The newsletter begins shipping tonight just before midnight and stops the last day of September - so don't miss out!In June, I blogged about making draw string gift bags to hold knitting, and other craft accessories. I thought everyone learned how to make draw string bags when they first learned to sew. Guess what? I had tons of emails from friends asking how do you make a draw string bag like that? This project is in honor to the girls of Edison who HAD to sew that bag in school to compliment the ugliest dress. If you sew today, it is a tribute to hope and a miracle of perseverance! I am thinking that the dress was a nightgown because it was too ugly to be seen in public and the draw string bag was where we were to store it, or use as a burial sack! I encourage you to make a few wine bags for the holidays and raise a glass to all those who survived "home economics" back then!
