Tutorial: Petite Pleated Pouch

by

Rikka from Ricochet and Away! shows how to make her Petite Pleated Pouch.  Given the name, it should be no surprise that it’s a small zippered pouch with a pleated detail on its body.  The pleats are stitched down in opposite directions on the top and the bottom of the panel to create a cool pleated wave effect.  She made the pouch for her Fab Folds Sewing Challenge, which is in the voting phase for the month of October.  Get the tute.  Or, check out the entries into her Fab Folds Sewing Challenge and vote for your favorite.

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.
