Amazon Finds for Crafting and Sewing!

I have to travel to get anything I need for sewing and crafting - at least an hour to have several choices to shop. Ordering from Amazon is much cheaper for me, even if I have to pay shipping. Right now I have Free Amazon Prime so I have been enjoying Free Shipping on most items!

I ordered two 5 lb. boxes of the
Morning Glory 5-Pound Premium Fiberfill


For $14.99 for 5 pounds vs $10.82 for a 20 oz bag, you can't beat that!
These come inside a little larger box, so you get a great storage box to re-use as well. They would be perfect to store larger Christmas decorations or cupcake trees!

I've been reading post from women that love the Morning Glory 16-Ounce Cluster Stuff


They claim it is great for stuffing small areas and keeping a nice shape. It cost $15.20 for a 16 ounce bag. Marshall Dry Goods does not sell this online, but they will accept phone orders. Call for price: 888.744.8277. They are in Batesville, AR.

If anyone uses this product, please leave a comment at the end of this post to give a review and what you use it for.


I have never used a Self Healing Mat or Rotary Cutter, but with the new Upcoming Sewing Business I will be starting, I think it is high time I purchase several sizes. I definitely want a 36x48 and a smaller one to keep at my day job for my smaller projects that I don't have to sew.

I have recently been having problems with my Front Load HE washing machine smelly very musty. The kids constantly leave clothes in it and they also forget to leave the door open to air out. I've been concerned about starting to launder (pre-shrink) fabric for the upcoming sewing business.

I have been reading reviews on Smelly Washer Washer Cleaner, 12-Ounce and think I will give it a try. It claims the 12 use treatment is cheaper than the 1 - 3 use Cleansers that are put out by Tide and other companies. Reviews claim that Smelly Washer works Much Better too.

Also, I read interesting reviews about Mule Team Borax Laundry Pretreater (buy it at WalMart - much cheaper!) Borax is great for multi-purpose cleaning and all pest control. Read the reviews to find helpful tips.

Another interesting review read is for Charley's Soap. You only use 1 TBS per load and it is safe for HE machines. Read This Reivew about a husband who is a garbage collector. I'm pretty sold on the REVIEWS that I have read so far.

I also read that for Front Loading HE machines, use ERA HE rather than Tide. It supposedly does not cause the odor to build up again like other detergents.

Have a wonderful week everyone!
