I have been crocheting tons of pouches lately and I love lining them with a coordinating fabric and finishing them with a zipper. I'm not an expert at sewing by any means, but this method works for me. I use it every time and I am always happy with the results. I hope you enjoy this tutorial! In the pictures shown in this tutorial, I am lining the Lee Change Purse. But, this method will work for any pouch...just adjust the fabric and zipper sizes. Materials needed- for the fabric lining & zipper (if desired): • 5" zipper • Fabric- 2 pieces that are roughly 5" high by 6"wide •Needle & thread •Sewing machine (optional) •a few ball head straight pins Finished size: • Lee Change Purse- 4" high by 5" wide Making the Lining: 1. Cut out 2 pieces of fabric that are about 1/2-inch larger around than your pouch. 2. Lay one piece of the fabric, right side up, on your worktop. Place the zipper, right side up, on top of the fabric, centered. 3. Sew along the top edge of the zipper. Use a zipper foot if you can, it's so much easier than using a regular foot like I did. 4. Flip the fabric over and fold the zipper back, so that it is laying flat on the wrong side of the fabric. 5. Now sew along this side. You can sew along the same line you just made. The right side of the fabric will look like this now. 6. Lay your other piece of fabric right side up. Then, place the zippered piece on it so that the right side of the zipper is facing up and is lined up along the top edge of the right side-facing fabric piece. 7. Sew along the top edge of the zipper. 8. Again, flip open the fabric and sew along the zipper again. After you sew, the inside of the fabric will look like this. 9. Fold the fabric closed so that the zipper lays flat and secure it closed we a few pins along the zipper line. 10. Lay your pouch on top of the fabric. Line the top of the pouch up with the zipper. 11. Trace a line around the pouch using a pen or pencil. 12. Pin the fabric together. 13. Sew just inside (maybe about 1/8" inside) the line you just traced on the fabric. It does not have to be perfect so don't stress out about it. 14. Trim away the extra fabric. 15. Remove your pins and see how the lining fits inside of your pouch. If it seems too bulky/big, sew another line inside the one you sewed before and then trim away extra fabric again. If it fits just right, then proceed on to attach it to your pouch. 16. Use a few pins to hold the lining to the pouch while you sew it in. Use a needle and thread for this part. You are going to hide your stitches in between the crochet and the fabric (where the wrong sides touch). Work right along the zipper line. In the inside of the pouch, you will see the inside of your stitches along the zipper line. On the outside of the pouch you will not see any stitches. Go from the inside zipper line, out to under the row of slip stitches on the pouch. When coming back the other way, go under the row of slip stitches, making sure the thread will be hidden when you pull tight, to the zipper line. Continue this around. Make sure you pull each stitch tightly so that the lining is completely secured to the outer pouch. When you have gone all the way around, secure the thread with a few small knots that are hidden under the crochet portion. Cut the thread. Remove the pins. And enjoy!

Welcome back, friends! This month we're working on 31 handmade gifts for everyone on your list. You can find links to the full series here. Did you think I forgot today? :) I didn't... I'm just riiiiight on the verge of falling behind. Oops. But I'm here, and today we're kicking off a week that's all about the ladies! Starting with one of my very favorite tote bags! I don't know about you guys, but I have a lot of bags. A lot. They just speak to me. But one of my very favorite bags is a small, striped tote. I drooled over it at a thrift store and my sister snatched it up for Christmas. And it's the perfect size. So I used it as the inspiration for this new tote pattern! I changed a few things like the way the straps are attached just to make it a little spiffier. But that beautiful perfect size is the same. The finished size is about 11" wide x 9" tall x 4" deep. Here are some new pics for scale (thanks for the suggestion!). I'm about 5'2" and a little bit pregnant. :) We've been using this as our library bag. It's small enough to use a purse, but big enough to stuff in a couple diapers and wipes while I run errands. It has pockets inside and outside, and deep gussets for lots of usable space. Here's what you need to make one: 1/2 yard duck cloth or canvas for the exterior 1/2 yard quilting cotton for the interior (or you can use another duck cloth and skip the interfacing) 3/8 yard duck cloth or canvas for the straps. 