I love getting new e-books from Helios Glass. They’re always perfect for the moment, as is this new one, Ending Fused Glass Disasters. One of my last slumps had me sighing in sadness since a bulge was right in the middle of what would have been a beautiful platter. Glass can be a cruel mistress. I know what went wrong with that firing but sometimes you look at the result and just scratch your head…why? This e-book will answer a lot of questions and hopefully keep you from having to turn your project into a mosaic or the glass into scrap. Go over to Helios Glass and check it out as well as all their other e-books. Paul has so much glass info in his head to share…and he is very kind to share it.

Etsy Spotlight: 1955 Baby Doll Nightgown & Bloomers Pattern
Vintage is making a serious comeback – and I’m 100% here for it. There’s just something timelessly romantic and effortlessly charming about retro styles, and this 1955 Baby Doll Nightgown & Bloomers PDF Pattern is a dreamy example. With delicate details and a classic silhouette, this three-piece sleepwear set captures the elegance and playfulness of mid-century fashion.
But here’s what makes it even more exciting: imagine sewing this pattern using vintage sheet sets! Not only does it give a sweet, nostalgic vibe (hello, florals and pastel stripes), but it also turns your sewing project into a sustainable, upcycled creation. Repurposing old linens is one of my favorite tricks for reducing waste while still making something utterly beautiful and functional. The soft, worn-in feel of vintage sheets also makes them perfect for loungewear like this.
Whether you’re sewing this for yourself, gifting it to someone special, or even displaying it as part of a vintage-inspired craft fair, this pattern is as versatile as it is adorable.
