irome social tote

Hope you had a wonderful weekend and Mother’s day!

(that’s my Grandma’s copy of the Reader’s Digest Complete Guide to Sewing, handed down to me, yay!)

I’m over at the Kokka blog today showing off my Social Tote that I made with their new collection: Irome.

I ended up taking way too many pictures of this little guy.  It’s too much fun putting things in it and moving it around my house.  I already have another one cut out and ready to go.  I had such a great time designing this guy for Carolyn, you can read more about it here.  Once you make one I guarantee you’ll want to make one for all of your crafty friends!

Thanks for stopping by!  I appreciate your comments and questions and everything so much.

Pattern: Social Tote
Fabrics: Irome by Kokka and Interweave Chambray in Pepper by Robert Kaufman

snappy manicure wallet – free pattern

A new free pattern, the Snappy Manicure Wallet!  I joined with Robert Kaufman fabrics again to produce a new free pattern for you! These showcase Ann Kelle‘s cute and fun prints! [This n That and Remix] It’s a little wallet specially designed for nail polish and a few manicure essentials. And it’s a snap to make!

I had a blast making a ton of these. One even made it’s way as a birthday party gift already. I think these would be perfect to pass along to your best friend or even your mom for Mother’s Day! They’d make awesome bridesmaids gifts, too. Can’t wait to make a few more!  Wouldn’t it be fun to make the exterior patchwork? so fun!

Enjoy!

Poolside Tote – Bag of the Month

This is my newest design!  I’m so excited to finally show you.  This is for the Bag of the Month Club (if you need to refresh your memory, the whole scoop is over here).

I’m definitely excited to be able to share it here.  And of course to take it to the pool this summer!

If you haven’t signed up for the Bag of the Month Club, you still can!  There’s just one month left but you can get all the patterns right away (except you’ll have to wait for June’s design).

Click here to learn more about the Club and join!

After the club is over the Poolside Tote will be available like a regular PDF pattern on my site (and in print shortly after). I’ll be sure to let you know when. And will fill you in on all the juicy details.

This tote has a couple fun exterior pocket options, a zippered pocket and a slip pocket.  I love being able to have a really big bag just to pile things in on our way out the door. I’ll probably be sewing up a few other versions and posting them in a few weeks, too. Can’t resist!

There you go! Thanks for joining along, your support and friendship means so much to me.

Also, I loved reading all your fun trips planned for the summer!  Lots of babies being born and moving and trips to the beach!  Oh and sewing, too, of course!

The winner of the Arizona Fat Quarter bundle was Taya,
who said: “Well, I’m not sure if it qualifies as “fun” but we’re moving house this summer. What will be fun is having some space to start sewing again!”

Congrats Taya!!  Have fun sewing with these in your new space!
