At the prospect of the mainstream sewing programme, this reviewer began to get rather excited.
With a past life predisposition , this reviewer has always been interested in arts and crafts but there is not enough information out of there in this particular hobby to get people involved in the modern age.
Often, teens might assume that no one under the age of 70 takes up this fantastic past time, but that is not true and here is why.
A thrift store, is basically another modern term for a charity shop. A place to donate your old products for the benefit of others.
Everything from clothes, electrical items and furniture can be donated and they are definitely the place to go!
The popular rap artist, Macklemore, has recently showcased examples with his very catchy hit, Thrift Shop sending sales through the roof.
I bought a playsuit yesterday, on a trip around town, but on my way home the carrier back that the playsuit was in got snagged on a railing which impaled the bag and even worse, created holes on the shoulder of my playsuit! I was absolutlely devastated. What on earth would I do now?
So, after a little think, i decided to this would make a great post to add to my website.
I began by measuring the affected area, which was on the back of the playsuit.
After this, I had a look in my ribbon box for some black ribbon that would measure up to the size that I wanted it and luckily I found some straight away.
I cut off two strips that measured in the length I needed them.
Then I placed them on to the back side of the playsuit, one on each strap so that they would match, and I pinned them into place.
Then I back- stitched the ribbons into place.
Its as simple as that and I’ve got to say, personally I think it looks great. You can’t even tell!

IS there a clear conception of arts and crafts?
Is sewing an art form? Is baking just a craft?
How can we define the difference?
