I don’t think there is anyone who is sad to see the year 2020 go. It’s been a year of ups and downs, life and death, fear and faith.

For most of 2020, we’ve tele-commuted, zoomed to school, and in general, spent a large part of our life at home.

Are you sewing something different than before (hello, masks!), or have you tried a new technique or type of sewing? Are you exploring more sewing related activities online – Facebook Live, Zoom classes, YouTube videos? I’m curious to know just what you and your sewing machine are up to…
