Thursday Tutorial

This tutorial for an adorable little pouch by three bears showed up a few years ago. I don't remember how I found it--perhaps through Sew Mama Sew?

Anyway, it is cute stuff and would make a great present for little hands. Perfect for a tiny Xmas gift or two. Not to mention, it can help get rid of some scraps!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thursday Tutorial

A few years ago I used to knit. And before that, I used to crochet. But then I started spending too much time reading BoingBoing and Failblog and now I don't do either. Also, it hurts my wrists.

Anyway, back when I used to do both of those things, I needed for a nice place to keep all my needles and hooks. So I made kimono rolls! So fun! Plus, you can make them out of fat quarters or scraps.

I used this wonderful tutorial and these two rolls were probably the first two things I sewed. Easy, fun, and useful. Plus, they make lovely gifts.

All rolled up!

And spread out.

Looking back at these,

I wish I had bought more of that yellow fabric.
So cute.
