Tutorial: Crafty Book & Binder Cover

August 27, 2016 by Anne Weaver

Who remembers covering your school books with kraft paper? You could fold a square of paper just right and it would fit snug around your book – without even using a piece of tape! Monica from It’s Just Sewing takes that concept and gives it a beautiful patchwork spin with her Crafty Book & Binder Cover. She keeps the kraft paper but adds some beautiful patchwork. Brilliant!! Check out her tutorial to see how she did it! Her tutorial is part of the Summer Sewing Series by Polka Dot Chair.

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.
