10lbs of buttons and the holy grail of vintage machines.... I've had amazing luck lately with donations.
From fabric to machines to buttons it seems that every time I turn around some wants to pass along a little love.... A few weeks back Sharon stopped by the PR offices with a HUGE bag of buttons for me. I had totally forgotten that she had promised me an old collection if she still had it. Well, let me tell you, this bag weighs 10lbs. It's been picked through a few times for the really special stuff so what's left is a lot of really great everyday wear buttons.
The photos don't really do justice to just how many buttons this is.... tons.. As you can see, nothing super crazy amazing.

I know it can get pretty confusing! Some of my premade bias tape, mostly vintage packages… Caila-Made: Tutorial and Tips: Sewing with Bias Tape. Well, folks, I finally have it for you: a tutorial on how to sew with bias tape.
I don’t know why it took me two weeks to get to it, but here it finally is. My last tutorial showed you how to make your own bias tape, so go grab that beautiful stuff and let’s get started. First, a disclaimer: There are many excellent tutorials out there on how to sew with bias tape. I’m not trying to reinvent the wheel here, but I do want to give you some tips on how to make your bias tape a success right from the very beginning.
