Hello Readers. I was deep into Valentine's Day colors this year. I thought if I dyed this blouse I made pink it would be even more fun. I bought some pink Rit dye. You can use this dye in the washer but let's dye it on my stove.

Applique on Denim
Hello Readers. If there is one thing I love is a theme to follow when I think of sewing projects. Is it Valentine's Day soon? Than I am definitely going to sew at least one thing with a heart on it. I can't help myself. I have to do it. So read on for a simple project you can do for Valentine's Day.
I used my iron to stick this interfacing on the back of the fabric heart I was using. I just ironed them together following the directions on the package. It only took a couple minutes.
