Denim Gadget Case
This got featured on Gizmodo !! Click here to see it Over the summer holidays i've been doing a lot of stuff, and like a real man, i wore jeans. However the things i do are so awesome the jeans couldn't take it any more and big holes apeared at the knees. Usually this would be fine and i would just keep wearing them, but for some bizarre reason all the silly kids think its cool to wear pre-ripped jeans, so not wanting to look like lesser men i went out and bought some new man-jeans. So i decided to put my old jeans to a good use and make an iPod case, i wanted to keep the coolest part about jeans which is the leather label on the waistband. Why you should make one now: ToughDurableAwesomeManlyHas a built in belt loopSchool is starting, you need a case.You can modify the sizing for any gadget you want ! Check out the pictures below, it looks awesome and you wont find a manlier case until you make one out of stone (or fire)
Fat Quarter Project ~ Produce Bags
Deirdre (a.k.a. WaterWorks via her career in stormwater engineering) joins us on the blog from We Are New Every Day. Deirdre creates these Mesh Panel Produce Bags as a cheery, re-usable option for fruits and veggies at the market. Learn more about Deirdre in her introduction, and let us know in the comments when you make your own set of produce bags! I enjoy using eco-friendly, fun foodie print bags to gather my produce from Farmer’s Markets and from the grocery. A set of these bags would make a great gift for Mother’s Day, teachers, and good friends. Materials/Notions: 1 Fat Quarter per bag– Cute foodie print a must! All seam allowances are ¼” unless otherwise noted. Cutting the Fabrics: Cut two 3” wide strips from the 22” length of the fat quarter. Create the Main Bag Tube: Sew the mesh strip to the Main Bag piece along the two 18” lengths, forming a tube. Serge or zigzag the seam allowance and press toward the Main Bag fabric. Trim the seam and press it open.

sided pace mat tutorial yesterday and here I am hosting a second stop with a tutorial on how to make these easy-peasy organizer baskets! Not ready to think about Christmas yet? Me neither, but we know it will come before we know it! Jennifer picked this perfect timing to get this rolling so that we have plenty of time to whip up gifts! It's been over a year since I last posted a tutorial, so I was a bit nervous writing this up, although it is probably the easiest project among all sewing tutes I have ever written, hehe. so that the visual will help you through! Ok, here you go! To make one basket, you'll need two 13" x 7" cotton rectangles (one for exterior, one for interior) and one piece of cotton batting that is just a little larger than 13" x 7". Spray the wrong side of the interior piece and add the batting. Quilt as desired. Quilt along the line. This quilter accessory is such a big help! Like that. Here is how this looks after diagonal quilting is done. Yay quilting is done! Top-stitching!

Threading My Way: Denim Fabric Baskets Tutorial...
A few days ago, I showed you these fabric baskets that I had made using the legs of an old pair of jeans. They are just so quick and easy to make. Here's the how to, so you can make your own denim fabric baskets using pre-loved jeans. Materials: Choose a section of the leg of the jeans where the top and bottom of your cut piece are the same width. If your jeans are shaped and you cannot get a piece that is the same width top and bottom, you will need to unpick one seam and cut the fabric. The instructions are for jeans that can be used without the need to unpick the seams. Small basket: 1 piece 7.5 inches x 8 inches - jeans leg for the outside of the bag2 pieces 8 inches x 8 inches - contrast colour for the lining2 pieces 8 inches x 8 inches - interfacing Medium basket: 1 piece 8 inches x 8.5 inches - jeans leg for the outside of the bag2 pieces 8.5 inches x 8 inches - contrast colour for the lining2 pieces 8.5 inches x 8 inches - interfacing Large basket: Instructions: Sewing the lining: ...
Scrappy Happy Scarves Tutorial
Let me tell you had much fun I had making these. I seriously want to start up a scarf making business, hit the road and do shows selling them. I had to reel it back in because I might have too much going on to fit that in, but let's just say I was excited. These are FUN to make! The scarf body is knit, so it's super soft around your neck. Here's what you'll need: Desired length of scarf x 18"(mine are 40" long) Scraps of fabric measuring at least 8" x 6" 18' or longer trim pieces felt, velvet, tulle, etc for flower layers Instructions: 1. 2. 3.Square up the knit fabric so it measures approximately 18" by the length you would like for your scarf. 4. 5. 6. 7. Flower Embellishment Instructions: 1. Full size pattern pieces can be downloaded and printed here. You can find kits for the scarves in my webstore. Have a great day!
Fabric Basket Tutorial with Delia Creates
Hi U Create fans! I am super excited to be here for the Summer Fat Quarter Series. Today, I am sharing a simple project that takes just two fat quarters and some interfacing. It's reversible too! :) Let's get right to it, shall we? Materials: two fat quarters 1/2 yard of stiff fusible interfacing contrasting or matching thread rectangular fabric scraps (preferably matches your fat quarters and no smaller than 4x4 inches) fabric glue That's it! Please note: I made two baskets so you will see the fabric interchange in some of the steps. -Wash and press your fat quarters. - Following the manufacturers instructions, fuse each piece of fabric with interfacing. - Clean up the edges of your fat quarters to make everything nice and even and so that there are no frayed edges. - Stack your two fused fat quarters and cut them again if needed so they are the same size. - Cut five by five inch squares from each corner. - Go HERE to download my fabric handle pattern. - Pin the corner edges together.
