Free pattern: Peek-a-boo t-shirt

Mayra from So Sew Easy shares a free pattern for the Peek-a-boo shirt.  It’s a loose fitting t-shirt that looks dressier than your standard t-shirt.  The neck ties at the front, right above a neat cut out detail.  It has an A-line shape that gives plenty of room through the mid section.  It’s long enough to wear with leggings if you like, but it also would look nice with jeans.  The free pattern comes in women’s sizes 8-20.

  1. THANK YOU!

    I gained about 15 pounds after my hysterectomy (ovaries and all) last year, and as a very vain woman, it’s embarrassing… I have always found ladies clothes uncomfortable anyway (why IS that??), but now that I’m heavier, it’s even worse, because I have fluff where I used to have none. This will help tremendously!

Sew a Pincushion for Pins, Needles, and Fabric Clips

It doesn’t matter whether you sew by hand or by machine, you need a pincushion.  You need a spot to parks pins and needles and keep them within easy reach for when you need them again.  There are a lot of styles of pincushion to choose from.  Some magnetic, some fabric.  Some cute, some purely functional.  This “little bit extra” pincushion has a spot to store all the different types of pins and needles you might need while sewing.  Polka Dot Chair has a free sewing pattern you can use to make one for yourself.

This handy little pincushion has a circular shape and is divided into sections to store different types of pins.  The bottom section is for your regular straight pins.  Just poke them in and they’re ready for when you need them.  The top has one section with a felt flap perfect for holding your sewing needles.  I don’t know about you but I don’t like mixing my hand sewing needles in with my pins on a pincushion.  It makes it hard to find the needle when I want it.  So having a separate section for the needles is a great idea.

This “little bit extra” pincushion also has a spot to hold a few fabric clips.  Fabric clips have become popular alternatives to a traditional straight pin.  They hold fabric pieces together without piercing the fabric, which is important when sewing leather, vinyl, or other materials that will show permanent holes from pins.

You can sew the “little bit extra” pincushion from large fabric scraps or small fabric cuts (fat eighth).  You probably already have all the supplies you need to sew one in your sewing supplies already.
