Traverse Bag in Gleaned.
Making a Traverse Bag (pattern by Noodlehead) was a long time coming. Ever since releasing the pattern earlier this year, it had been on my list. Before the hurricane, before the rush of Quilt Market ...
Wildabon Market Tote.
Sometimes (/most of the time) I get stuck on an idea that I can't wait to see through. This Wildabon Market Tote is one of them. Wildabon has been such a fun project in every way, and I've been eager ...
Liberty and Euclid Petal Pouch.
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 ...
Euclid Double Zip Wallet
This Euclid Double Zip Wallet is a project from Anna Graham's Handmade Style book, a project that I've been super eager to make. It has always looked so clever and handy. Plus, my own wallet has been ...
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 ...
Nest Egg tote meets Alturas.
I made this for a friend... ...using my new nest egg tote pattern and a block from my alturas quilt. The fabrics are a mix of things that I pulled on the fly. There's some doe, botanics, and ...
Sewing for baby: Go Anywhere bag by Noodlehead.
In addition to the baby Totem quilt, I also wanted to make my sister a diaper bag before the arrival of her new baby. After doing some research--which included polling Moms who sew--I got the tip that ...
Trail Tote pattern for Doe by Noodlehead.
I'm such a fan of Anna Graham of Noodlehead. And so is Nichole, which is the first thing that we talked about when getting together at Quilt Market. See Nichole's bag? Yep, that's an Anna, ...
New Pattern: The Nest Egg tote in Doe Fabric.
Remember the Nest Egg? Well, it's back in print form and officially part of my own pattern line. Plus, I've got all new versions made up in Doe. Here are the new three that I ...
The Nest Egg tote.
Introducing the Nest Egg--my newest pattern and contribution to the Road Trip Pattern Club. (UPDATE: Pattern now available here.) I had a lot of fun putting this project together! It all started ...
