Maxi Skirt Round Up

  It's knit skirt season!!!! WAHOOO!  And one of the best kinds of knit skirts---the maxi skirt.   So, we have put together a Maxi skirt round up of some of our absolute favorite maxi skirt tutorials.  All of which are different (drop waist, pocket, full, pencil) so there are choices to find for every body shape and every age!  We do love our  maxi skirts and often joke with each other that they have become the new "momiform" all year round!  They are comfy and are also a quick, easy sew that ...

Quilt-as-you-go Tote Bag

Last week I pulled out some scrap fabrics to start a new quilt...but then decided to start a new project (I feel like I have crafting ADD sometimes) and make up a tote bag for summer instead.  The quilt is still cut and waiting for me, but I am waiting for a 50% off coupon so that I can get a whole bolt of Kona white for the sashings (I am a cheapskate....I know.) But I do love this bag.  It is BIG (great for summer) and it was an afternoon project. I used the quilt-as-you-go method that I ... View the Post
