Sewing with Silk by Sandra Betzina

I have long admired the talents of sewing guru Sandra Betzina and I found this video on YouTube for her tips (and they are there right to the end -don’t click off!) on sewing with silk.

I also found Sandra’s new website Power Sewing and for the very first time I considered paying for a membership site. Sandra has two wonderful things going for her – many years of real sewing experience *and* an intriguing and easy personality. Unpretentious and helpful with every word, I highly recommend her books and videos. You can even follow her on Twitter!

In fact, if you have 20 minutes to learn a day’s worth of sewing tips *and* be inspired to make some lovely home dec pillows out of any old thing! the check out her free tutorial it kept me hanging on every word!
