Tutorial: Make travel storage bags from old pillowcases

Tutorial: Make travel storage bags from old pillowcases

Keep your suitcase organized with a set of travel storage bags!  Pam from Threading My Way shows how you can make them from pillowcases. One pillowcase makes 2 drawstring bags and 1 envelope closure bag.  Use the bags as shoe bags, dirty laundry bags, lingerie bags, or to just keep your clothing organized by type.

Monday Musings: My Fabric Stash is Judging Me (A Love-Hate Relationship)

I have a problem. Well, several problems, but today we’re talking about the 37 yards of fabric currently taking up residence in my closet. Some of it’s been there so long it could legally vote. That beautiful linen? Bought for a specific project in 2018. The designer wool? “Too nice to cut.” The rainbow of quilting cotton? Well, it was on sale.

Every time I open that closet, I swear the fabric whispers, “Remember when you were going to make that dress?” The guilt is real. But so is the joy of petting my hoard like a fabric dragon sitting on her treasure.

Last week I tried the KonMari method. I got as far as “does this spark joy?” before buying three more yards of floral voile. Some habits die hard.
