Halloween is fast approaching, have you already prepared for the little gouhls and goblins that will be coming to your door? If you're hosting a party or haunted house , you may find this week's YouTube Video Of The Week helpful. The video shows you a quick and easy way to make a Halloween table runner. So you can create a fabulous dessert table or pumpkin table display. 
Continuing the theme of preparing for "sweater weather," don't forget to pull out your knitted hats for those bad hair days. It's quick and easy to crochet a simple hat. Though we haven't knitted one yet, we plan to attempt this "Gold Cable Hat" project from JoAnn's.
As summer comes to an end, it's time to start pulling out your warm winter/fall clothing. One of the standards of a fall wardrobe is a great sweater. We're not talking those lightweight, cheap sweaters, we're talking the thick, heavy knitted sweaters. The trick is to find one with lots of detailed cabling. But if you're going to go plain, make sure it's one with a great color combination to make your outfit stand out. Choose earth tone colors for a warm vibe.
Here's a dilemma we all face every now and then. You've gained a little weight but you're still using your old dress form because you either can't afford to buy a new one or you plan to loose the weight soon and don't want to buy a new one. Has this ever happened to you? It's a situation we're facing currently. As a result, we decided to do a bit of research on solutions and this week's Video Of The Week is what we found. The solution? Pad your dress form. Who knew it only takes a few things like rulers, pins, padding, bra, batting, and felt as explained in the video. Don't believe me? Just watch the video. 
Dramatic sleeves are loud. Simply put, " look at me!" So if you want to make a statement with your next outfit, go with a dramatic sleeve. Just make sure it's cute and stylish.
This week's video of the week is another good list maker of useful sewing tips. In it, we learned a new tip he had never heard of before. Have you ever thought to moisten the needle instead of the thread when threading your sewing machine needle? Just one of the useful things you'll learn from watching this quick video. If you have any tips you'd like to share, comment below and we may feature it in a future post! And until next week, happy sewing! 
As mentioned in a prophetic line from one of the Netflix trailers for The Crown, "The Crown must win. Must always win." And so it did, at the 2017 Emmys. For Costume Design that is. Though it received 13 overall Emmy nominations, surprisingly it won only a measly 3, including the win for Outstanding Periond/Fantasy Costumes For A Series, Limited Series Or Movie. Just as we predicted.
Dramatic sleeves are trending. Who doesn't love a simple, classic dress or blouse with a unique pair of dramatic sleeves to set the outfit off just right?
