I've got a new pattern out! Yay! This pattern first came about when I needed a handmade gift for an exchange at CityCraft for our Christmas party a couple of years ago. Since the first one, I've made a few more, used it for a bit, and made a few adjustments to make it the ultimate tool storage apron! Now it's 100% ready for you! As usual you can purchase either the printed copy or a PDF that will be emailed to you directly following your purchase. Find the patterns here. The front has 8 pockets in varying sizes for holding all your most used tools. The thread bin has a tiny pocket, just the right size for your thread snipper! It … [Read more...]

Grocery Tote Pattern

I'm loving all my fun grocery totes to take to the store with me! I made some that are more my style on one side, and more of my husbands' style on the inside. That way we can both use the same ones, we just flip it whichever way we prefer! I definitely see more of these in my future! … [Read more...]
Tutorial Tuesday: Vinyl Covered Zippered Pouch
Wow, it's been a while. I've been so busy with my job at CityCraft that I've been horrible at documenting what I've been doing here! Last year was a crazy year in oh so many ways! Can't wait to start sharing some more projects with you though! I've already got Tutorial Tuesdays planned for all of January and couldn't be more excited! First up for January is a vinyl covered zippered pouch. This project came about because I wanted to laminate some cute fabrics that aren't available in oilcloth or laminated cotton. (There is an iron on vinyl product but I tried it and really didn't like how it turned out!) So this is my fix! Hope you like … [Read more...]
