I live in Salina ks and use to quilt. Now I just do cross stitch. I made a grandmother's flower garden quilt. Sewing them together was great while traveling. Hope you have a great trip!

    Place a folded towel on your ironing surface. Place your cross stitch piece WRONG side up and press from the back! Buttons will sink into toweling and be cushioned while the background remains flat for perfect pressing! Good luck. Have a great adventure. Good to see you back!

    Your trip sounds FANTASTIC!

My husband was pretty tentative about it as I made the plans, but during and after he’s sung its praises! We stayed in hotels; your way sounds much more fun!!! Safe travels!

    Sounds like a great adventure Cindy!!! I was sooooo happy to hear that you are running across older camping ladies in their 60's and 70's. When I retire in 3 years, I plan on buying my dream tiny camper and using it to do nothing but camp at retreats across the country instead of staying in hotels. My hubby says I'm nuts because I act like I'm 30 and not 60 but as long as I'm healthy, I'm gonna make it happen!! Safe travels and I'll definitely be watching! Hugs from NE Ohio.

    Hi Cindy, I am new to sewing and have tried my hand at your project bag tutorial. I was wondering if you can go into more detail regarding the lace zipper and how to line it up correctly and how to sew it in place. I am one of those people that need closer visuals since I am so new to sewing. I do want to try making the project bag again😊

    • @cindysadventuresinstitching
      @cindysadventuresinstitching Місяць тому

      I will sure try to answer your questions. I always try to place my needle to sew in the holes of the fancy zipper. Check that there is room to open the teeth of the zipper before you begin to sew. Make sure your zipper is at least an inch and a half longer on each side. That way, you don't have to stress that you'll run out of zipper on the sides. The bottom of the zipper is easier to sew than the top because its a straight stitch. Another reason a longer zipper is good is it gives you more room to sew the top part of the zipper to the bag. Again, position your zipper so the needle goes through the holes of the fancy zipper. I hope this helps. Good luck. With anything, practice makes you better. My first bag, I didn't "catch" the fabric on the side and had to redo it. Twice! 😁

Yours design are nice, your storage are very practical. I am happy to see you. I don't know the price of linen in America is it but in France it's horribly expensive. 50 euros to 70 euros per meter. I can't have it. I must find one in a garage sale. Happy stitching 🥰
