Yellow Bird.


For those of you interested, I (Sunni) am running a Fitting Series on my blog. You can find all the posts so far here.

A wonderful post on Blanket Stitches! Aren't these glorious? What a wonderful idea for sitting down on a cold evening and doing some handwork.

This post by Sallieoh is simply a revelation to those interested in getting their hands into dying fabric. Not to mention we have wonderful fabrics with which to dye in the shop.

In Wednesday's free class, I talked about becoming a member Pattern Review. If you're not familiar with this site, know that its free to become a member and there is tons and tons of useful reviews of thousands of sewing patterns from sewers like you and me. Not to mention you can start adding your own. Plus there's online classes you can sign up for and they have lots of sewing patterns and several sales too.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
