Tutorial: Grocery bag holder and disepnser

July 21, 2013 by Anne Weaver

Leah at Phat Quarters show how to make a grocery bag holder and dispenser. The plastic bags are easily inserted into the top of the bag. Then, when you need to grab a bag, a drawstring hole at the bottom allows you to pull them out one at a time. She pieced several coordinating prints together to make stripes around the bag, but you could also make it from a solid piece of fabric. Even with the piecing, she says it can be made in just 30 minutes. Go to the tutorial.

The bottom is actually just elastic, not drawstring. Very simple & I hope you enjoy the tutorial! 🙂

Freebie: Printable Christmas Eve magic pillowcase poem

With all the excitement and expectation of Santa’s visit, it can be hard for kids to go to sleep on Christmas Eve. Melissa from Polka Dot Chair created special pillowcases for her nephews, to be used only on Christmas Eve. When she gave them to them, she included a little poem explaining that they’re magic pillowcases to help them have sweet dreams. She’s sharing a free printable of the poem on her blog, plus she links to a tutorial she’s written for making a pillowcase, so you can start the tradition with your own kids.
