Tutorial: Lunch Bag.
Thank you for encouraging me to write up a tute on this lunch (bento box) bag!
I really like this bag pattern because this bag, measuring approximately 9"(width) x 7 1/2"(hight w/o handles) x 5 1/2" (depth), can be used not only for bento boxes of any kind but also for carrying little crafty projects like yarn + needles. It has a cover inside that can give nice privacy for whatever in there and the cover can also prevent it from getting dusty in a windy day. It is much sturdier and larger than the fabric basket, so if you found that your fabric basket was too small or too floppy as a gift bag, this might be a good alternative..?! As usual, I have tons of images to share each step with you, so bare with me! There you go!! We'll need these pieces of fabric, As usual, all the measurement includes 1/4" seam allowances unless otherwise noted. Then press seam open. I am fusing it onto the wrong side of the outer bag piece.

My other pet peeve is only being able to find one when I need two. So I got to thinking….what if I put hot pads on the bottom of my apron? I tried to add some to an existing apron, but it was not wide enough, or long enough to work. Adorable DIY Ear Warmers. How gorgeous are these ear warmers??

And I always wanted a pettiskirt. My childhood friend had one, and we would wear it, then trade, then dance, then trade, etc. What a pain…….but I loved that thing. And wished it was mine. So making my little girl her own, was kind of like fulfilling that childhood dream of having a full and fluffy pettiskirt, all my own. What could be better? All of the ruffles, all of the layers………they will bounce right along with your free-spirited little girl. With all those soft layers, girls of all ages are bound to feel happy and free…. Turn a Onesie into a Bubble Dress. It’s that time again.
I’ve been digging through my kiddos’ drawers and finding the “too small” items that need to be weeded out and then deciding what needs to be donated and what can be………….salvaged. And well, babies always seem to have plenty of onesies that get a little snug in the length but still fit in the top. So why not give them a few more months of use and adjust them just a bit. Floating On Cloud9: Tutorial. I’ve been planning some baby gifts lately and I must say, My Happy Nursery couldn’t've come at a better time!
After doing a dry run on this simple and stylishly contoured burp cloth, I thought to share the project with you. I made these 4 in under an hour, so it’s a fast, practical but fun, last minute project, too. You can get 2 burp cloth faces out of a fat quarter (18″h x 22″w), which makes it economical if you made two of the same print per set- or even two sets of assorted patterns. Each is backed in our organic Cloud white flannel (1/2″ yard needed for 4). Renske’s minimalist tote bag. A talented seamstress with a mission, Renske Solkesz decided to create her own wardrobe after finding herself frustrated with high fashion prices. When we saw her chic and modern wardrobe creations, we asked if she’d be willing to create and share a fun accessory tutorial with us.
I’m super excited about what she’s come up with: an amazing self-closing utilitarian tote! I’m a huge fan of the graphic contrast and the leather and rivet details. Like her fashion designs, this tote is made from inexpensive materials, yet looks totally luxe. Travel Accessories: Plenty of Pockets Tote. When you're on the road, doesn't it always seems to be the ordinary, everyday things you are suddenly in desperate need of: gum, nail clippers, your headphones? I get a little panicky, certain I've left behind the most obvious items... as if perhaps I'm on an arctic expedition and won't see civilization for days. But the opportunity for replenishment doesn't matter; I want my stuff close at hand. That's the theory behind our handsome travel tote: plenty o' pockets to stash all your stuff. There are four big outside pockets plus a deep inside compartment (exactly deep enough for a magazine, I might add!)
