This little keychain wallet was one of the first things I made once I figured out how to make my own patterns, and I've used one on my keychain for months. I love how convenient it is to stash a lip balm, some hair ties, or even a couple cards if you're just running a quick errand.
Do you have old jeans lying around waiting to be given a new life? I find the size works as a small handbag for an adult too. You may just want to make the strap a little shorter to make it a clutch.
I will attempt to describe how to assemble one of these cuties. Where words fail, I hope the pics will be of help.
The method for this pattern creates a boxy pouch WITHOUT sewing BOXED CORNERS! ...and that's a good thing.
I came across a very, very simple drawstring bento bag pattern; thinking it would be a delightful project to share as a tutorial. However, when the bag was complete, it seemed a bit small, barely fitting my 4.5" square bento box. So I worked on a 'formula' (did I tell you I'm a numbers geek?) to customize a pattern to fit your bento lunch box.
Today I will be sharing a tutorial for an English Paper Pieced tote! This tote finishes at approximately 13.5"H x 11"W x 4"D.
Selvedge, Selvage… whether you speak English or American, they’re the same thing. They are a gorgeous piece of fabric that often just gets thrown away. And that’s a shame.
Here’s how I sew easy inset circles using freezer paper and glue. Here is Folded Star (Somerset) Tutorial
So today I bring you an English Paper Piecing Tutorial! One of my long term projects right now is an English Paper Piecing (EPP) project. This project will take me forever, and I am quite all right with that!
This is the perfect bag to throw your stuff in for a trip to the pool, or the park, or anywhere you need to go this summer.
I don’t know about you, but I’ve got a lot of little things filling my purse. I love these little zipper pouches to keep those things a little more organized. In fact, wanting a pouch like this was the reason I started sewing in the first place. I’ve been making these little pouches for almost three years and I’m happy to share exactly how I make now, with perfect end tabs on the zipper.
This one came about specifically with a trip to Disneyland in mind. You’ve got to take your phone and wallet with you, but there are all those rides where you get splashed, so here’s my solution: a small pouch you can sling over your shoulder, it fits your phone and a card wallet, plus chapstick and lip gloss.
