my craftsy class, yay !!!

Hello lovelies, remember when I talked about the amazing opportunity I had a few weeks back when I flew to Denver and recorded a sewing class with Craftsy ? Yeah, the class is now live and it all is super surreal, and exciting, and intimidating all at the same time, eeeeek !!! My class Giftable Projects: Zippered Bags and Purse Organizer is a six lesson class with detailed instructions and lots of tips on how to make three different zipper pouches. Would you like to see the pouches I designed for the class? Here we go.  Easy Coin Pouch with removable wrist strap is the first (and easiest project). I love this sweet little pouch and have made quite a few of them for my daughters and their friends already.  The second pouch I teach is Double Zip pouch which makes a perfect pencil pouch or make up bag. I'm also thinking it would make a great hand sewing supplies pouch. Oh, the possibilities :) Last, but definitely not least, is this Keep it Ne...

drawstring bag in four sizes {new pdf pattern}

Hello friends!

I'm super excited to show you my newest pattern today.


If you've been reading my blog for a while you know I greatly enjoy making (and using) drawstring bags. I love how quick and easy to make they are. Plus, they are perfect to keep projects on the go, toys, craft supplies, ... organized.


This pattern includes instructions on how to make fully lined drawstring bags in four different sizes. And, each bag can be made using just one print or is perfectly suited to be made using 2.5" squares if you prefer a more patchwork-y look (instructions for both versions are provided).


As I said before, I love using drawstring bags to keep my projects organized, especially my knitting. I made myself quite a few bags already and I keep all the supplies I need for that project in one bag.



I usually make the large size drawstring bags for my knitting, the medium and small sizes are perfect for smaller knitting or crochet projects, and the mini one is just the right size for all the notions.

This is an easy, beginner friendly pattern and here are the dimensions of finished bags:

mini: 4” wide x 5 1/4” tall x 2” deep
small: 4 1/2” wide x 8 1/2” tall x 3” deep
medium: 5 1/2" wide x 10” tall x 4” deep
large: 8 1/2” wide x 11 1/2” tall x 5” deep

Drawstring bag pattern is now available at my etsy shop or you can purchase it directly by clicking on the button below. The price of this pattern is $5.00.

Hope you will enjoy making these super handy drawstring bags as much as I do :).

Wishing you all a lovely day. Svetlana

un-paper towels (a quick tutorial)

Hello friends, I hope 2018 is off to a good start for you all! I'm not a fan of new year's resolutions as I tend to break them almost as soon as I think them up :),  but I did decide to focus more on producing less waste this year. My whole family is on board (which makes even small changes a lot more doable) and our first task is to work on reducing the amount of paper and plastic products we use in our kitchen. To start things off, I decided to replace our paper towels with a bunch of fabric un-paper towels . I came across quite a few suggestions on how to make these - some were just plain fabric, others had little snaps or grommets attached. In the end I went with a simple combination of cotton fabric and terry cloth, not adding any hardware as I worried that it might scratch my dishes or counters. I used some pretty fabric that's been sitting in my stash for far too long to make these. I even had some terry cloth on hand so the whole process was super quick and very, ve...
