Sew Saturday: ragdoll bassinet



This little bassinet was made from one quilted pillowcase, well sham. I recently redid our guest room and was left with two reversible, yet stained, Martha Stewart pillow shams. They are quilted and ready for a good upcycle. I found this darling tutorial by Dana at MADE. 

My baby girl loves to tote her Ragdolls in her very own Bassinet.

Sew Saturday: weekender travel bag

Have you had the pleasure of making the Weekender Travel Bag by Amy Butler? This is #7 for me, I believe. It gets easier the more you do. I don't even have to look at the directions any more which helps cut down some time. My first few used to take about 10 hrs from cutting to ironing on interfacings and sewing and inner and outer piece. This one took me more like 8 hrs. I did skip the side pockets that belong on the outside. I think it would look better with them. I regret not adding them. But I have yet to add piping. I don't think I ever will. The Weekender looks great with or without the piping. Do you skip any steps in patterns you purchase?

Sew Saturday: apple bib



I made this little cute apple bib for my little girl. I designed the dies to be used for appliqué but you can also cut paper for cards or scrapbooking or even felt for bean bags like these....


Or this Tooth Fairy Pouch....

Sew Saturday: Divided Basket for Baby

I really enjoy making baby gifts.
I used noodlehead's Divided Basket tutorial.
It's unique in the fact that you'll learn how to make two sections in the lining of the basket. I used Pellon Craft Bond for the lining interfacing and Fusible Fleece for the outer fabric. The basket is sturdy ....and stunning, IMHO. The lining fabrics are from JoAnns and the outer home dec fabric was found at a fabric depot in Williamsport, PA. The bias tape was a freebie from an Etsy shop order. I love how the fabrics work together. The pocket on the front has three sections. Great for diaper cream, mommy's lip balm, etc. Needless to say, it was hard to give up this pretty little gender neutral basket. However, I know it will be very useful. It's great to have diapers and wipes handy when you're not in the baby room or you could keep it in the car. We keep ours in the living room since our baby's room is on another floor. I'll share that one soon too.











By the way, you can make your very own Build-a-Rag Doll (like the one in the basket) with metal cutting dies from Clear & Simple Stamps. When you order it comes with a full How-to Tutorial that I wrote. Base Dies, Girl Dies, Boy Dies.

Handmade Bag Sale Preview

Here's a little preview of some of the bags that will be going up for sale in my Etsy Shop next week. The shop hasn't been open for some time so I'll need to dust off the cobwebs and find my way around again. Until then enjoy the preview....

Sew Saturday: wallet for boy

My six year old requests lots of little sewing jobs....
this is one of them. I found another great tutorial at Noodle-head.
Anna makes easy to follow tutorials. This one is the
basic boys wallet tutorial. Of course, my six year old loved it and
shoved it right into his back pocket.

Sew Saturday: organizer wallet

Welcome Sew Saturday followers.... I am getting a lot of new
followers and wonderful comments due to this new series of
sewing posts. Thank you.

Today I want to share this darling little wallet I found
as a free tutorial from LBG Studio. It took me about 3 hours
to make. I used some lovely Notting Hill fabrics by Joel Dewberry
and the animal print fabric is from a bundle called Tonal 2 Bundle
from JoAnn Fabric.






I made this little wallet to match the
handmade retro metro bag
that I made from scratch a few weeks back.
