Tutorial Tuesday: The Best Tote Ever

This really is the best tote tutorial ever.  

It has closed seams and its only one layer of fabric.  

This makes excellent grocery bags (among a million other uses).  

And it only uses one yard of fabric!

Tutorial Tuesday: Pocket Tissue Holder

I love sewing bags.  

Its clear based on how many new bags I've sewn for myself.  

But have I shared the second part of the obsession???? 

Accessories from the same fabric!

Here is a cute one from Skip to My Lou -- The Pocket Tissue Holder!

29 Weeks!

29-32 Weeks.....

Baby’s energy is surging, thanks to the formation of white fat deposits beneath the skin. (Have those kicks and jabs to the ribs tipped you off yet?) Baby is also settling into sleep and waking cycles, though -- as you’ve also probably noticed -- they don’t necessarily coincide with your own. Also this month, all five senses are finally functional, and the brain and nervous system are going through major developments. 

Tutorial Tuesday: Messenger Bag

This is a serious tutorial with amazing results! 

The tutorial is easy to follow and the directions are clear. 

I have sewn two of these bags and I loved them both.  

This is a great tutorial to expand on to create just about any size zippered messenger bag.  

And hey -- no pattern required for purchase!  Double Win!

25 Weeks!

For Weeks 25-28...

Let your spouse put an ear to your belly -- he might be able to pick up baby's heartbeat (no stethoscope required). Inside the womb, the formation of tiny capillaries is giving baby a healthy pink glow. Baby's also soaking up your antibodies, getting the immune system ready for life outside the womb. Eyes are forming, and baby will soon perfect the blink -- perfect for batting those freshly grown lashes.

Tutorial Tuesday: Peasant Skirt

These skirts are so dang cute!  

But whenever I find one in a store, it always seems so super expensive. 

I have never been able to bring myself to buy one because it just seems so easy to sew.

Here is a great resource for the math required for a good peasant skirt.  Enjoy!

Thanks goes to J Caroline Creative for the resource and tutorial!
