It might not be sunny, but this beach themed tote bag from my free ‘Rope Handled Tote‘ pattern sure is! Sewing a bag like this is twice as fast because you don’t have to make the handles.
Don’t be afraid of the rope and grommets, they’re easy to find in the home decor section at Joanns.
This adorable beachy fabric is called Sun-Sational. It’s perfect for this tote I think. Our friends at Blend sent me the fabrics so I could sew it up for their Quilt Market booth.
So, what have you been sewing up this week? Did you make something with one of my free sewing tutorials or patterns? I would love to see! Tag me on Instagram @sewcanshe.
Sew an organizer covered with pockets that you can hang in your closet! This easy sewing project is great for organizing sewing and craft supplies, fashion accessories, bathroom necessities, gift wrappings, and more. There are pockets on both sides plus a big interior pocket so every bit of space is used. I’ll show you easy step by step instructions for sewing this organizer and putting it to use in your home. Get sew organized today.
Are you sewing a Closet Organizer with me? I hope so! This is Part 2 of our free sewing tutorial for an amazing organizer with a coat hanger inside so you can hang it anywhere.
If you are getting started, make sure you start at Part 1 of the free pattern.
Be a basketmaker! Sure, you can sew, but did you know that you can make amazing baskets too using your sewing machine, some fabric and the same materials that you use for your other projects?
Have you fallen in love with Quilt as You Go yet? It’s a fun technique for quilts, of course, but I’m having lots of fun using it for pouches and tote bags too.
I’m so excited to share with you the pattern for our first mini quilt of 2018… Flora! This beautiful little quilt was designed by the very talented Lauren of Molly & Mama…
At my daughter Chloe’s high school (can you believe my baby started high school???), the lunch lines are so long that she has been skipping lunch! She’s always starving by the time she gets home because she doesn’t want to carry a big lunch bag as well as her heavy backpack – poor girl!
Looking for free table runner patterns? I gathered up all my favorites in one place – here are free quilt patterns for table runners for fall, winter, spring and summer!
I am so in love with the beautiful look of simple patchwork quilts with lots of squares. This is the perfect way to use up fabric scraps like I did, or you can make a beautifully coordinated quilt with pre-cut 2 1/2’’ square fabric pieces that come in mini-charm packs.
I’m also in love with the process. If you feel like quilt making is your escape from the world and sitting down to sew for a few hours makes your troubles fade away… this is the quilt for you!
Sew an easy beautiful apron with this free sewing pattern that only uses one yard of fabric! Whether you are sewing for yourself or for a friend, an apron always comes in handy and makes a great gift. This blog post includes a link to a free template that I digitized for you.

I love this sewing little things! These little pouches are so totally adorable and fun to use. Kids love having their own little portion of goodies and I love to save money by buying big packages of things instead of the ones that they put in little packages for you.
Sew a scripture case for yourself or a special person in your life using my free sewing pattern! This fun sewing project can be completed quickly and customized just the way you want it.
Here’s the fourth design in my SewCanShe Applique of the month club. I’m having so much fun bringing them to you and you can find them all in my (all free) Craftsy shop . I’m calling these designs my ‘Far Away Forest’ Collection because they were inspired by Russian folk tales.
There’s nothing like a pretty new pincushion to get me revved up and excited to finish a big sewing project. That’s why I’m so happy to share this quick and easy Sawtooth Star pincushion from Gingercake this week!
The first thing I want to say is that I’m not calling this quilt terrible. Did you notice that? How I made my first quilt? Well, I can look back now and say that my quiltmaking skills were terrible. I really didn’t know what I was doing, but I’m so glad I jumped right in and made a quilt.

Your bag is so adorable! It makes me ready for summer! I love the rope handles!
I love your rope handled tote. I live at the beach in CA, spend my summers in flip flops, and have children and grandchildren in Hawaii with whom we visit often. I grew up at the beach and love it. Perfect beach tote. I just signed up to receive notice when that fabric arrives at my favorite online fabric store. It is the perfect beach tote.
