If you have come here for the RAC (random act of crafting) go down four posts and leave your comment there. Thank you for participating. I'll be drawing a name on Saturday.
Sewing in the scrapbook industry comes and goes. Me? I believe that is a matter of the heart. If you are so inspired that is the way the scrapbook. I don't believe in rules when it comes to my layouts. I realize that their are certain design concepts that help my layout to look balanced which make them more pleasing to me and others. The big RULE is the rule of thirds. Every scrapbook and design book writes about it so it is easy information to access. Well, back to sewing. I've been sewing on my layouts since before it was cool to sew on your layout! LOL I've quilted, machine sewed, and hand stitched with a great deal of joy in the process and the end results. This was a bit of a discussion on the Fiskateer site. So less preaching and more "gift to you."
These two pages are my "bible" of hand stitching. I know you can't see some of the "real" pictures, but how to do the stitch and what it should look like is clear. If you have questions leave them in the comment section and I'll try to answer them the best I can. My PEA Gallery has the best example of my hand sewing, ribbon sewing, and machine sewing.

Hi, I just found you from the Fiskateer Board, thanks for the sewing inspiration! I really like your blog! I've been trying to teach myself to sew lately and have been using it a little here and there. I also do the daily 5 things to be grateful for everyday it really helps you keep your perspective doesn't it?
