This week I released a free sewing pattern for a Hashtag Quilt Block. Have you sewn one yet?
As you can see, I couldn’t stop at just one. I had 9 different prints from the Sundaland Jungle collection, so I stitched up one block from each fabric, added some sashing with little gray squares, and now I have a Hashtag Quilt Top!
I’m planning to write up the pattern… cross your fingers that it doesn’t take me months to get to, lol.
Or years to get this top quilted and finished!
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.

This bag is perfect for a day at the beach or even a night away from home. It’s roomy enough for everything you need to bring along with space leftover for all the things you’ll be bringing back with you on the return trip.
It’s been ages since we’ve had a Sewing 201 post, hasn’t it? Well I’ve been sewing lots of knit binding on little knit tee shirts and dresses lately so I thought I’d show my process.
You can sew knit binding if your pattern calls for it, or as a substitute for facing or a typical ribbed neckline. If you are substituting it for a different edge finish, trim away the seam allowance.
Sewing new cushions for your patio furniture or other chairs is easier than you think! I recently purchased a used set of patio chairs that were in great shape – except for the cushions. I saved about 80% compared to buying the same furniture set new because I’m going to make new cushions – or maybe just cushion covers. I needed to look inside the old cushions before I decided.
I’m showing everyone how to sew a useful organizer for your car so you’ll have a spot to hold your purse, phone, sunglasses – and everything else you need to keep handy. If you’ve reached this post, hopefully it’s because you are about 1/2 way done with your Mesh Car Organizer and you are going to finish it today!
What a fun quilt!!
Very cute! I have seen the small hash tag blocks – but not larger ones – I like them!
What a great hashtag block! Good luck getting the pattern written up! Thank you for a great link party!
Super cute! love the block and the fabric. I have a couple of blocks like this….might need to make some more to make a quilt.
