I would like to apologize for the lack of posts in recent months. First, I had to take an unexpected hiatus for health reasons. Then, just when I was ready to come back, we had some trouble with hackers: someone broke into Yesterday’s Thimble and added a ton of computer viruses to the website. This has been dealt with. Tech Support assures me that all the viruses have been deleted and the site is once again safe.

To get things going again, we’ve added a new tutorial: Hooked Together: Sewing With Hooks and Eyes. We’ve also added a Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, just to cover our legal bases. In the upcoming weeks, you can expect more articles, book reviews, sewing diaries, tips and tricks, and other blog posts about sewing and historic costuming. Enjoy!
