The BEST Sewing and DIY Projects

I love to sew and craft!!!  I’ve been doing it since I was a kid and now I’m in my 40’s and love it more than ever. I’ve accumulated a lot of tips and tricks over the years. In addition to blogging here at the Polka Dot Chair, I also write for eBay, helping them to increase the sewing and quilting and craft-related content on their site.  Here are links to articles I’ve written for them, spilling the beans on some of my favorite craft projects, sewing techniques, and family DIY ideas!
