Welcome back for the second issue of Tidbits, my sewing advice column. You can read the first issue here, and don’t forget that you can use this form if you want to submit your own question. Today, I discuss alterations with our without seam allowances, seam finishes for curved seams, and selling (😮) your fabric stash. Grab your beverage of choice (mine is an expresso, no milk, no sugar), and let’s jump in!

Last week I suddenly got the idea that it would be fun to write an advice column. For my first post, I answer questions about sewing frosting rather than basics, including seam allowances in PDF patterns and what to do as a tester when you think the pattern being tested is bad. I also include the link to submit your own question at the bottom of this post. Let’s get started!

So I'm loosely participating, and I broke my personal pathetic record by wearing at least one me made garment per day around 10 days of the the month so far.

Welcome back for a new edition of Tidbits, where I gather links of what I enjoyed reading, watching and listening lately. This week is all about inner conflict and my naturally french contradictory spirit. You can blame it on my on-going binge watching of In Treatment. That show is seriously addictive!

It's been a while since I wrote the last Tidbits, but here we are. I had drafts sitting in my blog editor forever and I had to delete a lot of the links which I thought were not relevant anymore. But I kept some, that I thought were interesting anyway. I want to mention first that if you are like me and enjoy those round-up posts, my two favorite sources articles you won't find mentioned on all the other blogs are Oliver + S weekend links and the newsletter of Center for Pattern Design.

Welcome to the second edition Tidbits where I randomly link and talk about sewing and non-sewing things that have been on my mind lately! I really enjoyed the discussion and the links you shared on Tidbits #1 so I thought it would be worth to keep going...

The other day, I wrote about short-form content and I never thought that with the blog name I chose (many moons ago, on a whim and without particularly liking it), maybe that's what I meant to do all along!! So, welcome to Tidbits first edition, where I share stuff I saw, read, heard.
