Patterns, Techniques, Articles, Blogs, and other resources to learn how to sew
Leslie from Leslie’s Art and Sew shares a tutorial on her blog showing how to make her Scrappy Snappy Pouches. The small pouches are just the size for carrying your ID, your spare change, and maybe a bit of folded money. The outside of the pouch is pieced from small scraps of fabric. These would make fun little gifts for friends! Get the tutorial.

The paper bag pants pattern is a favorite of casual chic dressers. It is a super easy project perfect for sewing over the weekend. If you pair it with a cardigan and booties, vans shoes or sandals it is sure to become your favorite outfit when you are hoping to look cool but not overdressed.
Two pockets in the front will ensure you can carry a few things like your phone and wallet.
The elastic waistband gives you room for a curvy bum or gives shape to a flat one. Two pockets in the front and a belted waistband to tie your pants around your waist, tapered legs that fall just above your ankles round up this very comfortable design.
