Clear as Night and Day
The rain ceased, and the clouds parted. And, in that interval, we looked skyward for design inspiration this week! The sun and the moon and the stars set the scene for some fantastic designs that sprinkled stardust all over our sewing room. Sure to light up your life, these Night and Day designs will ignite your sewing, make you smile, and tickle the little ones in your life. New shirt sets and purse sets take on a celestial flair with suns, moons, and stars. Beautifully designed in adult and children's sizes, they'll be outstanding for both nightshirts and "day" shirts, and a splendid reminder to keep balance in our lives. These designs are so versatile that once you get your creative hands on them, you'll come up with dozens of other ways to use them. We discovered something delightful - the purse set designs can be applied to a travel kit - the checkbook cover design makes a perfect eyeglass case! As always, free project instructions guide you while using the shirt set designs. Click here to see how to arrange the designs to turn an ordinary shirt into a wearable piece of art.
