I have told people to use a blow dryer to release creases in their clear vinyl—I finally made a video showing how it works!
I showed this in class and one student says that she soaks her vinyl in her tub in very hot water, then hangs it to dry. That works. You can also place it in the back seat of a hot car.
Yesterday in Time Out I showed my work space. I don’t have a giant space, but I do have enough space. And now that I think of it, my small-is space keeps me from acquiring more stuff than I really need. It’s a win!
Kerri is this week’s luck winner and she will receive a set of Yazzii Craft pouches. I love all things Yazzii because they are so very functional while being pretty, and totally useful. These handy dandy zip pouches are constructed in the same way as the pouches that come inside other Yazzii Organizers. Use them with other organizers or on their own. I love them! The set includes 3 sizes of pouches: 7″ x 7″, 6″ x 6″, and 5″ x 5″.
I’ll be back with another Giveaway next Wednesday. Until then you can shop for all sorts of sewing notions, books, and other fun stuff at pieceocake.com!

Nancy Hom is this week’s luck winner! She will receive a Classic Pencil Set which includes a graphite pencil, a white charcoal pencil, and a 2-step sharpener. I use these tools nearly every time I need to mark on fabric. You can find each individually on my site or in a set, like you see here.

Kristina asked me to talk about needles in Time Out and that’s what I did yesterday, May 19. Here it is, in case you missed it. (If there is something you would like me to talk about in time out, send me an email.
Martha Bigley commented to remind me that the needles shown in the Needle Guide are life-size. That is really helpful and I wish I had mentioned that in the video. I will add, though, that needles vary in thickness and length from company to company which means that your mystery needles may not match those in the guide. But it definitely does point you in the right direction!