1 yard medium weight fusible interfacing thread Start by pre-washing and drying your fabrics. Then cut out the following pieces: From exterior fabric: 2 body pieces - 16 x 14" 2 pockets - 6.5 x 6" From interior fabric: 2 body pieces - 16 x 14" 2 pockets - 6.5 x 6" From strap fabric 2 straps - 4 x 45" From interfacing: 2 body pieces - 16 x 14" Once your pieces are cut out, go ahead and make the straps. Fold each strap in half lengthwise and press. Open them up and press the long edges in 1/2" toward the center crease. Fold along the crease again and pin. Then sew right along each long side of the straps. Now prep the exterior pockets. Do a simple rolled hem on both 6" sides of each pocket. Just fold the edge under 1/4" and press, then fold under 1/4" again and press. Stitch right along the folded edges. Apply the interfacing to the wrong side of the exterior body pieces. In the pictures it is applied to the lining pieces of this bag, but I've found I prefer the feel of the bag when it is applied to the exterior. Now pin the pockets to the exterior body pieces. Lay the body piece so the 16" edges are the top and bottom. Then lay the pocket on so the hemmed edges are the top and bottom. Line the pocket up so it is centered across the bag with 4.75" on either side, and set it down about 3.75" from the top edge of the bag. Pin it in place. Repeat for the other exterior pocket. So it should look something like this: Stitch right along the sides and bottom edge of the pockets to attach them. Now line up the straps. On one exterior body piece, a strap so it is set in 4" from from the left edge, and the end of the strap is flush with the bottom edge of the bag. Pin it in place. Then mark the strap 1/5" down from the top edge of the bag. I just used a pin to mark the spot. Line up the other end of the strap with the bottom of the bag and set it in 4" from the right side (make sure the strap isn't twisted at the top!). Pin it in place, and mark 1.5" from the top edge again. Repeat with the other strap and exterior body piece. Starting at the bottom of one strap, sew right along the stitching line on the strap up until the 1.5" line you marked with a pin. When you get to the pin put the needle down, lift the foot, and turn the corner. Put the food back down and stitch straight across the strap until you reach the other stitching line. Turn the corner again and sew back down that stitching line to the bottom of the bag. Repeat for the other straps. Once all the straps are sewn down, line up the two exterior body pieces with right sides together and pin just along the top and bottom edges. Sew along the bottom edge with a 1/2" seam allowance. Now we're going to make what I like to call a "fancy gusset" on the bottom. On both ends of the bag, tuck the bottom seam up between the body pieces 2" and pin it in place. Make sure the top of the bag stays even. Maybe this next pic is a better angle of that. Once both ends are pinned, sew along both sides of the bag with a 1/2" seam allowance. Flip the bag right side out. The gussets should look like this: Oooo, fancy! Now make the interior pockets. Fold the top edge o the pocket down 1/4" and press, then 1/4" again and press. Stitch right along the folded edge. Then fold the other three edges under 1/4" and press. Lay the pocket wherever you want on the lining (I did the same as my exterior pockets. You can do more pockets or different sizes to meet your needs). Pin them in place, then stitch right along the side & bottom edges. Then I like to do a second line of stitching about 1/4" in from the edges. Now line up the body pieces with right sides together and pin them. Stitch along the side and bottom edges with a 1/2" seam allowance, leaving a 4" opening at the bottom for turning. To make the interior gussets, flatten each bottom corner out to a point with a seam on top and bottom and pin them (you know they are lined up if the pin goes right through the seam of the both the top and bottom seams). Measure in 2" from the corner and make a mark. Then draw a line across the corner at that mark (the line should be 4" long). Sew right along the line. Then clip off the corner leaving about 1/2" of seam allowance. Keep the lining inside out, and slip the bag exterior (right side out) inside the lining (right sides will be together). Line up the seams and pin around the top edge. Sew around the top edge with a 1/2" seam allowance (make sure you don't hit the straps). Flip the bag right side out through the hole in the lining. Tuck the fabric in at the opening and pin the opening closed. Stitch right along the edge at the opening to close it up. Tuck the lining down into the bag. Pin around the top edge. Sew along the top edge with a 1/4" seam allowance. And