I’m so excited to share with you something that I have been working on all year… a video course!
I get ‘sew’ annoyed at most zipper bag tutorials because I end up with pinched corners at the top that never look right.
I have to admit that it bothered me so much I couldn’t sleep one night. I layed in bed trying to picture how to make a zipper pouch the had beautifully sewn top corners.
Sew a cute pet leash using the scraps from the last quilt you made! This works great with the scraps from ANY quilt, and makes a great leash for your dog, cat, llama, or iguana!
Yesterday I was itching to sew something cute and quick. Oh, and it had to be useful too!
I decided to see if I could make two dumpling-shaped Pochi Pouches using two fat quarters – and it worked.
Guess what??? It’s almost back to school time! Here in Florida school starts up in less than a month.
We should start shopping for school supplies soon (or we could just scavenge the left-overs at Target the weekend before school starts – as we usually do – he he).
You can use your leftover or orphan (aka UFO) quilt blocks to make cute potholders! It’s a great last minute gift, housewarming present, or even teacher gift. See how I used some unfinished quilt blocks to make handmade patchwork potholders in practically no time at all.
There’s nothing better than a sewing machine and a stack of fabric when it comes to last minute gifts! I don’t know about you, but I hate going to the store to search for a gift that I should have thought about sooner. Plus I really think that handmade gifts are better. They say ‘I cared enough to spend time to make this for you!’
I love the personality and uniqueness that using selvage scraps brings to a hand made project.
I love this free sewing idea. It’s a “My Favorite Scraps” Memory Game…can you believe how cute? This easy sewing project will make a perfect preschool gift (for boys or girls) plus help you lighten up your scrap basket too!
One of the first things I ever learned to sew was doll clothes. I think I was about 8. My family never had a lot of money (9 kids!), so I had to make my own. I cut up clothing that was destined for goodwill and made clothes for my stuffed dolls, stuffed animals, and even my younger siblings, lol!
My 3 Ring Pencil Pouch tutorial has to be one of the best things I ever thought up. For me, anyway.
Because doesn’t it seem like school supplies get more expensive every year? When I was a kid we didn’t even have school supplies! LOL. Okay, we probably did.
