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

scissors cozy {tutorial}

A pouch made specially for my large fabric scissors has been on my mind ever since I came across this fantastic scissor cozy years ago. I looked and looked for a pattern or tutorial for this kind of scissor cozy with no success, so this weekend I finally decided to draw up my own template and give it a try. You know what? It worked ! The scissors cozy turned out just the way I imagined and I finally have a pouch that fits my large scissors perfectly. I actually managed to stuff two of my fabric scissors inside the pouch :). I posted a picture of my finished scissors cozy on Instagram and lots of people loved it, so I wrote up this tutorial in case you'd like to make a scissors cozy of your own. Enjoy!. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ Finished size: 10 ” wide x 5” tall Notes: - use 1/4" seam allowance unless otherwise noted - light to mid- weight quilting fabric is recommended for both exterior and lining - m ake sure your printer is set to “actual size” wh

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.
