I have made a few videos to try and help people new to sewing get going on making face masks. I hope you enjoy them and find them useful.  My favorite is the Hold, Fold and Sew which teaches you an easy method for attaching fabric ties to your face mask.

Thank you MOOD! Did you know that you can order MOOD fabrics on-line. Yep you can. No it is not as fun as going there, but alas I do live in the Atlanta area and not NYC so I gotta do what I can.

Oceans of Thread in DeLand FL owned by a sweet friend of mine.

Stash Fabrics is online only, but they are great and helpful. 

Hart's Fabric out in Santa Cruz California is so fun. I have only been there in person once but such a nice shop hope I get to go back some day.

I have to give a shout out to my place of employment Intown Quilters Fabric & Yarn. We really do have cool stuff and great instructors. 

Gertie's Blog for Better Sewing.
I actually met her at the Sewing Studio in NYC, I was making an awesome dress, that she liked. She may or may not remember.Go check out the dress I made there if you are interested.

​MAKE Workshop - also in NYC
I took a class from Diana Rupp and she was super cool. Go here for a picture of us together.

Also when at MAKE I took a panty making workshop with designer Laura Mehlinger of Lola Haze. She rocks and I love her stuff. I just am not her target market, size wise.

Anna Maria Horner is my favorite fabric designer!
