Jackets Techniques and Tutorials





Today I have amassed a few video's on how to do jackets. I was just surfing on youtube and stumbled across some videos that I think would be good for the beginner as well as the intermediate sewer.

Quilt Projects for Expo

So I have this book on mini quilts, that is aptly name Whip up Mini Quilts by Kathereen Riketson  and I decided that they may be more appropriate to do considering the time constraints.

New Bathroom Curtains

Effective 2 Hours Ago




Decided to make a clutch and purse... thinking about a belt. Got the pattern online from made by Rae(will update with website later). Loving it thoroughly. Played around with the shape a bit on the bag because I already had the nice rounded shape in the clutch. Think I might play around with the pattern a bit and do other variations. The bag was awesome and super easy... Like I said...Loving it.

Let me know what you think.
