Traveling Bags
Summer is the time for travel, and this week’s featured bag is made just for that. I originally made this bag and its twin as carrying cases for my sewing machine using (out of print) Simplicity 7087. I discovered my machine fit into the bag just fine as long as I left t ...

This week's Bag of the Week is the Safari Bag. You can read more about this bag in my previous post (New Beginnings). I have created a tutorial describing how I made this bag so you can create one for yourself. The sidebar on the right hand side of the screen contains a tab for Tutorials. Enjoy.

Chubby Little Snowman Pail
Chubby Little Snowman had a carrot nose,
Along came Mr. Bunny and what do you suppose?
Hungry little bunny, looking for his lunch
Ate the snowman's carrot nose, nibble, nibble, CRUNCH!

The Ribbon Handled Bag
Before my first son was born in 2006 I used to teach kids to sew at G Street Fabrics . I really loved working with blooming sewing enthusiasts and was always pleased at how proud they were with their creations (even when they were terrible). One week I was called and aske ...

I love to make bags: purses, totes, shoe bags, pails. You get the idea. In fact, I have made and photographed nearly enough “bags” (some of the items may be somewhat loosely defined) to feature a bag a week for the entire year. Check back each week for new ideas and pictures. Tutori ...

The Museum Bag
I don’t know about where you are, but here in the greater Washington DC area this week’s temperatures have topped the 90 degree mark. Summer has arrived for sure. And the hot, hot colors in this week’s bag just shout summer to me.
Several years ago my ...
