April Quilt in a Day is TOMORROW! (Friday Foto Fun #173)

It’s that time of month again! Tomorrow I’ll be streaming the fourth 2021 Quilt in a Day with Simply Jagged!  This quilt is jelly roll AND fat quarter friendly.  I plan on using fat quarters for this quilt rather than a jelly roll.  Don’t worry about precutting or prepping anything as I’ll be doing all of that in real time on stream!  Be sure to...

Fun Bobby Backpack (Friday Foto Fun #172)

Last Saturday, I streamed making the Fun Bobby Backpack by Sincerely Jen Patterns!  I didn’t finish it because I didn’t have the properly sized rivets to go through the straps to secure them which halted my progress.  Fortunately, I had rivets arriving this week for me to finish the rest of the bag off stream.

How well do you know your machine? (Friday Foto Fun #171)

I love my Juki Straight Stitch machine.  I purchased it over 3 years ago at QuiltCon 2018 in Pasadena.  I figured I know my machine pretty well.  I’ve made a lot of quilts and started to make bags with my machine.  This photo was taken at MSA 2018 after I completed my train case.

March Quilt in a Day is TOMORROW! (Friday Foto Fun #169)

Tomorrow I’ll be streaming the third 2021 Quilt in a Day with Simply Sparkles!  This quilt is layer cake AND fat quarter friendly.  I plan on using fat quarters for this quilt rather than a layer cake.  Don’t worry about precutting or prepping anything as I’ll be doing all of that in real-time on stream!  Be sure to have a bit over a yard of...

Decovil Light, To use or not to use? (Friday Foto Fun #168)

After I completed the Rudeneja Handbag this past weekend, I wanted to know exactly what would have happened if I used the Decovil Light interfacing on the exterior as the pattern suggested.  Read about my Rudeneja experience here.  I was a little disappointed with how slouchy the bag turned out to be, but that was my own fault for skipping the Decovil Light. I decided...

Harlequin Pouch (Friday Foto Fun #167)

I belong to a ton of Facebook groups and I started seeing this super cute little pouch on a few of the custom fabric groups.  I knew I had to get the pattern and to my surprise, it’s free via the Crafted by Leanne group.

Paper vs PDF (Friday Foto Fun #166)

I just got my paper patterns in for my newest pattern, Color Pop!  They will be listed in my Etsy shop later this weekend!  As I was folding these patterns, I was reflecting on my personal preferences between paper or PDF. I offer paper patterns because I sell via distributors and I personally favor having paper patterns. But I’m starting to realize the convenience of...

February Quilt in a Day TOMORROW! (Friday Foto Fun #165)

Tomorrow I’ll be streaming the second 2021 Quilt in a Day with Simply Plaid!  This quilt is layer cake AND fat quarter friendly.  I plan on using fat quarters for this quilt rather than a layer cake.  Don’t worry about precutting or prepping anything as I’ll be doing all of that in real-time on stream!  Be sure to have about a yard and a quarter...

Delphinium Hobo Bag! (Friday Foto Fun #164)

Happy Friday everyone!  I am so excited to share my finished Dephinium Hobo bag that I made this past Saturday on my Twitch channel!  The bag took me about 5 hours to cut and sew all the different pieces, but I realized at the start of the stream that I didn’t have the 1.5″ swivel hooks I needed for the strap so I made those later...
