Patterns, Techniques, Articles, Blogs, and other resources to learn how to sew
Lex shows how she made the textured stripes on a new pillow sham for her bedding set. The monochromatic palette (hers is all white fabrics) let the textures of the fabrics and stitching become the stars of this beautiful pillow. Get the tute.

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!
It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.
Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
Hi!
I just found your Website and I am anxious to try out some of your patterns. My granddaughter married in December, 2010 and I want to get started making things for a baby. They say they don’t want to get pregnant for another five years, but we will see. I may not be around in five years so I want to make things for my first great-grandchild. My daughter died in 1992 of breast cancer. She was great at all crafts
I loved the porcupine pincushion but the instructins for making it are no longer available. I was able to get the sides but not the middle part (the part that makes it stand up and I have no idea how to make that. My daughter (my granddaughter’s Mother) died in 1992 of breast cancer. My granddaughter was 7 when her Mother died and my grandson was 4 1/2. She was great at all crafts and she would have loved to make things for her granddaughter. I want to stand in the gap as much as I can.
My e-mail address is [email protected]
Thank you very much.
