The other day I was shopping at Joann Fabrics. Again.. I was in the zone, minding my own business searching for the perfect color in a metal zipper. The zips are for upcoming projects. I have a few Lotta Jansdotter canvas pouch tutorials that are anxiously waiting to be completed… Issue #38 of Mollie Makes stopped me in my tracks. I am… View Post
Ok – I think it is going to be one of those weeks.. I have too much to do and it’s created a little sewing paralysis.. Lol. I keep thinking about poms poms.. white pom poms, multi colored pom poms and itsty bitsy teenie weenie pom poms.. Add a little tassel fringe trim in there too. While I have projects all… View Post

Ohhh… Lotta Jansdotter.. You rock! I’ve had a few pieces of “Glimma” canvas shoved in my stash for a few weeks. This nature inspired combo has been patiently waiting for me to pull it out and get my act together. I went back and forth on sewing the “Glimma Tote” that was designed by Laura Jaquinto for Windham Fabrics. But, I have storage bins and pouches… View Post

So unlike all those other overly prepared blog Moms, I’ve failed miserably at creating unique, hand-made daily gifts for his daycare ladies. Well, there’s always next year! If you were here earlier this week, I finally plugged in… View Post
My husband gave me a Silhouette Cameo for Christmas. Until last weekend, it just sat and sat and sat in the box… I was ignoring it on purpose. My husband would ask me “Um, what’s up..? That was an expensive present to just sit in the box… ” Truthfully, while I had yearned for this machine for EVER, I was intimated and overwhelmed by the… View Post

I’m over at Momtastic today sharing a fun and funky totebag tutorial.. It’s super easy and a great beginner sewing project. The totebags are made from kitchen dish towels! There are so many colorful dish towels available – I bought a set at IKEA for under $5.00. West Elm, Crate & Barrel and World Market also have colorful and sometimes quirky kitchen towels – perfect for… View Post
I’ve thought about making a double sided vinyl pouch for months. Every time I shove something into my purse – receipts, coupons, make-up, crayons.. The vision of my pouch pops into my head. The best part, it folds in half and will fit nicely into a purse or suitcase.. I’ve made a version of this pouch before and use it all the time. Clear vinyl… View Post
