Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! We’ve got another terrific tutorial for you all today. We bring to you our Reversible Tote tutorial, an adorable tote that is both fashionable and practical. It is the perfect tote for carrying all of your little tot’s essentials or to bring to the farmer’s market for some fresh produce and flowers! It’s functional, multi-purposed, and super cute. Let’s get sewing!!

For our reversable tote, we used 2140903 #1, Orange Bicycles, for color 1 and 2140905 #1, Yellow Hoops, for color 2. Both of these prints come from Providence by Camelot Design Studio.

Hi everyone!

Today is another How To’s day…time for another crafty project for you all! We are sharing with you a tutorial on how to make your very own Smoking Slippers.

Our Smoking Slippers for Men & Women were made with the Design Studio Collection. The ladies’ slippers are made from 2140504 #1, Blue & Gray Fretwork, and the men’s slippers are made from 2140507 #3, Gray Mandorla.

As far as flat shoes goes, ballet slippers have been “in” for the longest time and still will be for years to come. But, there is a new contender in the mix that we have seen pop up lately…and those are the adorable smoking slippers. Originally from the Victorian Era, smoking slippers were used by men when they entered the, well, smoking room. Fast forward to the 21st century, they are now the latest footwear for both men and women…and with the newfound purpose of simply fashion wear.

Smoking slippers are a mix between a ballet flat and a loafer, and are often embellished with tassels, monograms, and in fun prints. And on top of being fashion forward and trendy, they are also super comfortable.

Today we are showing you how to make your very own pair of smoking slippers, so now you can be on-trend at home too! Let’s get sewing!
