A STITCH IN TIME

If you happen to live in the Austin area, and have been toying with the idea of learning how to sew, need to brush up on some rusty skills, or just want to see what's new in the textile world, head straight for Stitch Lab. My daughter Lex couldn't sew a stitch when she first walked through their door and signed up for a beginners class. Within a few sessions she was whipping up stuff like this...

and this.

 Best of all, she has a total blast every time she goes there. Try it -- you'll like it!
