Sewing tutorial: Scented mug mats

These scented mug mats would make great handmade Christmas gifts for friends, neighbors, and coworkers!  Spices or potpourri tucked between the layers of the mug mat will make a nice scent when you place a warm mug on it.  Patti from Hearth & Vine shows how you can make them.  You can sew them up quickly using charm squares.  (Or, raid your scrap stash and cut a bunch of 5″ squares to use!)

Sewing Pattern – DIY Beach Towel Bag

If you are like me you want an easy way to carry your towel and a few items to the beach but don’t want a bag just to hold those things.

So I came up with the idea to make a beach towel bag. This way it is a bag that can hold a few items but also function as your towel. I love it! I share with you how you can make your own beach towel bag.

This is an easy sewing project that is perfect for summer! I even made a few for my kids so they each have their own. Start sewing this fun bag today.
