Skirt Sucess!

Over the weekend, I finished sewing a skirt. I had the hardest time perfecting the invisible zipper although the pattern was very simple. Learned to overcast, do darts and attached an invisible zipper .... overall a success!

Needle Book

First things first! Needle organization.  After procrastinating for so long, I am back to square one. The hard part is I couldn't figure out right away what needle size is attached into my machine and I thought there should be a solution to this!

One day I was browsing Thread Magazine and one lady had the same problem I have. She used a tomato pincushion and marked each section with different needle size. Each time she attaches the needle to her sewing machine, she'll put a glass-head pin in the pincushion in its place. So I decided to use the same concept, I made myself a needle book and on it are pages marked with needle sizes.
