Another project in the recent Making magazine from Maddermade (same issue with my native coaster project), was this great Petal Pouch pattern by Noodlehead. Of course I had to make one--in Liberty and ...
Seabrook bags in Euclid.
It seems like I've been seeing good backpacks and bucket bags everywhere this year. Or maybe it's just that since they've been on my mind, I've been noticing them more and more. There's nothing more ...
Euclid Open Wide Pouches
These Euclid Open Wide Pouches were a blast to make. In fact, I've made several more since making these...and have given them all away. It's a super good project and a great gift. I found out about ...
Euclid Wrap Pocket Totes
Euclid starts shipping this month--yay! And to celebrate that, I plan to step up my sharing game on my Euclid projects. I've made so much stuff and haven't totally caught up on sharing it all. To ...
Two more Poolside Totes in Carkai and Euclid fabrics.
There are many things about the Poolside Tote by Noodlehead that make it addictive. There's the style, the functionality, and the fact that it's just fun to make and plan--all of which are excellent ...
Euclid Cooper Backpack
With another kid on the way, my sister had been hinting around about making a backpack to help her haul all the things she needs (and hands free...the beauty of a backpack). It's really exciting that ...

Crew Pincushion pattern.
I'll admit it, I'm a pin hoarder. As a result, it makes perfect sense that I've also developed an affinity and appreciation for pincushions. Just like how you'd want different pins for different ...
Euclid Fabric
Good news, I have a little something to share. Meet, Euclid--my newest fabric collection for Robert Kaufman. Euclid is quite a bit different from my other collections. First, this is an overprinted ...
Two Poolside Totes.
I made two Poolside Totes awhile ago and never got around to posting anything about them (...which happens). Since the pattern has been on my mind lately, I thought it'd be a fun one to share. The ...
Maker’s Tote for Mom.
I made this Maker's Tote for my Mom. She's also a maker and so a handy carry-all seemed like a great idea. The pattern is this new one by Noodlehead. I used fabric from all four of my ...
Carkai City Cargo Duffle
Ever since I made my first one, I knew it wouldn't be the last. This Carkai City Cargo Duffle is one that I made recently for a friend. The fabrics are Essex in Charcoal Yarn Dyed, Jay McCarrol ...
Best of 2015 + a giveway
It seems like every year goes by in a flash, and 2015 was no exception. While wondering where it all went, I took a look back through my archives to find the best of 2015--an excellent exercise ...
Carkai Gatherer Crossbody Bag by Noodlehead.
This bag--the Gatherer Crossbody Bag (in carkai) by Noodlehead--is worth your while. Truly. Anna Graham continues to be the bag-designing master and (somehow) mind reader who knows exactly what I ...
Everglade Pincushions and some Carkai Cards.
When it comes to pincushion making, I have a hard time making just one... Gift sewing is upon us. And even though I can't always promise punctuality with my gifting, I am a big proponent of the ...
