Tiny little coin pouches are so fun to sew and maybe even more fun to stuff! This little coin pouch tutorial makes a perfectly sized mini pouch that is great for using as a little wallet. Since it's summer-time, a coin purse is perfect for bringing change to the pool for snack breaks (ie junk food breaks, if you're my kids). Little coin pouches are also great for tiny little toys, too, maybe for your LOL doll clothes or similar tiny toys that always get lost! The coin pouch tutorial is very similar to the basic zipper pouch ...Continue Reading

This pattern has quickly become my go-to easy dress pattern for sundresses made of favorite fabrics! I love sewing with quilting cottons and love making apparel with the gorgeous prints and lightweight fabrics and it's so fun ...Continue Reading
10 Ways to use the Cricut Maker for Quilting
This post, 10 Ways to use the Cricut Maker for Quilting, is sponsored by Cricut! You've probably figured out by now that I LOVE MY CRICUT MAKER! I've used it for so many projects and the quiet whirrrrr of the machine cutting has become one of my favorite parts of my sewing space. Many of the projects I've been able to make are things I really couldn't do (or wouldn't attempt!) without the Maker. I couldn't sleep all night the first day I was introduced to the Cricut Maker, instead I stayed up brainstorming projects and ideas. Some of those ...Continue Reading

Quilt of the Month // Pixie Dust Quilt Block
It's time for Quilt Block of the Month! Each month (or so..) I'm sharing a 10" by 10" quilt block that you can use to create an entire quilt, or sew 1 at a time to create a sampler quilt! Today's quilt block is called the Pixie Dust Quilt Block because it has a little bit of a pixie magical feel to it. There are 5 pieces in each quilt block and you use 5 different fabrics in the block. Each piece of fabric is a nice band that shows good amount of the fabric so you can use fabrics with a little bit of a bigger scale. I think this quilt pattern ...Continue Reading
