Tulips and Heather
I would love to introduce to you a fairly new blog called Tulips and Heather This is my most amazing daughter-in-law's blog. She is one of the most talented, smart, beautiful young women I know. The moment Ron brought her home to visit us, even though it was past 11PM at night, it was like the sun came out in the house and it didn't set until she left. Because of the distance they are from us, visits will be very rare and most precious, so I am especially pleased to see bits and pieces of their lives by way of her blog. You might enjoy seeing some of her great ideas as well!

National Sewing Month
September is National Sewing Month!
I'd like to invite you to our store, Moonwishes Sewing
and Crafts to shop for your sewing pattern needs. We have been listing like
crazy the last couple of months and have close to 7800 different patterns in
all styles and sizes listed at this point. We have a great selection of costume patterns for the upcoming Halloween and also
patterns for church Christmas pageants and choir robes. Yesterday I was busy
restocking our Women's Plus size patterns and if you check in the Unisex Pattern category of our patterns you will find even
some larger extended size patterns if needed.
We work hard to maintain a large selection of patterns so our customers have a broad choice all in one spot. I also enjoy comparing patterns from current times to those in the past. Some are uncannily the same and others show styles that come around every couple of decades. I've noticed that peplums are coming back in style and the latest Threads Magazine, issue 163, ran an article on designing and adding a peplum to your garment. Peplums were very popular in the 1980's and we have many patterns that feature peplums that you could use for inspiration and a pattern itself, only watch out for the shoulders on these garments! Nothing better than to mix and match pattern pieces and come up with a great outfit. My favorite summer dress is a combination of a Vogue jumper and Simplicity flutter sleeves.
