Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! This week, we’re showing you how to make a fun tote bag, with a band of pom-pom trim for a little extra pizzazz. Big enough to act as an overnight bag, this playful tote is an optimistic nod toward spring when it’s sewn up in blossom-colored cottons like the ones from our Pastel me More cotton collection.

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! We hope you all are having a lovely day. Today is Pancake Day in the UK and Mardi Gras Fat Tuesday. Lots of reasons to eat yummy food! ;)

Time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are featuring one of our wonderful projects from our Free Projects Program. Cheryl, of Meadow Mist Designs, created a stunning table runner pattern for us that we absolutely love. Her Best Wishes Table Runner is featured with our Paisley Please collection, the complimentary navy and orange hues working magically together. We love the simplicity and modern feel of this table runner, the perfect accessory to any bare table. Add some pretty white dishware, silver decor, and white tulips…and you have yourself a beautiful, cottage-inspired table setting.

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! Hope everyone is doing well :) We’ve been launching our Winter 2015 Collections this week, and today we launched our Gypsy Lane Collection by Jane Farnham. Click here for lots of pretty designs!

Time for our How To’s Day! Today we are sharing an amazing pillow tutorial from one of our exclusive designers, Nikki Maroon of The Girl Who Quilts. She created her Diamond Cut Pillow for our Free Projects Program, and we love it! It’s pretty simple in design, but creates a fantastic and geometric look that would go well with every type of interior, from shabby chic to more modern. The diamond “cut” allows for you to choose different fabric prints with a similar color scheme, so it looks different and unique. Such a great pillow tutorial to play around with!

We featured our example with our Coraline Collection, a fresh and girly collection of coral and navy. Want to make your own Diamond Cut Pillows? Click MORE for the full tutorial.

Time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we’re bringing to you our super useful tutorial for a turning a seam to a slit, while avoiding any exposed edges. If you’ve ever wanted to create a slit at the back of a pencil skirt or simply wanted to alter a project by creating a slit, this From Seam to Slit tutorial will guide you in doing so, the easy way! The end result will be a clean seam, with the raw edges tucked away perfectly. And at the end of the tutorial, we’ve offered a cumulative jpeg of the steps that you can be printed out.
