Both liZ and I love to sew clothing and apparel but in the last couple of years I have gotten into quilting. And one thing that I have found with quilting is that after making a few quilts that I have lots of extra quilt blocks! So, I have been trying to find fun projects that incorporate some of those lovely quilt blocks into useful projects! What a better way to use up a leftover quilt block than a quilt block pocket. Below is the quilt block pocket tutorial.... skirt fabric elastic ... View the Post
Color Blocked Skirt Tutorial (Super EASY!)
Today we have an EASY color blocked skirt tutorial for you! Actually we've shared this tutorial with you once before but back then we called it the "Melon Blocked Skirt". Remember this? Since then I don't know how many of these exact same skirts I've made. I loved them then and I love them now. The original skirt was loved to pieces and no longer fits either of my girls. But Grace wears this neon and white one ALL THE TIME. As you can see by the photographs the skirt has seen some ... View the Post
Quilted Zipper Pouch Tutorial
Zipper pouches are one of my absolute go-to's for a handmade gift. I think I love them most because they are simple (don't be afraid of the zipper part....they are easy!) and I can whip one up in an afternoon which is a quick success when it comes to sewing projects. I have created a short tutorial to show you how I make my easy quilted zipper pouches and I hope that you will try one. (And then you might get addicted too ;) ) I made this one for a quick gift this last week. I added in some ... View the Post
The Art of Homemaking: Like Mother Like Daughter

After some time on my lap and some rocking in the rocking chair she told me all about it: In her class on Friday they took pictures of themselves to give to their moms for Mother's Day and she RUINED her picture. RUINED ... View the Post
Easy Fabric Bookmark
Do you need a fast and simple gift? Well, these easy fabric bookmarks are a little handmade touch to go with a store-bought book as a gift and are so cute sticking out of the side. And I love them because they won't damage a book! They are perfect sewing project for any age and are also a perfect scrap buster for tiny pieces of fabric that you have left-over from other projects. Hannie helped me with this one and the only part I did was the top-stitching (mostly because she had a friend ... View the Post
