How to make checkbook covers. Free Sewing Tutorial.

One of my Christmas traditions is making paper snowflakes. I love the surprise each time you unfold a new one. I think they make lovely decorations for windows and trees and presents.

The other day, I decided to make a little fabric box for Bun's dresser, to keep the baby socks tidy. When I went looking for fabric box tutorials, I found a ones that used felt, or quilting, or even some sort of plastic inserts. There were lots of different styles: another felt fabric box, a simple fabric box, another fabric box. But none were quite what I wanted, so I decided to make something up.

Little button or snap closure pocket purses are endlessly useful. You can tuck a few important things in that you don't want lost at the bottom of a larger bag, use them to store jewellery when travelling, use them for keeping crafty odds and ends tidy, or for any number of other things.

This 16” x 16” block looks great alone, for instance as a pillow cover or doll quilt, but it can also be combined with other blocks to create a quilt top with a big impact.

How to make a Dresden Plate Block. So let's get started!

Weighted Pincushion Organizer. Free Sewing Tutorial. The pincushion is weighted with rice, so you can perch it on the edge of your sewing table or favorite comfy chair.

My version has two pockets – one zippered pocket and one patch pocket with two compartments. It also has a magnetic clasp. All of this is optional. If you want to make your life easy, omit this stuff.

Simple Sewn Tote. Free Sewing Tutorial. This simple tote was made entirely using remnant fabric. I used vinyl for the lining so that I could use this tote for groceries if needed.

I thought I would once again try to make some produce bags out of something I had at home. The two things I played with were tulle and doilies. I liked the idea of something somewhat see-thru so that a grocery store clerk could read the code if you were at a supermarket. Since tulle is not my friend I leaned more towards the vintage doilies. After a few tries and takes and takes and tries, here is what I have come up with. I'm not sure if I got pics of every step but here ya go.. Have fun!

DIY Travel Jewellery Case Sewing Tutorial. It's a nice easy project and doesn't require too much fabric - just 3 contrasting fat quarters.

With the state of the economy and everyone trying to be more environmentally conscious, I have noticed fabric snack sacks popping up all over the place. Something that's incredibly cute and Eco-friendly? I love this idea!

This tutorial is for when you want a bag with a fabric pattern that needs to face up...like the cupcakes on both sides. Super easy, and the seam is tucked inside the lining, versus Take 1's tutorial with the seam being seen just inside the bag.

This tutorial is just the basics for making a bag with no bottom seam. It would have worked much better with another pattern because now my cupcakes are upside-down on the reverse side. But the pouch is just to hold my markers so I don't mind.

Free Sewing Bag Pattern and Tutorial. DIY Quilted Bag.

Free and very detailed quilted tote tutorial. Love the pleated trim sewn around the opening, and the applique as embellishment! This quilted tote was named Becca and her finished size should be 12 ½” high x 13” wide x 4” deep. Her handle height is 10” from the top of the tote bag.

I love these little baskets. They're multiplying around the house like bunnies. There is one for each project I have going. I think I need more!! They hold embroidery thread, rotary cutters, or pincushions perfectly.

These pincushions are so fun to make! You can make them simple, with one or two fabrics, or scrappy! Embellish them with hand embroidery or machine quilt them! They would make a great gift or swap item and are a great way to use up scraps. Ok, let's get started! :)

For my tutorial, I am giving you alternate options for my really fun travel sewing kit tutorial. Click on the link for the full tutorial. I LOVE these kits! They are perfect for hand sewers and those of us that like embroidery but they are also a great gift for quilters (all those hand sewn bindings) or even someone headed off to college (everyone needs a mending kit at some point).

I have really loved making these!! They are so fun and a really useful little kit to have in your purse or car so that you can always work on a project no matter where you are. :)

For all of you who have ever been too intimidated to try binding your own quilt, Camille breaks it down in easy to follow step-by-step instructions.

Fussy Cut Zipper Pouch Tutorial + Pattern

I LOVE a good zipper pouch!! I know there a ton of zipper pouch tutorials out there but I was asked by a very special person to do one, so here it is! :)

I made these little reversible fabric cuff bracelets.
I took some pics and noted the measurements because I thought you guys like to make some as well! They are super fast and easy and a great way to use up scraps. They would make great goodie bag items for a birthday party or a quick gift.

I love the look of a nicely bound quilt! It's such a great way to use a really fun fabric. It is also a great way to use an accent color or, in the case of my pattern, to bring in some color or pattern to an object that is mostly neutral or solid.

There is something so lovely and slow about hand sewing! I want to share a tutorial for a fun hexagon zipper pouch with all of you today. I know the whole project isn't hand sewn but the hexagons are and I think they are a really fun little quick hand sewing project. Let's get started!

How to sew knitting needle holder - big enough that I will be able to store all my knitting needles in one place and bright enough that I shouldn't lose it.

Felt Storage Basket Free Pattern & Tutorial

These are so gratifying to create, both aesthetically pleasing and practical. And I’ve moved them up in scale to ‘floor baskets.’ Naturally, I imagine using these to house knitting necessities, but they also work well for toys (canine, baby, or otherwise), socks, electronics…

This is one of those statement accessories that would look great with a neutral outfit… if only I owned one. I might have to go buy a white shirt. There’s something I love about the feeling of a clutch, the way it snuggles under your arm, and the way you can never totally ignore it– not like a messenger bag that just gets flung to your backside. The clutch is a real participant in the ensemble.

How to sew a Summer Bag with an application

Often the size of the lady bag is missing. And we complement it with packages, where we put everything that I did not fit in a female bag (no matter how much it was). I propose to sew a simple bag that will replace our countless packages to us.

I offer you a simple and original summer handbag, which is sewn easily and quickly.

Making this stylish and functional summer accessory is easy! To work, we will need a rectangular piece of felt 60 cm by 20 cm, a zipper 18-20 cm, a pair of holsters, any other buttons or Velcro, scissors and half an hour of free time.

Recycled Denim Bag. Free Pattern & Tutorial

I love this natural cotton material, beautiful, strong, durable, stylish, comfortable! And now the model of the bag was born, you can go to the beach and go shopping with it.

Onto the tutorial. Firstly, you will need a tin - any sized tin will do. In saying that, it will make your life easier if your tin fits over the end of your sewing machine (you will see why later in the tutorial). Wash and dry your tin thoroughly. If you choose a tin in which a smell lingers, wash it in a 20% bleach solution. It will get rid of any nasty odours left behind!!

This is a roomy eco-bag, simple rectangular shape with long handles. It replaces the package from the store.

The original zip tutorial idea I had evolved into a little zip pouch tutorial - something that you could make any size you like to fit any number of things...sewing stuff, nappy & wipes or maybe travel documents.

Here's a little square-bottomed canvas bucket. The design uses a Jordy bag style to get the squared bottom. I kept the height short so it would have a chance of standing on its own (and it does!), and the two little handles on either side are sewn onto the outer fabric with a tight zig-zag stitch.

These baskets can be made in any size - all measurements here make a finished basket that holds a 100g ball of wool very nicely :)

Try to sew such a rainbow fish for your baby, choosing his favorite colors. This idea will not take much of your time and will not require special "sewing" knowledge and skills.
