Sew Good

If Pinterest has taught you anything, it’s that DIYing isn’t actually impossible.

So those curtains you’ve been thinking of redoing? Those pillows you wanted to re-cover? That apron you wanted to rock? Get on them! Spool of Thread runs beginner-friendly sewing workshops for those of us who are afraid of needles. And the modern, designer-approved fabrics they have on-hand are so picture-perfect, they could inspire a couple pinboards of their own.

Time to make the leap from pinning pictures to pinning fabrics. —Kelsey Dundon
