Tip Tuesday

Your eyes are one of your most important sewing tools—but are they working harder than they need to?

If you find yourself leaning closer to your project, struggling to thread a needle, dealing with tired eyes, or having trouble seeing colours accurately, your sewing setup may be contributing.

In this week's Tip Tuesday, we're sharing 4 simple signs that it's time to make a few changes—plus easy ways to reduce eye strain and make stitching more comfortable.

This week's beautiful make comes from Gillian, who made these absolutely adorable Iberis Dresses for her nieces using Cowgirl from Echo Park

We can't get over the thoughtful details—from the sweet ruffle neckline and coordinating button plackets to the beautifully gathered skirts and lovely finishing touches. Every stitch is so neat and intentional!

Thank you, Gillian, for bringing these by for us to admire and for showing just how versatile Cowgirl from Echo Park can be for children's garments. Beautiful job!
