VIDEO: How to Sew a Straight Stitch by Hand
Sometimes I don't feel like using my sewing machine.
I just want to sew something quickly. Or I don't want to run to the fabric store for more sewing machine thread if I have just enough thread for a small project.
Sometimes I just want to whip out my sewing needle and thread.
Here's a useful video for days you want to be unplugged from the sewing machine

Five Things I Never Knew about Scissors
As I used my favorite pair of Fiskar sewing scissors yesterday, I wondered about the background of scissors. Here are a few interesting tidbits and knowldedge found on Wiki:
1) Scissors were invented by Leonardo da Vinci
2) You could find people in Japan playing rock-paper-scissors game in the 19th century
3) Scissors were probably invented in Egypt circa 1500 BC (hmmmm...see #1)
4) Buy sewing scissors at a fabric store and not an office supply store
5) Sewing scissors often have a sharp point blade and a blunt point blade
#4 and #5 are more "oh yeah, that's true" than never knew facts. #5 hit me as a truisim after I looked at my Fiskar scissors and realized that I hadn't thought about the blades after using sewing sewing scissors for years.
