Boho Shoulder Bag with Elastic Accents
Our fun and casual bag features two generous pleated pockets bound with fold-over elastic. It not only looks great, it’s also super functional; expandable pocket tops make dropping in items easy, even one-handed.
Make a Shirred Sundress
Learn how to do elastic shirring; it’s easier than you think thanks to elastic thread. Then, whip up a super cute summer sundress in your favorite fabric. Includes links to the full shirring tutorial and a matching sun top.
Elegant Quilted Table Runner
An exquisite ribbon can transform a simple rectangle of solid fabric into an elegant table runner. We quilted the center in a wide diamond pattern, and the ribbon frame extends beyond the edge at the corners with pretty loops.
Preppy Wave Tucked Handbag
Creativity is in the bag! Wave tucks are a fun way to add a textural focal point to any size bag. Don’t panic; this technique doesn’t require a bathing suit or a surfboard – all you need is your sewing machine and a desire for style!
Mom’s Favorite Apron
Close your eyes and imagine your mom, your grandma, maybe a favorite next door neighbor. The woman who was always wearing an apron as she bustled through her chores. This pretty apron is designed on that memory.
Fold Over Book Bag Tote
A versatile bag with two ways to carry. Opened up to its full 18″ height, you have a full-size tote with riveted carry handles. Fold over the top and use the shoulder strap to create a compact, purse-size carryall.
Double Sided Picnic Blanket with Carry Wrap
One side is cotton sateen, the other laminate, quilted together with polyester batting sandwiched between. We also created a clever carry wrap with shoulder straps. Fold and roll the blanket, wrap and Velcro® closed, and off you go.
Jumbo Lounge Pillow in Soft Sweatshirt Knit
I think anyone would love this amazingly comfy napping pillow. From the bed to the couch to the floor, our big, cushy pillow is the perfect way to rest your weary bones. We used a soft sweatshirt knit in a preppy color palette.
Full Length Cook’s Apron + Matching Hot Mitt
A “Great for Guys” design that works well for anyone flippin’ burgers for the backyard family picnic. It offers full coverage, wraparound ties, and jumbo front pockets – and there’s a hot mitt to match.
