This past weekend I was experimenting with various designs of fabric storage baskets. I have seen so many cute ones lately on Instagram, by people who are participating in 2017 Triangle Gatherings Sew Along, or the Moda BlockHeads Sew Along. They use the baskets to hold the fat quarters they are using for their sew […]
I can't tell you what my inspiration was for these little fabric boxes, but I got a notion that I wanted to make some storage boxes out of fabric, and started playing around on Pinterest. Hours later, I had a list of tutorials and was totally jazzed to get started making something. The first one […]
How clever is this? Don't you hate it when you microwave your leftovers and the bowl is too hot to handle when you take it out of the microwave? Me too. I found two tutorials on how to make these clever little bowl cozys just before Christmas. Too late for me to make for gifts […]
My second Sew Together Bag is finished, just in time. In a few days, my sewing room is going to turn into a guest room, so my sewing had better be out of the way until after Christmas. This second bag turned out pretty well. I used a thicker fusible batting in it, and it […]
SInce my Christmas gifts to others do not appear to be willing to make themselves, I got to work on Friday and Saturday. I purchased this fabric at a wonderful shop called "Charming Lily" up in the Spokane area this summer, with some sort of half cocked idea to make a quilt with it. […]
Are you all still laughing at me? Ha ha. What a dummy I am. "Anyone know the block pictured here?" "It sure looks like the one on your blog header Nicole…" Honestly. Sometimes when I put these posts together it's late and I am definitely done with my day. I swear chardonnay had absolutely nothing […]
Woo hoo! I made my own little Sew Together Bag! This is just the cutest little thing, and so very useful. I know you all will want to make one too. It isn't a project for beginners, but if you are confident, and follow allong a couple of tutorials, read carefully and are patient with […]
I have been having fun lately with my Filofax planner. Filofax is pretty utilitarian in the style of their planner pages, but with a little embellishment, you can really raise the cuteness factor. I have seen some YouTube videos where people (usually young women under 30) go crazy with stickers and stamping and all sorts […]
Pretty neat, huh? This is a new idea for wine coasters that I found on this tutorial. I have been making mug rugs to sell at my son in law's tasting room, but lately they haven't been selling all that well. They are rather labor intensive, and I am thoroughly sick of making them. These […]
I made a couple of little bags last week. For me! The one above is perfect for face creams and make up, or perhaps all your makeup brushes. I know when I travel, I prefer to keep my brushes separate from everything else. Hmmm, I believe I should make one more… On the blog In […]
