I first posted this tutorial in 2013. My son was 1 -1/2 years old and we were living in Tampa. I would find him with our pictures in his hands, pointing and saying “Da-Da”!! I soon learned to shuffle after him putting the frames up for safety and eventually I just put them away. Like most toddlers, he loved looking… View Post

I shared this post over at Sew Mama Sew a few years ago. Sadly I think they have taken down their website. I have had a quite a few readers email and ask about the directions, so I thought I would drum up the tutorial and share it with you all again. Each bag has 4 colors. This is a project… View Post

We were packing light and I didn’t want to bring the big, bulky [and ugly] bag that came in the box. I pulled out my retreat bag, plopped in… View Post
I am addicted to making storage bins. How about you? My friend Carla asked me to make extra large fabric bins to store her son’s toys. The caveat – she wanted the fabric to be fun and modern, as she planned on leaving the bins around the house. We found the fabric on Premier Prints. I love their entire denim… View Post

Did you take part in the #100DayProject this year? The days were April 3rd through July 11th. I had a blast creating block prints and then sewing them into pouches.
