Let’s make a Tortilla Warmer!

January 5, 2021Leave a comment

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve made a sewing video. Today, I wanted to share this really easy tortilla warmer. This is a beginner sewing friendly tutorial. You will need four pieces of 12 x 12 cotton fabric and 2 pieces of 12 x 12 cotton batting to assemble this project.

If you’ve never used a tortilla warmer you might be wondering how this works. You simply add your tortillas (as many as you like) to the inside, pop it in the microwave and warm it for about 30 seconds-1 minute. If you prefer to heat your tortilla on the stove, just add them to the warmer after you’ve heated them and they will stay nice and warm until you’re ready to use them.

If you have a Cricut Maker you can use this Design Space file to cut all of your fabric and batting. If you have a Cricut Explore use the same file, but just cut 1 circle out of cardstock to use as your pattern. No Cricut? No worries, use this FREE PDF pattern to create your circles.

I have a step by step tutorial to walk you through the assembly.

Hooded Towel / Poncho Tutorial

July 12, 2020Leave a comment

Hello there and thanks for being here. I have had this tutorial ready to go for awhile now, but I had to wait for these two stinkers to come to town so that I could take a photo or two… or ten.

Ace and Evie are starting swimming lessons. I thought this would be a perfect solution to help them remember their towel, to stay warm and dry in the car and their mom won’t have to carry everything.

They are so easy to make! The kids thought they were pretty cool in their “Capes”.

I was going to step it up a notch and add pom poms, but I was afraid with regular washing they wouldn’t hold up, but you could totally add decorative ribbon or or use towels with decorative edging.

Would you believe these are super easy and beginner sewing friendy to make? They only take a few items to make and you probably already have everything you need at home.

Watch my step by step tutorial below. If you make them, I would love it if you would join my Facebook Groups and Post a photo and/or tag me on Instagram when you post a pic.

ID / Badge Holder – FREE Pattern and Tutorial – Beginner Friendly

May 31, 20206 Comments

I finally got to see my son and daughter-in-law this past weekend. It had been months and I was certainly happy to see their sweet, smiling faces! Maggie, asked me if I could create an ID tag for her to put her work ID in and attach to her key chain. Of course, I obliged and quickly went to work on a very simple pattern.

She requested a verticle tag since it was going to be hanging from her key chain. I whipped up a super simple tag on my embroidery machine, but I was afraid she’d lose her ID and anything else she put in it. I decided to create a new pattern with a bit more protection.

This is what I came up with and I am thrilled with it. It is still super simple and takes very little product, but it’s ultimately safer and, lets face it, prettier. I love that it can be made either vertically and horizontally, depending on your needs. I also like the lobster clasp attachment which can easily be attached to a lanyard, backpack or keychain.

If you have a Cricut or other digital die cutting machine that can cut fabric with an SVG, this project is going to be super simple for you, because I made an SVG. You can get it by clicking HERE. No Cricut, no worries, you can grab the printable PDF pattern by clicking HERE. Be sure when printing that you print at actual size and not scaled. There is a guide at the top of each page to measure and make sure you printed it correctly. When downloading the ZIP file for your digital die cutting machine, be sure and double click the ZIP file to open it and then upload the file ending in .SVG.

Enough of the small talk, let’s start making ID tags! Be sure and tag me on social media if you make them. Join my Facebook Groups and post photos! I love it see them!

Bowl Koozie with PDF

I am revisiting an older project. The bowl koozie.

The original video I made with this fun pattern was focused around the Cricut. You can see it here.

Cricut added my original design to Cricut Design Space. If you have a Cricut you can easily cut out the shapes. The Design Space File is available by clicking here.

This time I wanted to make the Bowl Koozie easy for those who don’t have a Cricut. I have created a FREE PDF Bowl Koozie Pattern so that anyone can make this fun, beginner friendly sewing gift.

If you are new to my channel, or new to sewing, this project is the perfect for you! Even seasoned sewists, love making koozies. I’ve got a step by step tutorial for you to make it super easy to get started.

