MAKE: Ahead of the Curve

We’re talking about sewing curves this month, starting with today’s episode of MAKE with Teresa Coates. I’ve long been a fan of curved blocks, but I’ll admit that they intimidated me at first. In hopes that I can get you to love curves, too, I’ve gathered tips, patterns and tutorials to help you out.

Be sure to watch the full episode of MAKE with Teresa Coates: Get Ahead of the Curve and check out these blog posts for additional info and links:
