What I've learned last week #37

by April 18, 2015

The last couple of months, I've learned a lot of things online. I'd like to share a couple of those with you. Maybe they can help you too. #1 Liesl and Todd of Oliver+S share the results of their customer survey on the subject of paper patters vs. PDF's. They also explain how they will continue paper patterns and why. #2 Megan Nielsen teaches how to make scrap yarn. I want a basket. #3 I secretely admire people who embroider for their patience. This is a great podcast with Rebecca Ringquist. She talks all things embroidery with my favorite host: Abby Glassenberg on the While She Naps podcast. #4 This is often used in lingerie making, but also useful when your fabric refuses to press into shape: edgestitching. #5 My friend and business partner Caroline shared why she started to work in a non-creative field again. Sometimes, loving what you do simply isn't enough. What did you learn last week?
