SHINY HAPPY WORLD

If you want to try sewing but do not know where to start go to Shiny Happy World. Wendi Gratz has created an amazing blog with lessons, patterns, and great ideas.  She even has video tutorials to go with every pattern. Her patterns are inexpensive and easy to follow and most are an easy download right from your email and you can get started right away.  I use many of her patterns for the things I create and they are by far my favorite over all the other patterns I have used.  Sewing is a great way to relax and de-stress (unless you get a knot or a jam in your machine - and then just take a deep breath and pour yourself a glass of wine while you slowly and patiently get all the kinks out!) It really is like therapy, and when you are done you have something beautiful that you have created all on your own.  HAPPY SEWING!
