I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday

season with family and friends!

December is here already. WOW! Where

has the time gone? While you are busy

getting ready for the holiday season, at Rae

-Bon we are working on the new Block of

the Months for 2018. We will be debuting

those at the Year of Savings Extravaganza

on December 2. I hope everyone has

blocked out at least part of the day on

Saturday, December 2 to stop by the shop

to pick up your coupon book for 2018. We

changed it up this year and will be handing

out the coupon book all day. We’ll also

have “Red Door Specials” lasting only a

short time throughout the day. Some of

these “Red Door Specials” will be brand

new products! There will be other specials

running all day like flannels 40% off and

Christmas Cottons 50% off. This is just a

little sneak peak. We’re going to have lunch

on so you can take time to visit with

friends while waiting for the next “Red

Door Special.”

A Place for Everything

For the final project in this year-long project series, we're going to tackle

the mother-of-all-bags! You’ll love this spacious organizer with lots of

zippered pockets to hold everything you need— sewing machine feet and

accessories, tools, and more.

You’ll take all skills you learned as you worked on the other projects and

perfect them with this bag. You'll also learn some new skills:

Expand on the zipper-making skills you learned in Project 1 as you learn

to make zippers of any length using Zippers by the Yard.

Discover how to make expandable vinyl pockets which will hold larger

items. You'll love the handy folding template included in the pattern.

Mesh pockets and bindings will be easy-peasy since you’ve mastered them

in so many projects up to this point.

Learn the secrets to attaching hook-and-loop fastener to pocket pages.

Take a bow and show off your year's projects. You've organized your

supplies, made some fun gifts, and refined your skills. Kudos!
