  Who is ready for some spring sewing? I am! This lovely linen top is a good beginner pattern. I used natural shell buttons on this 100% linen fabric. It is elegant and easy wearing, perfect for an over-jacket. close up of the topstitching buttonhole and button topstitching at the sideseam

Are you ready for another one day project? This adorable vintage top took only 2 hours! (If you are a beginner sewist expect it to take longer.)   I show how to add a lining for better coverage.  Pattern: Simplicity 5555 Fabric: Polyester jersey knit from JoAnn Fabrics Machine: Bernina 770QE

You can never have enough scrunchies! I find that almost every project I make I will have a scrap the right size to make scrunchie to match. This is a great beginner project. Lengthen the fabric strip for a more gathered scrunchie. Reduce the elastic length for a tighter scrunchie. To make the size I did you need: a strip of fabric 22" by 3" 1/4" wide elastic 9" long
