Sample Sale - Linen Messenger Bag (Sold)
I made four of these bags while making the pattern, so at least two of them will be available as samples. This is the first one I made, and it is pretty much the same as the final version, except the back of the flap on this one has the lining fabric. The exterior fabric is a medium weight...

Hi Kim,
Glad you like it! I don't know the name of that fabric. It's Alexander Henry Home Dec. It's been in my stash for a few years, so it may be out of print.

Hi Miranda,
I'm not going to be able to blog about the press today, but here are a few details:
You can find them on etsy in the supplies category. They are $100+ for press, so they are a bit of an investment and probably only make sense if you plan to sell the buttons.

Buttons!
Liberty of London Fairford Buttons I got a button press! Yeah, I'm excited about it. So far I've made the buttons above and these sets: The Liberty of London ones are listed in my etsy shop, but I haven't listed the others yet.
Thank you, Sandra.
I totally hear you about wrestling with a big quilt! It sort of ruins the fun when things get frustrating.

More Scrappy Blue QAYG Blocks
On Friday evening I went to an open sew and finished quilting 7 more QAYG blocks. Here are 4 hanging on my photo backdrop. If I lean it away from the wall slightly the blocks stick nicely and it can double as a small design wall. More than 2 months have gone by since I've done ANY work on th...

It is time to say farewell to the Basic Wallet pattern. This little two pocket pouch has been around for 3-years, and it's ready to retire. This weekend will be the last chance to order this pattern. Pattern has been retired. We'll make the ending extra special by sending it off with some ...

$5 Friday - Sew a Pleated Wristlet in 3 Sizes
Happy Friday! It's been a while since I've sewn one of these bags, so it was fun to get back to this pattern. Showing a picture of the largest size being held has also been on my to do list for some time now. Accurately showing the sizes is one of the hardest parts of taking the pictures...
Thanks! The button press is fun. Today I made some buttons to match the project I'm working on, and it was great to have the option to choose a fabric for the buttons.
