Grommets
Ragged Edge Tote in Two Sizes
Ragging – letting your seam allowances show and fray on the outside – is traditionally found on blankets, pillows + quilts. We stepped outside that box to use the technique on a pair of trendy canvas + flannel totes.
Striped Outdoor Pillow with Lace-Up Closure
Here’s a wonderful way to freshen up your space – indoors or out. Our pillow design features criss-cross lacing along the front closure to add a nautical spin. Bold stripes, cut in different directions, are a perfect fabric choice.
Ribbon Wrapped Bucket Bag
Our tall drawcord duffle is the perfect project to showcase a merry-go-round of colorful ribbons against a solid canvas. A ring of metal grommets allows the top of the bag to cinch closed with its own matching drawcord and slider.
Box Style Tote with Yarn Wrapped Handles
Our simple box tote adds eye-catching yarn wrapped handles + hand stitched accents for a pop of bold Summer color against a solid background. We chose fiery red, fresh green, and golden yellow. It’s surprisingly easy.
Sporty Summer Sling Bag
A single broad strap at the back makes this bag easy to sling over your shoulder and very comfortable to carry. There’s a drawcord top plus two exterior zippered pockets, so you’ll have plenty of room for all your summer supplies.
Beach Duffle Backpack
It’s a duffle and backpack in one! The drawcord top looks great and makes it fast and easy to load and unload. Then, slip it on as a backpack for hands-free strolling to the beach – or wherever the day takes you. The main fabric is quilting cotton!
Stylish Drawcord Backpack
We borrowed elements seen on boutique bags as well as street trends spotted on local school and college campuses. A top drawcord opening is covered by a flap, and the front pocket is fully lined with a secure zipper.
Lace Up Apron in Denim
This hardworking apron is full of clever surprises. The most striking is its cool lace-up front: bold eyelets woven through with a boot lace. There’s also a hanging pocket that moves with you and a bright pop of color on the lining.
Classic Canvas Bucket Bag with Drawcord Top
A crisp, cute bag with a bucket shape and cinched top – it’s a silhouette popular season after season. We created our sample in a modern canvas with polished nickel hardware and a twisted cord for the signature drawstring closure.
How to Install Metal Grommets + Eyelets
From getting the spacing right, to cutting holes in the fabric, to the actual installation process, we’re here to prove you can conquer this hardware at home and get a professional result. Plus you get to hit stuff with a hammer!
The Retro Diner Bucket Bag
It’s a fabulous fifties flashback – retro cool but with modern features that make it easier to construct. We love the bold chevron accent on the front and back, reminiscent of the two-tone tail fins of the ’50s era cars.
Round Hot Pads with Circular Decorative Stitching
The Janome Circular Sewing Attachment, Aurifil Thread, and multiple rows of decorative stitching work together to create a “round-tastic” set of hot pads. Add a special recipe or unique seasoning for an excellent gourmet gift.
Decorative Stitch Hot Pads
This happy pair of hot pads is all about the beauty of a perfect line. We selected a wide stripe for the front, then highlighted it with parallel rows of bright decorative stitching. Wrap up several as a unique host/hostess gift.
