Andy was being super-sneaky and grabbed this shot of me working on the “5 Rules of Sewing” banner. Do you know the 5 rules? We write these on the white board in our sewing classroom every year when summer camp starts.

- Two eyes and two hands on the machine.
- Three back stitches at the beginning and end.
- Hold your ends.
- If it makes a funny noise, STOP.
I used a bunch of kid-dyed fabric to make a portable version of the rules so we can take it on the road. We are working on the “5 rules of Ironing” for next year.

Wrinkles are my style statement.
Ohhhh, you meant ironing as part of sewing. Let’s see. Nope, my mantra still applies.
