Today as I was clearing away space on my sewing table so I could make room for some finished items (I know that sounds bad! I just have so many different projects going right now)…
My daughter Cadie asked me why I had her new little purse (the pink Triple Zip Bag) and other favorite things on my sewing table.
I told her that I was getting ready to make a studio chat video.
Then (without being asked) she started arranging all the items neatly the way she thought they looked good.
So I had an idea… and I asked Cadie if she wanted to film the studio chat for me!
The video is so cute… and totally unscripted.
Either she has been watching my videos on YouTube or some things are unwittingly passed down from one generation to the next.
Because everyone says she sounds just like me!!! The video is above and shown on YouTube here.
If you want to make the things she is showing you in the video, here are the links:
Thank you to everyone who asked when I was going to make another studio chat… It would have been today if it weren’t for Cadie stealing the show, he he… but I’m sure you’ll see me again very soon!

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!

When I first sketched these drawstring backpacks in my little notebook, I wanted to design them entirely out of fabric. Because sometimes I really want to make something without going to the store for special notions. The casings, loops, and drawstrings are all made of fabric. Of course you can substitute ribbon, twill tape, or grommets for the loops. And you could always use bias trim stitched together, ribbon, or rope for the drawstrings. But if you have plenty of fabric in your stash (like me), you will probably appreciate an all-fabric project too.
Many of us are starting to invite friends and family over for meals again. Let’s sew some pretty things to make our dining areas more welcoming and happy. Here are 15 sewing patterns for napkins, table cloths and runners, potholders,…
