https://www.facebook.com/groups/ProjectorsForSewing/With the Holidays right around the corner and Black Friday only a few days away I've been busy building my wish lists the past few days. I am constantly finding new and cool tools that I want to try and much to my husbands frustration am horrible at waiting for holidays or birthdays to get them. 😬 So when asked for my list every year I draw a complete blank 😫 This year I reached out to everyone in the Ash and Elm Facebook Group for help and I decided to share some of our FAVORITES with you! 😘 Projector: If...

PLUS I really wanted to do the...

Come Deck the Halls with Ash and Elm this Holiday Season

EVERY year I decide I am going to make mostly homemade gifts for everyone on our list. I pour through Pinterest and Facebook groups putting together the PERFECT makes for each person. I spend HOURS getting a plan put together, shopping my stash for the exact right fabrics, and putting a list together of the things I need to grab to be able to complete my makes. I spend so much time and energy doing all that that by the time I need to start sewing to have it all done and sent to everyone in time I'm exhausted and...
