I just finished a fast and easy sewing project that will be so useful!
It’s a beautiful pouch that can be used at work, home, and even better – sewing expos and conventions.
There are 3 pockets, a vinyl pocket to hold your ID or something else about 3’’x4’’, a handy zippered pocket below that for cash, coins, or maybe a small set of keys…
And a mesh pocket on the back that’s perfect for your phone (or maybe a small notebook and pen).
It’s so versatile – I love that too.
Sometimes I sew up and show projects from other websites. This is one of those projects.
The Call Me pattern is free from one of my favorite pattern designers, Annie of ByAnnie. You can get it here.
You will need to add the pattern to your shopping cart, but you can checkout without payment because the pattern is free. It will then be added to your ByAnnie account.
My Call Me bag was even faster to sew because I used quilted pieces that were leftover after I sewed the Divide and Conquer Bag (also designed by Annie).
If you love the fabrics in these projects, I’m so glad because I curated them with QT Fabrics last year, but I’m also sorry to tell you that they are pretty much unavailable. But I’m sure you have a favorite fabric collection that will look amazing on this project:)
Another great thing about Annie’s patterns is her fabulous add-on videos. Even though the Call Me pattern isn’t that hard, there are free add-on videos too in case you want to see just how an expert does the tricky parts.
I was grateful for the add-on video about sewing fold over elastic to mesh. It saved me!

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!

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.

Sew the cutest llama around with my free sewing pattern!
This easy stuffed animal is fun to embellish with leftover trims such as pom poms, ric rac, fringe, or ribbon. The saddle and llama face are appliques which are fused in place and then stitched down.
