Quilting, sewing, pets, home decor, and gardening
Most people throw away the tiny scraps of fabric that you naturally end up with when sewing. You might think a little scrap of fabric isn’t worth saving, but if you save enough of them, you can use them to make beautiful quilt blocks! Most people call this process crumb quilting.
This zippered pouch measures just 2.5″ x 2.5″ by 2″ tall. It’s perfect for hanging on your keychain to hold little items like headphones, loose change, lip balm, or pretty much anything else you can think of.
Zippered pouches are probably my all-time favorite thing to sew now! Today I’m showing you how to make a zippered pencil case. This isn’t just for pencils. I use mine for crochet hooks but you can also store things like small purse items, essential makeup, sewing notions, jewelry, or tons of other things.
Make a cute 6″ square packing cube with this easy tutorial! These packing cubes are fully lined with no exposed seams and no piping or binding required! The lining gives the bags more structure and prevents anything from fraying.
Adding lace to your garments is a fun way to instantly dress them up. Today I’m showing you how to attach lace cuffs to a sweater or long sleeved t-shirt. This project takes just 10 minutes and it’s a great way to alter your clothes with minimal effort!
This is a follow-up to my first mini charm pack pouch tutorial. For my cottage core pouch, I used a mini charm pack from “Cottage Linen Closet” by Brenda Riddle Designs for Moda Fabrics. Read on for inspiration on making your own cottage core pouch!
Quilting is fun, but let’s face it — it’s not a cheap hobby by any means. Quilting fabric is expensive enough, but then you add in the batting, backing fabric, thread, and long arm quilting services, among other things. However, there are lots of ways to save money when quilting so you can still do your hobby.
Have you ever made a duvet cover out of quilt fabric? Today I’m going to show you how! I love regular quilts, but in the winter I always find myself wanting something a little warmer and cozier. It occurred to me that I could make a quilt top into a duvet cover.
I’m willing to admit I’m an imperfect, sometimes messy quilter, and I’m okay with that. I wanted to write a blog that gives you permission to be imperfect when making crafts too. I know I’m not the only one who does nothing for fear of not being good enough.
Pillow cases are a great quilting project. They let you get your quilting fix in a much shorter amount of time. I also like making pillow cases because they show off my pretty fabric and don’t take up too much room in the linen cabinet. I especially love making seasonal quilted pillow covers!
