installing zipper closure in a pillow cover {tutorial}

It took a little longer than I thought, but I'm happy to say that I finally finished a tutorial showing you how I do zipper closures for my throw pillows. A little disclaimer here : this is just my own way of doing it, I'm definitely not claiming this to be the only, or the best way. Let's start, shall we? All the instructions are for a 16" square pillow, but they could very easily be adjusted for any other size. I used this same method for my larger square as well as rectangular pillows with great success. You will need: one fat quarter of fabric of your choice one 16" or larger zipper (I prefer using an 18" zipper as having a longer zipper makes installing it easier) From your fabric, cut 1 rectangle measuring 9" x 16", and 1 rectangle measuring 12" x 16". Take your 9" x 16" rectangle (top part of the backing), and mark a line 1" from the edge on the long (16") side.

Sheridan Tote ~ FREE PDF pattern

Hello lovelies, happy Friday to you all! What strange times we're living in, aren't we? We've been practicing social isolation in order to help flatten the curve this whole week and are expecting to keep doing it for the next couple of weeks. I'm sure a lot of you are in the same situation so I thought you might appreciate a new tote bag pattern to work on :). And, since it's not business as usual for almost any of us, I decided to make this a FREE pattern , available to all. Pretty fun, right? Sheridan Tote is a beginner friendly tote bag with a fabulously large front pocket and super chic leather handles, plus the optional addition of rivets and heavy duty snap closure. The tote can be made using just one print or you can mix and match two or more prints if you wish. With simple tote like this it's super fun to play around with fabric placement. You can also substitute leather handles with webbing ones, or you can even mak

Tiny Foldover Pouch (free YouTube video)

Hello friends, today I'd like to share a super adorable little pouch I designed for my YouTube channel . I think these Tiny Foldover Pouches are absolutely precious. They finish at approx. 3'' wide x 3 1/4'' tall x 1'' deep and are just the right size to keep one's earbuds or small sewing notions and tools. Or, it could be used as a nice little coin pouch. To make one of these cuties you will need two panels of quilting cotton for the *exterior, two panels for the lining, and two panels of interfacing (I used Pellon SF101). Each panel is 5'' wide and 6'' tall (13cm wide x 15cm tall). Oh, and the 3 1/2'' long ribbon or leather lace and a button. *use non-directional print for the exterior You can find instructions and a full video on how to make these pouches on my YouTube channel , just click here. I hope you'll enjoy making (and using) these sweet little cuties. Wishing you all a happy and creative day. Svetlana
