So, I ran into a little problem. It turns out that, when making a tutorial, I'm not so great at remembering to take pictures! I guess this is really more like a cross between a process and a tutorial. Hopefully it's somewhat helpful.

Striped Ruffled Tote Bag Tutorial
I don’t know about you, but I’m not ready to leave summer in my rear view mirror just yet. Luckily, now that I have this bag with its pop of color ruffle, blue and white stripe and classic brown leather – I’ve got the perfect accessory to transition into Fall without leaving the color of summer behind.
Star Crossed Quilt Block Tutorial
This block has been called many things over the years, dating as far back as 1907, from a Friendship block to a Hearth and Home block, but I think Star Crossed might be a better name for it, so that's what I'm calling it.
String Quilt Block Tutorial
String blocks are a great way to use up scraps, and my recent quilt finish incorporated two different kinds of string blocks that made a heart shape when put together.
Classic Handbag – Easy Sewing Tutorial
love the simplicity of this classic handbag, no fussy pockets or straps. Just pick it up and go. The sewing tutorial is suitable for a beginner! An excellent sewing project to use recycled fabrics. A fabulous everyday bag too.
Cathedral Star Block Tutorial
I'm going to show you how to make a Cathedral Star block, using two different kinds of units: a faux cathedral window for the center and "cathedral" geese for the star points.
Bookshelf Quilt Block Tutorial
Bookshelf quilts are easy to put together and leave plenty of room for improvising with scraps and adding fun details.
Zig Zag Quilt Binding Tutorial
While I was binding my neutral quilt I took some pictures so that I could share my method with you.
Oil Cloth Lunch Bag Tutorial
I saw this neat-o idea for making lunch bags on Skip To My Lou and since I am in an Oil cloth-crazed phase lately I thought how perfect would these be for a picnic! I changed it up a bit though and added a velcro closure so the oilcloth would stay folded shut and make carrying the lunch bag a little easier for smaller hands. Wanna see what I did?
How to Sew Bias Tape Corners. Sew Tutorial
Since my last post on ‘How to Sew Bias Tape’ found here, many of you have had some questions about how to sew it around corners (like with a square potholder). So I thought that I would put together another tutorial for you about taping up those darn corners that seem to cause so much sewing room chaos!
How to Sew Bias Tape - Tutorial
So, it occurred to me…after receiving several emails from you lovelies…that maybe I should give you a run down of how to sew with bias tape after I posted the Double Oven Mitt Tutorial here. This project uses quite a bit of bias tape and I didn’t even think that maybe some of you might not sew with it often or even ever to really know how to put it on.
Easy Double Oven Mitt. Free Tutorial
It’s basically two oven mitts that are connected in the middle, kinda like mittens on a string but cooler and with a greater function. That middle section plays a key part in protecting your forearms and clothing from larger and sometimes heavier hot pans (yeah, I’m talking to you Lasagna pan!)
Date Night Ring Handled Clutch Tutorial
I wanted to make a sweet little clutch to use on our date, something fun and flirty. Something cute and eye-catching that speaks of the warmer spring weather we should be having. And with enough room for my phone, wallet, and a few different lipgloss, you know, just the essentials, lol!
TUTORIAL: DIY Bento Lunch Bag
How to make Bento Lunch Bag? I know when I was searching online to buy them almost all the ones I saw were cute but pretty girlie and if you have a little guy, like I do, he may want one that has a bit more boy flair to it!
Marker Roll Up Tutorial
My tutorial today is super easy! Last year I bought some coloring fabric and designed a marker roll that would fit a pack of 10 washable markers (the thick kind!) These projects are so great for gifts! In fact, I sold out of all the marker rolls I made at an Easter craft fair – moms were buying them for Easter basket stuffers!!! They are great for party favors, stocking stuffers, graduation gifts (well…..maybe kindergarten graduation???!) And you can whip out several in a short amount of time!
Houndstooth Quilt Block Tutorial
I’ve got a fun and simple precut pattern. It’s a houndstooth quilt made easy! We’re going to bypass cutting 3″ or 4″ strips with angles, etc. and instead opt for Jelly Rolls (Rolie Polies) and Charm Packs (Stackers) depending on the size you want your finished quilt to be.
Roman Shade DIY Tutorial
I love roman shades for their simple style and versatility. They look good on there own or can be paired with long curtains. I made a lot of these shades for my previous home and a couple for the one that I live in now. You can pretty much use any fabric, but I've found using a heavy weight cotton decorator fabric or cotton duck works best. Plus, you don't need to line the shade with these types of fabrics.
Zipper Wallet DIY Free Tutorial
I needed a new wallet. I sat down and thought about how I used my previous wallet, and what items I would want in a new design to suit my needs. As it turns out, I wanted a wallet that would hold my money, credit cards, change, and cell phone. Maybe even my keys or some sunglasses if room spared. I wanted a wallet with a leather exterior, 2 inner pockets, and lots of pockets for credit cards or other annual membership cards.
Lined Tote with Pockets Tutorial
This tote is lined for extra strength. It also features two pockets on the front, so you don't have to go digging around in a huge bag for your keys. Because keys are heavy, so they go all the way to the bottom and you end up having to pull everything out to find them.
Lined Zipper Pouch Bag Tutorial
With this easy zipper pouch, you can have a safe place to store them. Plus, I don't know about your kids, but mine love having their own little bags and pouches to store things in. And use to smuggle toys to school in their backpacks.
