Creative Daisy did a great tutorial on making piping, though I’d already made mine by the time I saw it. However, the zipper foot she used was different to the zipper foot that gets bundled in with lots of machines so I wanted to show you it was still possible if you have the regular kind of foot.

Frounchess Bag Tutorial & Pattern
Yay! I’m so proud of this little bag. (Actually, it’s a medium-sized bag, but whatever.) I am very pleased to share with you, the Frouchess Bag tutorial and pattern.
This is a very ruffly bag. It is rufflioso. Heck, it might be a rufflerón. So if you like ruffles, or lots of pattern, or targeted busyness, you should go and make yourself one. (If you are a total minimalist, I can see how this wouldn’t be your thing.)

Honeycomb Smocking Tutorial
I think you could also call it Honeycomb Pleating.
I made this tutorial, because there really weren’t too many others out there, and I really like my method. The thought of pleating an entire piece of cloth back-and-forth and back-and-forth makes my hands feel all full and frustrated. My way is not that way. I would like to introduce you to the recycled Cheerios box method, in which a cardboard strip does most of the thinking work and the whole thing is laid flat rather than folded up in your hands.
Twinkle Twinkle Quilt Block Tutorial
I saw this block several weeks ago on flickr and fell in love immediately. I wanted to make one that afternoon. But wait! The creator did not write anything in the photo description! No name of the block, no link to a tutorial, no reference to the creator. If I am to make this block, I need to break it all down and work out the math for myself. To save you the same trouble, I thought I would share it with you in a tutorial. Now, if any of you know the name and have a link to the original tutorial, please please please do leave it in a comment below. Credit where credit is due. Until then, we’ll call this block Twinkle Twinkle. Let’s get started.

Monster Baby Toy Tutorial
I think this guy is so darn cute. If a big eyeball, crazy mouth, and ribbon hair is considered cute. :)
I started out with a simple shape, and then I cut out a mouth. You don’t need to cut out a mouth, but I wanted a place for a baby to grab on to and hold the toy easily. I wanted one huge eyeball so I cut that out of some scrap fabric.
