Just kidding 😂 But I will admit, I spend 8-10 hours doing this for each pattern. After thousands of step ups on my kitchen chair I’m going to be angry if my 🍑 isn’t looking better.

Time for Giveaway Bundle Number 6! This box has Time for Giveaway Bundle Number 6!

To enter this giveaway answer the following question: 

Name a pattern or design (bag or quilt) that you would suggest for someone who is just starting out sewing. Something easy yet satisfying to get them into this craft. 

For me, I always recommend the Itty Bitty Boxy Bag. Yes, I know it's my own pattern, but that little stinker is CUTE and quick. The perfect gateway bag to our world 😉. 

The Rules:

This week’s tutorial is for a wallet that MUST be This week’s tutorial is for a wallet that MUST be made more than once. The adorable Brooke Bifold from @lindshandmade is addictive!

It’s the perfect size for quick trips, kiddos, travel and gifting. And it’s so much fun to mix and match vinyl scraps, coming up with a new look each time.

This is also the Jan/Feb Bag Making Babe Box, which I’m referring to as the Bestie Box! You’ll have everything you need to make two coordinating Brooke wallets. Perfect for Galentine’s Day! 

Have a great week friends!

Don't you worry, I haven't forgotten about our giveaway palooza... and we're now on to Bundle 5!

Ok, easy question to answer for this:

What sewing project are you currently working on? Or if you're in between projects, what's next? A bag? A quilt? Let us know! And if you can tell us the designer and/or pattern name that would be great too. Let's all build a list of fun projects to work on this winter.

I just finished a Totes Cute Tote today and my next project is an easy wallet. It's a custom pattern (by yours truly) that will hopefully come together as planned and can be shared with everyone soon.

Thank you so much to everyone who offered question Thank you so much to everyone who offered question suggestions for these remaining giveaway bundles!

Let's get to Bundle 4!

To enter this giveaway, answer the following question in the comments: 

Do you have a non sewing tool that you use while sewing? For example, are you using a butter knife to smooth out corners? Tongs to birth bags? Let me know the oddest tool you use when sewing! If you are a sewing-tool purist, then what is a tool you have that might look different than what it's for?

Most of us are very familiar with a stiletto, but when a non-sewer walks in my room that is a tool that often scares them. I mean, it could definitely do some damage. And when I drop it on the floor I have the FASTEST feet. No way am I letting that get me.
