Welcome to Your Sewing & Handwork School--we're so glad you're here. Take a moment to introduce yourself in the comments below. You can share as much or as little as you'd like, but here are a few pormpts to get you started: - What's your name and where are you joining from? - Which crafts do you enjoy (sewing, embroidery, knitting, crocheting...or all of the above)? - What are you currently working on--or hoping to learn? - what drew you to handwork or this community? This is a friendly, encouraging space, so feel free to jump in, say hello, and connect. You never know who you might inspire--or become friends with.

I finished this little knitted baby sweater for my soon to be granddaughter, expected to arrive in March. It was fun to use this variagated yarn. It did some crazy striping! I also made popcorn stitches throughout. I love making small things because of the quicker satisfaction of having it finished!

This is a wall hanging I designed using scraps and rescued fabrics. It's perfectly imperfect, which I love. It's all handsewn with simple stitches.

I have way too many projects, but I'd love to see what you all are working on! Here's a picture of one of my many projects. I'm embroidering on a jacket I got at a Christmas party. The foundation will wash away with water.
