Home - Victory Patterns ScrapBusters: Heart-Themed Gift Bags in Burlap & Cotton Our Valentines Day ideas continue today with the first in a series of three great gift bag options. We know you love fast and easy projects, but we also know that doesn't mean you want to skimp on cute or stylish. We have you covered with these sweet little sacks. First off, they're a ScrapBusters project, which means you're likely to already have everything on hand you need. We combined burlap and cotton with pretty ribbons. From oodles of candies and treats to a special spa collection, these bags hold a little or a lot, and they look great doing it. Check out our tutorial on Working with Specialty Fabrics for tips about sewing with burlap. These bags finish at approximately 6" wide x 7" tall. Any Sewing Machine (we recommend the Janome 3160QDC)Satin Stitch foot (optional but helpful for the appliquéd hearts) Supplies listed are for TWO gift bags. Cut EACH yard of ribbon into two equal 18" lengths. Create the bag Turn the bag right side out and press flat, using a pressing cloth. Binding

Sewing School Lazy picnics in the park, long walks on the beach or balmy evenings out with friends: there’s nowhere this breezily stylish summer frock won’t take you! For this fantastic free pattern, we’ve teamed up the lovely lasses from Pattern Runway, a new boutique pattern company with all kinds of stylish downloadable sewing patterns. Wear this little number with flats, with hats, with sunnies and with headscarves – dress it up or down for any occasion and enjoy sporting this seasonal staple all summer long. We made ours in a light, breathable cotton from The Fabric Store, but it also works well in lived-in linen or beautiful, draped silk – play around with different pattern options like stripes, polka dots, printed or plain. And the best thing about this fantastic frock? All the compliments (and requests) you’ll get when your friends find out that you made it with your own fair hands. Download the instructions here.

Patrons Imagewear | Imagewear Patterns aime comme Marie — Home The Ruby Slip - Free Pattern and Sewalong! The free pattern for the Ruby Slip is now available - yay! I have uploaded it to Google Docs and Scribd, so you can decide which is more convenient for you. Don't forget to download the instructions too, where you'll find the sizing and yields, cutting and sewing instructions. Google Docs: Scribd: I designed the pattern sheet with the pieces overlapping "Burdastyle style". I also forgot completely about the strap on the pattern sheet so I've given you a rectangular measurement to cut to - you might want to be aware of that if you want to whizz ahead and cut it out this weekend without reading the instructions! Here's the sew-along button - you can copy and paste it to the sidebar of your blog, and then link it to my new Sew-Along page (tab at the top) where I will assemble all the sew-along posts in one place for your convenience. Cheers Sherry
