It's here! Have you received the new issue of Classic Sewing yet? If not, watch your mailbox cause it's coming, and yet again it's eye candy for the soul! Every page is a delight, and I'm amazed at all the wonderful patterns and designs that are included. One of the free downloads for subscribers is the pouch and 16 game pieces from It's a Match.

I felt a bit nostalgic making this set, as I really miss my own school days! You know me - I loved school, as a student and as a math teacher, so this matching game is right up my alley. The whole set includes the pouch, 20 cards that represent most subjects, and a game board quilt. It's a Match is on sale this week.

The new school year is coming up quick (how is that even possible - it was spring just two seconds ago!), so get out some scraps of fabric, make a cute new case, and fill it up with brand new pencils (mmm), and other little treats! I really do get excited about new pencils - don't you?

The Write Stuff includes all kinds of cases from tea sets to race tracks. As you can see, micro mini cars travel perfectly with this case - inside or out! :-) The zipper is inserted in the hoop, and if you click here and scroll down a bit, you can see how. The Write Stuff is on sale this week, too.

Got a Problem Child? When I taught math to 8th graders, I started a math club. This is the logo they chose for themselves, and this delightfully witty group was the first team in their town to go all the way to the National Math Counts competition in Washington DC!

This single design is on sale and waiting for you to make a book bag, pillow, or anything else for the Problem Solver in your life! Click here to find it.

If you'd like to make a few more back-to-school projects, take a look at this bundle of fun! This special includes a bunch of my favorite sets. If you get started now, you'll have lots done before the end of August arrives! This super special includes all the sets shown below, and you can find it here.

I hope you have a lovely time reading through the Autumn issue of Classic Sewing and downloading all the new goodies. If you need to get it, you can find it here.

While you're doing that, Spooky and I will be working on your August Gift! Thanks so much for reading, and we'll see you next week!
