How To Sew A Single Welt Pocket
This welt pocket tutorial also makes use of a backing, (cut from the main fabric) inside the pocket bag so that should the welt pocket gape at all, the main garment fabric is visible not the pocket lining! Most home sewing patterns don’t include this backing and you can leave it out and just use the pocket Bag lining, but I think the backing adds a really nice professional touch.

Reusable Shopping Bag Tutorial
I've been meaning to make nice shopping bags for about two years, and I finally sat down yesterday afternoon and did it. I wanted something beautiful to carry all the groceries and these are way better than the crumpled paper sacks I've been using.
I made each bag with less than 1/3 of a yard of fabric. I used some upholstery scraps that I had in my cabinet, so I didn't have to buy anything!

Upcycled Sweater Coat DIY Tutorial
How to make a coat from recycled jumpers. I have made my own version of the patchwork jumper coat. It feels like wearing a large cosy blanket. Every time I put on this coat I wonder, “Does this make me look like a crazy old vagrant lady?” And then I whisper, “Who said that?”
Spiderweb Quilt Block Tutorial
These 8” Spiderweb Blocks are easy to make and are a great way to use up tiny scraps. I used a technique called foundation piecing, which means that the pieces of the block are sewn to a stabilizing “foundation.” Spiderwebs and other string blocks (blocks that use lots of skinny strips of fabric) can be foundation-pieced to paper, which is torn away after sewing. However, for these small blocks, I used a fabric foundation, which doubles as the solid part of the blocks.
