From Sharon Madsen at WeAllSew: "While many like to ring in the New Year sparkling with satin and sequins, I enjoy wearing jeans and adding some glitz and glamor with accessories. No matter what you wear while celebrating the New Year, this easy-to-sew clutch bag is ready for any event. Sew it in denim with an eye-catching circular design created with metallic thread for extra sparkle, or sew a velvet one with a circular design and fringe created using decorative trims."
As the year winds down, everyone starts to make their lists of what the best items of the year are. That includes those in the quilting world as well as they compile lists of the best quilts they saw, the best sewing machines they worked with, and, in the case of BERNINA, their Top Five Best-Selling Presser Feet of 2023. What made the list? Do you have any of these feet?
From BERNINA: "Did you make the nice list this year? Then the BERNINA presser feet are sure to fill your stockings with great gifts! Our camera team was lucky enough to observe their secret Christmas activities. Have fun watching!"