you're done! You can give the bag as-is, or fill it with gifts! Try craft supplies, books, baking utensils, or gardening tools & seeds. And if you need to make one for yourself, I totally understand. You've been working hard on all these Christmas presents! Go ahead and give yourself a pretty way to carry them. :) Here is my bag packed with my wallet, keys, phone, wipes, a diaper, sippy cup, and a little jacket. With plenty of room to spare! And the outside pockets are perfect for my phone and for keeping my grocery list & pen handy. Here's what it cost me to make this bag: $2.75 - 1/2 yard of polka dot duck cloth from the remnant bin $1.90- 1/2 yard of lining fabric from the remnant bin $2.05 - 3/8 yard yellow strap fabric from remnant bin $2.00 - 1 yard interfacing $0.00 - thread (already had it from other projects) Total: $8.70 And really guys, if your Joann Fabric has a remnant bin you should check it out! Ours always has the remnants 1/2 off, and when I bought these they were an additional 20% off of that! And I even have enough left over for a smaller project (polka dot checkbook cover? I think so). This might be my favorite project so far. But, you know, I do have a bag problem. ;) What's your favorite kind of bag? I really restrained myself from doing a whole week of bags. ;) So tomorrow we'll be mixing it up with something that isn't sewing at all...

Well hello there! I know I've been sharing a lot of single blocks lately and I'm so happy to be able to share a finished quilt today. And there's a bonus - I've got a free PDF pattern to go along with it! This is Simple Bricks - a fat quarter friendly pattern that sews up quickly since there's no tricky piecing or seams that need to match up! The finished quilt measures 63" x 72" and needs just 11 fat quarters and just over a yard of background fabric. The fabric I used for this quilt is from a line called Wonder Full. It's designed by Elizabeth Clark (Lizzie Clark Designs) for Sweet Bee Designs. There's been a lot of fun projects being created lately with this pretty fabric! I fell in love with those rich berry colors combined with the navy. And then you throw that mustard color in there and I just couldn't resist! I paired the prints with a super soft chambray which made the perfect background. I didn't want the background to be too stark- like a white would be. The chambray blended beautifully and adds some lovely texture to the quilt as well. You can grab the free Simple Bricks quilt pattern here. Pretty please use this for your personal use only! If you're a shop please just send customers here to download their own copy of the pattern. Thank you! If you make a Simple Bricks quilt I'd love to see it. Tag me on Instagram and use the hashtags #simplebricksquilt and #abrightcornerpatterns so we can all see what you've created! Want to see more projects using Wonder Full?

17 DIY Decor With Rope Ideas - I Do Myself
Today I'm going to show and tell you a bit about the quilt show I went to yesterday. These were my fav quilts there. Monochromatic by Barbara Lange. I also liked section where the quilts were called Shapes but I didn't pay much attention to the labels. Some were by Uta Lenk but not sure if all of them. *Update: all the shapes quilt were by Uta Lenk. My eye also caught quilts in Challenge Mother Nature. Especially quilts by Czech author Jaroslava Grycová. These tiny pieces were absolutely amazing in detail. There was also quilt by Joanna from Shape Month maybe you read her post about this quilt. I was happy to see some Vasarely art as well. I actually found this as free pattern some time ago and if I had a bucket list this would be on it. No, yellow will not make it into my quilt :-) Challenge Application had some fun pieces in it as well. This one was called Anatomy of the Old Age. There were few section that didn't really speak to me so no pics of those. Carnival of Fabrics was good in improv piecing but all those colors randomly put together scared me away. I also got the true sense of minis due to Traditional and Miniature section. Leslie Harwood is probably the queen of tiniest pieces ever. She had quite a few there. It was my second time going to this quilt show. As I said yesterday to me it is more social thing. I get much more inspiration on the web and from bloggers I follow. I don't have an intention to send a quilt there. One of the reasons is that the section for Czech quilts has the worst lighting. See for yourself. Would you like to have a shadow to half of your quilt or be in the shadow on the side? Not to mention one quilt hanging on blue plastic cover sheet which was all over the other side. I have much more pics. I'll share some next time if you interested or maybe just a few more. Linking up with
