Easy Peasy Tote Tutorial

This might be the easiest bag ever. It's a great size for almost anything and it's so fast and easy to make.

These babies are fun to make and great for keeping odds and ends in one place. They'd be a great place for socks, toys, magazines, hand towels, etc.

The bag body is made in one piece, starting with the base. You will add a row of single crochet around the edge of the base, then work in the round up the sides. The flap is then worked back and forth in rows. The shoulder strap and buckle straps are made separately in contrasting yarn and sewn on at the end.

A quick and easy bag perfect for school lunches, picnics, storing toys or cosmetics and just about anything else. Free tutorial with pictures on how to make a Quilted lunch bag

I have seen lots of crayon and pencil rolls on blogs and always thought that one would make a nice wee gift for a young child. . .nb. for some reason I tend to search for tutorials after I have made something, to see if I have made it correctly, rather than before, which would make far more sense...

Chevron Quilt Pattern with No Triangles Tutorial

I've put together a tutorial on how to make a chevron quilt with no half square triangles.

I think I have mentioned on this blog before how much I love a good carry bag. But I what I don't enjoy is sewing bag handles. So I have been tinkering with a bag pattern that doesn't require handles. Well doesn't require handles that need turning through and attaching to the bag (since I'm not sure a carry bag without handles is still technically a carry bag).

The tutorial includes all of the instructions to make a bento bag and a sandwich wrap that folds out to a place mat (below). The projects are beginner-friendly, but we’ve included some nice finishing details so that they will hold up against rough-and-tumble little ones and frequent trips through the washing machine.
