For the times when a sewing project calls for a shank button when you’ve only got flat buttons, Gail Patrice from Gail Patrice Designs has the answer. She shows three methods for adding a shank to a flat button – using thread, using another button, and using a bead. Get the how-to.

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.
