    How We Use It: Fabric Tube Maker!

    Hey all, it’s Shannon and Jason! We love a good sale. Shocking, right? Seriously, the only thing we like more than a good sale is a good sale at the fabric store. It only takes minutes to fill up a cart with colors and textures and patterns…oh my. Next time you’re sauntering up to the checkout stand with a few quilts worth of fabric on bolts, take a gander behind the counter and you might catch a glance at a pre-cut jelly roll. Yes! Clover has done the hard work…

    Summer Essentials Bag :)

    Hello friends! A few weeks ago I was asked if I’d be interested in testing a bag pattern for a friend I’ve met through IG that lives in Finland! (Instagram is a crazy thing isn’t it?  I have a friend in Finland…)  I love her patterns that I’ve sewn with in the past so of course I said yes!  She sent me the pattern and I got right to work. I don’t have a tutorial for you, since this is a purchased pattern, and not one of my own.  However,…

    Jewelry Holder Sewing Tutorial

    Hi, my name is Rumer! You can find me on IG @rumer_has_it 🙂 Now that it’s officially summer break, you might find yourself having the time and opportunity to travel. I’ve recently done some travel myself and have missed this little handmade compact jewelry holder that my grandma got for me when I was younger. It was lightweight and I could throw in my earrings, necklaces, and bracelets to take with me. There were a bunch of pockets so that each accessory could have its own little space and not…

    Projector Cover- Sewing Pattern

    To all my fellow sewists out there, have you ever felt the slow back pain creeping in when you’re cutting, taping, and cutting (again) paper patterns? (Maybe it’s because I often do this when I’m sitting on the floor since I don’t have a big enough table.) But anyway, if I’m being honest, putting paper patterns together is one of my least favorite parts of sewing. Not only that, but you also have to consider how to store these patterns after you’re done both physically and electronically (for printed PDF…

It’s the most wonderful time of the year and although this month can bring a whole lot of stress and pressure of expectations, we can also take time to slow down and enjoy the little things and carve out quiet moments, which for me have included sewing simple things, reading books with my boys and snuggling, lots of…
