“Sunnies” Sunglasses Case
Are you ready for summer! Oh man am I!!! Here’s a fun sunglasses case for you to sew!
There are two things you should know about me 1) I ALWAYS have a pair of sunglasses with me, I can’t drive without them, the sun hurts my eyes. 2) My purse is a MESS. All of the sunglass cases I had before were to heavy so I didn’t carry them around with me. I made this simple case to be lightweight enough to not weigh me down, and the pom pom attachment will make them quick to spot in my purse.

Simple Chevron Quilted Throw
One of the most frequent comments I get is ”I’d like to make a quilt but I don’t know where to start”. With this in mind I designed this simple chevron quilt project. It would be a great place to start if you’ve never made a quilt before. If you are an experienced quilter, it would be a fun way to show off some of your favorite fabrics.
Come Sew with me in Las Vegas!
Riley Blake Fabrics is holding their very first Fabric Fest in Las Vegas this September. Registration opened TODAY. I’m very excited to be going, but even more excited to be teaching a class at the event!
I’m still trying to figure out how I got on the same teaching list as Lori Holt, Eleanor Burns and Nancy Zieman! I’m just trying not to over think it all right now.
