I have to admit I’m not a seamstress by any means but I do have all of the items you need for a quick sewing project. The problem was all my sewing items were everywhere in plastic baggies and I had to hunt to find them in my craft studio. So, I decided to create this “Sew Pretty” sewing box and now I can find everything I need in one place. I hope you give this project a try. Have fun! Lisa~
