My friend, Heather (music plays), is all about “keepin’ it real”–truthful online as well as in real life, not afraid of the good, the bad and the ugly.  I’ll keep it real and tell you that I’m terrible about pre-washing and I’ve cleaned my machine once in the past two years. I am, however, fiercely protective of my sewing scissors and have a stash of machine needles for every possible project. Just for fun, let’s be honest about our sewing habits. We all know there are a few best practices we should be following, but do you? Let’s see where we all land. Who knows, maybe we’ll come up with a few ideas for posts or a new resolution or two.
