Patterns, Techniques, Articles, Blogs, and other resources to learn how to sew
Chica and Jo share a tutorial showing how to make a unique purse that looks just like an old style rotary phone. That’s because they use the parts of an old phone . The receiver becomes the purse handle, and the cord (remember when phone had those??) becomes the strap. The rotary dial embellishes the front of the purse. Even better – the rotary mechanism still works! How utterly cool is that! Get the tutorial at Chica and Jo.

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!
