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...

alice purse {new pdf pattern}

Hello everyone,

I am super, super, over the moon excited to introduce my newest pattern to you today.


This is Alice.

She's a super handy everyday bag with three zipper pockets (two on the outside, one in the lining), one slip pocket, magnetic snap closure, reinforced bottom for extra durability, as well as an adjustable strap.



She's quite something, isn't she? I'm totally in love with those zipper pockets. I think they make for one very chic, as well as practical purse.

Finished size of this purse is 11" wide x 10" tall x 3.5" deep.


Materials needed to make Alice Purse:
(fabric requirements are based on 42” wide fabric, 1FQ measures 18” x 21”)
fabric A – 1FQ
fabric B – ¾ yard
fabric C – ½ yard
fabric D - 1FQ
Pellon fusible fleece TP971F – ½ yard
SF 101 interfacing (or other medium weight fusible interfacing of choice) – 1 ½ yards
two - 6” long metal or nylon zippers
one – 8” long metal or nylon zipper
one – magnetic snap closure
two - 1” rectangle or circle strap rings
one - 1” rectangle strap slider

 And, once again, I've enlisted help from some super talented ladies to test the pattern for me. I hope you enjoy seeing all the gorgeous Alice purses they made.




This stunning beauty was made by Jamie. Such a fabulous fabric combo. Love, love, love.


I'm a huge fan of Cotton and Steel fabric (especially these adorable striped cats) and I'm smitten with Jennie's  beautiful Alice Purse.


Sandie used Kraft Tex to make her Alice. What a great idea! I love the final look.


Sonia made this beautiful sunny purse. So pretty!


Love the large floral print Bev chose for her purse. It looks perfect in combination with linen and that striped lining. Just lovely!


Last, but definitely not least is this beauty by Zen. Such a happy looking purse.


Thank you, ladies for making such fabulous bags and all the useful feedback on how to make this pattern better and more user friendly. I greatly appreciate all your help.

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...
