Patterns, Techniques, Articles, Blogs, and other resources to learn how to sew
As fabric manufacturers are expanding the kinds of fabrics they’re selling, laminated cotton is becoming more widely available (and in some gorgeous prints, too!). The polyurethane coating means that you’ll need to handle it differently than a 100% cotton quilting fabric.
Kathy from Pink Chalk Fabrics shares some tips for sewing with laminated cotton. Get the tips.

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!
It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.
Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
Where can I find that type of fabric?
I simply adore Amy Butler’s fabrics! Just found someone who does splat mats in these new Amy Butler laminates and thought I’d share. Baby’s Indulgence at http://www.babysindulgence.etsy.com
