Bungalow Quilting - The Uptown in Any Town
So just when you thought you needed a little fun in your day, we’re here to provide it. Have you heard of Creative Spark? It’s C&T’s online educational platform. Think Craftsy but better. Why better? Because the instructors are extremely vetted. We have to have an intense knowledge of sewing, fabrics, and how they interplay. It is the most experienced and knowledgeable people out there. Now that we’ve gotten that
He’s coming here! I cannot wait. If you have ever taken a class from this wonderful guy, you will know that it cannot be missed. He makes everyone in the class feel like you’re his very best friend, and he’s genuinely excited to be teaching you…because he is!

Did you know that you can make a banner from any panel? Watch this video and let the ideas start flowing!
Here’s my next 2 minute tutorial. Did you know that you can make a fun little skirt for any child using any fabric? Yes, this could be adapted for an adult, but you would need to use 2 widths of fabric instead of just one. All you would need to do is make it longer, unless you like skirts that are like Daisy Duke shorts lol. And you would also
Hello sewists! This is the first in my series of 2 minute tutorials. I know how exasperating it can be to watch a long video of a concept or technique. I will still be doing a lot of those. I have been doing videos for Creative Spark which is the video educational platform for C&T Publishing. These are creative, in depth videos of techniques and patterns. But, I wanted to

Every time I am in a Goodwill, no matter which city I am in, I always run the the department where there is wall art. What I am really hunting for is cast off needle point or counted cross stitch. Crewel work is an exciting find as well. In doing so I have come across many treasures. I have turned a wall in my TV room into old frames and
I don’t know about you but I love to make things for new moms. I have developed a pattern for a diaper dock that doesn’t require a ton of product. But that I mean that there’s not a ton of different stabilizers and interfacings involved. One thing I have noticed is that when I have those types of patterns in the shop, customers look at them and go “yeah, well,
This is the first time I have done a zoom umbrella class. I have done zoom classes before. Honestly, it’s not my favorite way to conduct a class. Pros: Cons: I think that the cons outweigh the pros but there are some very good points to be made. Either way, I will be offering classes in both forms. So what did we make? Umbrellas! Here is a photo of my
This is a fun little quilt that can be as large or as small as desired. If it’s too large, it may become a bit unwieldy. But, if you’re an experienced sewist, you can do this. If you’re a beginner, just read on and take notes. Try something smaller with the cuddle, and move on as you see fit. I’m going to talk you through this. There’s no real pattern
