Candy Allen, contributor | March 4th, 200919 comments

I find whenever you have mass quantities of anything, it's a lot easier to come up with ideas for their use. After finding loads of vintage sewing supplies and receiving some as gifts, I thought I should no longer 'hem'and haw about prettying up my place.
