I'm heading to Corpus Christi tomorrow to teach! So excited! So many new things are happening here at The Decorating Diva! We have new products coming, new classes, and a great new website all in the works! We're moving and shaking! Join us for the ride!

It's the second day of boot camp, and everyone is already sewing on their second window treatment! This group is truly dedicated, yet we're having a fun time. The weather has been great, and we're going to be eating lunch outside!  Keep posted for their progress and photos of their designs!

Stuff my Stocking Day 12

Today is the last day of my 12 day "Stuff my Stocking" promotion.  For the last day I'm offering something everyone can use, even if they don't sew! Yes, I know. . .there are people who don't sew. . .(but not anyone I know!!)

The Proportional Scale is a simple little tool that makes life so much easier! If you've ever sat at your copier making copy after copy, trying to re-size something, then you need this. Its great for resizing patterns, quilt designs, photographs and more. You can re-size from 1/2" to 50"! All you do is line up the inner wheel (your original size) with the outer wheel (your desired size), and the arrow points to the percentage where your copier needs to be set. Click here for the demo.

For example, the other day I wanted to enlarge an applique motif. My original was about 4-3/4" and I needed it to be 7-1/2". In the past, would have kept making copies enlarging a little each time, till it was too big, and back to reduce a little. Instead, I set my scale to line up me original size with my desired size and I only need to make one copy, saving time, ink and paper. And when you're resizing photos, this is especially valuable!

This is the perfect companion to my Cheaper by the Dozen book, to re-size valance patterns!

Stuff My Stocking with a Brass Stiletto!

Stuff my Stocking has been a fun and exhausting event for us. My staff (aka: Elves) have worked tirelessly to make sure everything is in your stocking. I am blessed to have such amazing women to work with me, as well as blessed to have you as friends and customers. Thank you! I expect today's special to be one hot item, as it always sells out in my classes. Today's "Stuff my Stocking" special is my brass stiletto. This must-have tool is made in the USA and carries a lifetime warranty. It's the best tool for speed sewing as you won't ever need to pin again! You can use it to guide fabric, keep layers together, turn corners on piping and more! Click here for demo.

This is the perfect sewing companion to the brass seam ripper, and makes a beautiful gift for any sewing friend. I call it "sewing jewelry".
