Denim owl bag for me! I know I probably have other bags I could use but when I decided I need a simple tote bag to carry my lunch to work in (doesn’t fit in my handbag), I decided I had to make one. My design requirements: quick – I think this took an hour?!? […]

Sew Box Unboxing Video Each month I receive the Sew Box full of fabric, patterns, and notions. It is a little like a Christmas or birthday present for me each month.

Ric Rac Teeny Teapot This gorgeous little Ric Rac Teeny Teapot pattern came in the February Sew Box Subscription box and I absolutely loved putting it together.
