Sassy Little Apron – Alternate Layout

Thursday, March 31st, 2011

Eva is teaching the Sassy Little Apron Class on Wednesday, April 20 from Noon – 3:00.  Here is the alternate cutting layout for you to follow.  (Photo 1)  If you do it this way, you will have a large piece of fabric left over rather than small, oddly-shaped scraps.  Photo 2 shows the layout for the ruffle and pockets.

Downtown Bag by Kati Cupcake

Thursday, June 10th, 2010

Gotta love this bag!  Kathy fell in love with the pattern, made it from some fabulous fabric, and now we’re all jealous of her creation!  I know I need to make one of my own.  What about you?

We found the pattern for the Itty Bitty Baby Dress on www.madebyrae.blogspot.com.    It only uses half a yard of fabric, is a free download, and seriously couldn’t be sweeter.  You’ve got to make one–whether for your own little one, or as a gift for someone else.

I don’t know about you, but about this time of year, I am tired of the long, dreary winter!  This apron has cheered me right up!  It is made from a Michael Miller fabric that has borders along each selvage.  We used the border print for both the top and bottom of the apron–so fast, fun and easy!  The pattern is “Emily’s Apron.”  Try one—-it’ll make your wintertime blues fly away!

Fun With Flowers, Hairclips, and Headbands

Saturday, December 19th, 2009

Let’s face it, girls love hair accessories!  Here are a few ideas for some quick and easy ways to dress up clips and headbands:

From the Moda Bakeshop, dress up a clip with a simple cover button:

With Heather Bailey, I say Hooray for Headbands!

Hooray for Headbands

 

Add a fabric flower from one of many online tutorials to an already-made headband, or simply put a clip on the back.  Check out a couple of tutorials here.

And finally, this simple but amazing pattern for covering a cheap plastic 1/4″ headband has got to be one of my new favorites!  I’m talking a 10-minute project here….
