Last week can be best described as a banner mail week. I received the following little delights from our esteemed postman, Clem: A clever little booklight for my Kindle that I had ordered from Amazon, A new biking exercise DVD (yeah, yeah, it’s called “the best ride in town,” but despite the humorous name, it […]

I’ve been seeing about incorporating more grommets into my life. This is my first noble attempt – more a proof of concept, really – originally an attempt to make a bag to match my red coat. Alas, I do not find this to be a suitable match (not the shape I was looking for, really), […]

It’s kind of funny. When I made my last patchwork belt, I had no idea that I would end up wearing it about 3 times a week. It’s a great weekend belt with jeans, and somehow, it goes with just about everything. Given the success I’ve had with it, I thought I might spread the […]

I made this little wristlet for my friend Kim for the holidays. It’s about time I posted it! It was ready in December, but took me over a month to finally mail it, so it was in blog-off-limits mode until it made it safely into her hands! That day has come, and so it’s time […]

I need to (finally) make a bag to go with this coat (that is 2 years old) that is winter/snow appropriate and I need your help! I’m finding it a tough color to match to. This pink bag is no longer in my possession, but I find these fabrics a little too springy for the […]

Buttonholes seem to be one of the most scoured and studied aspects of a sewing machine when seasoned pros decide to get a new machine. Is the stitch quality good? Are they easy to make? Are they consistent? If you sew clothes, its these types of finishing touches that make all the difference. Many have […]

Are you sick of this fabric combo yet? I think I finally might be. It only took two bags, a business card holder, a cell phone charging basket, and a belt. Eesh! This bag is not my favorite, and I think that’s what put me over the edge with the fabric. It’s […]

A cell phone charging basket I recently made from the tutorial posted by Oh, Fransson! I like the way it turned out, and of course, this continues the slew of projects I’ve been making from Amy’s Midwest Modern fabric. Yum! Here’s the inside and back: The inside panels have been free-motion quilted (with the BSR […]

Happy new year, everyone! Hey look, it’s more Midwest Modern! I told you I was obsessed. I was heading to a conference recently and decided I needed me a business card holder, so here you go – a quickie Midwest Modern business card holder. It’s just a little lined pocket – nothing fancy – but […]
