I’ve seen some cool sewing projects using burlap coffee sacks.  The only problem is, I don’t have any burlap coffee sacks.  Creative Little Daisy wanted some coffee sacks for a project, and came up with a solution to that problem.  She…

Go to Amy Butler’s website to see the promotional photos of Love, her upcoming fabric line for Rowan Fabrics.  I have to admit, the very first sneak peeks I saw left me a little lukewarm, but these examples of the fabrics all…

Lookie what Swiedebie made!  It’s a sock monster (Larry’s his name) who opens his big wide mouth to hold your cell phone.  Read more about Larry the Sock Monster at her blog.

This guy’s already sold, but check her Etsy shop for other…
