Sometimes we want to make a cute little something for ourselves or to give to a fellow sewist who might not make enough things for herself.

Sew a needlebook lanyard

(Know anyone like that?) I rarely sew for myself, which is a shame, because I have so many ideas in my head. But this time I decided to sew a needlebook lanyard, so that I’d have access to my pins and needles while working on my “while I’m waiting” hand-stitching projects. You know the kind – the little projects to bring to the doctor’s office, to sew in the stands while waiting to see your child make that next big goal, or in front of the TV.

I always wound up sticking the needle in my pants leg because I didn’t have anywhere to put it! I sewed this needlebook lanyard a few months ago and didn’t make a tutorial for it (shocking, I know). Please don’t laugh at my less-than-perfect graphics skills; I’m very much a student with Adobe Illustrator!

Jumbo Round Storage Tote: Fabulous Fall with Fabric.com

Today's storage bin lives up to its jumbo name. As we kick off week #2 of our Fabulous Fall series with Fabric.com, we've created a large-and-in-charge fabric basket that's ready to take on your bigger storage tasks. From books to blankets to balls of yarn, if you have a lot to keep track of, this project is for you. We chose two bold fabrics in organic cotton. And what is that dynamite looking "rope" ringing the top and creating the handles?

We recommend using a medium to heavy weight fabric for the exterior, and Fabric.com has a huge selection from which to choose. Our exterior fabric is a organic cotton canvas by Birch Fabrics, which provides enough natural heft that a single layer of heavy fusible interfacing was enough to allow the basket to easily stand up on its own.

110 Creations: Sewing Project: An Accidental Maxi Skirt

I hate winter and the cold, because it means I can't wear pretty, flirty skirts. Last summer, with an infant in tow, I didn't wear many skirts because I typically needed pockets. I own about 10 skirts and only one has pockets, and it's actually a skort that I only wore when I played golf, pre-baby.

All of my skirts are neutral colors; white, black, grey, and brown. One of my goals for this summer is to make and wear more skirts, and to make them in PRINTS! In order to inject some more fun into my summer wardrobe, I have a few neutral print fabrics stashed away that I'd like to make into skirts. See? Enter McCall's 6288. Now I know what you're thinking. There is, however, a short skirt with pockets, though the model isn't doing anyone any favors and does not have her hands IN the pockets.

I decided to make this skirt without a lining, and without the elastic waistband. It's a pretty substantial knit, which is why it didn't need a lining. Pocket. Side seam. Way better! How to sew a round hem - FREE Sewing Patterns and Tutorials. Tutorial: How to Set in a Sleeve Without an Easing Stitch. For some reason, learning how to set sleeves into blouses or dresses can cause some sewists to break out in hives.

Tutorial: How to Set in a Sleeve Without an Easing Stitch

Part of the reason for this struggle can be poor pattern-drafting. Hear that! Not.Your.Fault! But with a properly drafted pattern you can often set the sleeve in without adding an easing stitch to your sleeve. What I mean by a properly drafted sleeve is one with a high sleeve cap that only has about 1 inch or less of difference between the armscye stitching line and the sleeve stitching line. 1. 2. 3.

Swoodson Says – Hugh Manatee Softie & Pattern Giveaway

Introducing Hugh Manatee from Lindsay at Lindsay Sews. I pattern tested this cutie and then shipped him to a friend, much to my son’s dismay. As a pattern tester, I received the pattern for free but all opinions are my own! He absolutely loved sitting on and wrestling my manatee! For a reference point, he is in size 24m clothes. The pattern is super easy to sew, takes a yard of fleece, and maybe an hour from start to finish. She's off to the Races - Once Upon a Sewing Machine. Anyone else feel like it is the summer of the racerback?

She's off to the Races - Once Upon a Sewing Machine

Maybe it is that Rachel has been working on sewing up two different women’s patterns and I couldn’t resist making up this version for M. Racerbacks are a fun and easy summer staple. This one comes with options for a dress or tank. M loves dresses, so I went for the dress. This project only had one big hitch and it wasn’t the pattern. This post contains affiliate links thanks for the support! I picked up a cute heart knit at my local Joann’s to make the racerback out of and threw it in the washer with several other cuts that were on my table. When we first put the dress on M, I was thrilled.

The aim to make a bag similar to this one. I decided to size it up to create an overnight bag for my daughter. As she doesn’t have such a bag I guessed the finished size, hoping it would be suitable for her PJ’s, toilet bag and change of clothes. First day of the sew-a-long, cut out, add interfacing and fusible fleece. Make the handles and sew onto the bag. The finished bag I created is 12″ by 16″ with a 4″ width. The handle length I debated about, in the end I decided on 14 1/2″ handles, and 25″ length for each side of the bag – totalling 79″ (just in case someone wishes to follow my measurements) Day Two -adding the internal pockets Next to create the internal pockets.
