Patterns, Techniques, Articles, Blogs, and other resources to learn how to sew
Crafting a Green World shows how you can make a chalkboard eraser. It’s easy to make out of a rectangle of felt. You can add a loop at the end so it hangs conveniently from a hook. And if you’re making the eraser to accompany a small chalkboard for a child to carry with them, the soft felt eraser easily stashes inside a tote bag or pocket. Go to Crafting a Green World for the how-to.

I like having a little extra coverage when I wear leggings, but I could never find a cute top that was just the right length. So I decided to make this Easy Sew Shirt Extender! This is so simple to sew and is an easy sewing project for beginners. It is easy to layer under your shirt or top of choice and I added some lace trim to mine for a fancier look. You can mix and match colors and fabrics to suit your needs!