The bowl koozies make wonderful gifts, craft fair items and they are just great to have around for everyday household use.

If you’d like to start creating and follow along with me in a video tutorial, click below. I’d love to see your Koozies. Don’t forget to join my Facebook Group and post your photos!

Hello everyone! I was happy to see that Cricut recently added scrub cap patterns to Cricut Design Space.

How to make a face mask

masks

Hello there. Doug asked me to make a couple of face mask to have on hand in the event that we need them. I posted them in my Facebook Groups and immediately had a ton of requests to make a tutorial. I am posting the tutorial of these masks with the disclaimer, I followed THIS PDF tutorial which was recommended by a hospital. I do not know the exact effectiveness of the face mask, but I do know, it provides an added layer of protection.

I have also provide a Cricut Design Space file for those of you who have a Cricut Maker.

You can find the Cricut Design Space ADULT Size File by Clicking HERE. You can find the Cricut Design Space CHILD by Clicking Here.

For those who do not have a die cutting machine, you don’t need one. This is two simple rectangles that can easily be cut by hand.

Please do your research. This is not a protection from the Corona VIrus. This is simply an added barrier between you and the outside world. Visit the CDC website for the best way to protect yourself from the Virus.

How to Make Envelope Pillow Covers

November 17, 2019November 17, 2019Leave a comment

southbendpillow This has got to me the EASIEST sewing project, ever! Not only is it very beginner friendly, but it’s so practical. With this tutorial you can virtually create unlimited amounts of personalized pillows and personalized gifts. My friend, Karen Runge, showed me a similarly designed pillow and encouraged me to make a tutorial. I used the Cricut EasyPress and Iron on to create my design. You could also use this tutorial to create a blank for Infusible Ink, Embroidery, fabric pens and fabric markers. So many possiblities.

Let’s get right to the tutorial. You are going to want to make pillows for all of your friends and family. (Psssst.. these would make perfect holiday gifts!)

Triangle Jelly Pouches

October 2, 2019October 2, 20191 Comment

I had an idea in the middle of the night and could hardly wait until it was time to get up so I could give this a shot. The Triangle Jelly Pouch!

I had so much fun making the fully lined fabric pouches (you can find that tutorial here), that I thought what would be even more fun, than to create a clear version.

I mean, seriously, how cute would these be hanging off a backpack, or even just stuffed with treats. I would totally use that purple one and fill it with Halloween Goodies for the kids.

You could also make these out of faux leather or vinyl for another look. Check out one of my favorite shops on Etsy called Sew Hungry Hippie. She’s got so many fantastic selections of vinyl and faux leather.

Are you ready for the tutorial?

The Ashley Tote Bag

Ashley-Tote-YT

Hi there! Over in my Craft Crazy with Lorrie nuneMAKER Facebook Group I posted a bag similar to this quite awhile ago. It was this bag:

and boy did I have a lot of request to make a tutorial. Life got in the way… my son got married. I have been so busy with wedding planning, guests every weekend, that I just didn’t have time to create a tutorial.

I did, however, take the time one afternoon to make a mock up so that I could get the dimensions down. I came up with this tote:

Today, I finally had a chance to take a little bit from each bag and change it up just a little more and create the “Ashley” tote. I love it so much.

The fabric makes me happy and the quilting just gives me all the feels.

Ashley Tote-6

Green and white polka dot? I mean, c’mon!

Ashley Tote-5

Of course, I have a step by step tutorial for you. You can find it below. I have written down all of the dimensions for you. You can get them in my shop HERE.

Urban Scrunchie Headband

August 10, 2019September 3, 2019Leave a comment

Well hello there my Urban Scrunchie friends! I am still at it. I can’t quit making these really quick and easy headbands using my Urban Scrunchie Mini Template.

If you prefer the Free Printable Pdf & SVG pattern you can get it here. Just in time for Back to School, gym work outs or just when you want to look cute! I will let you in on a secret… I cheated. I took a shortcut and used premade headbands! You can see the ones I used here.

I mean who doesn’t love to put on a bright, happy headband and make a statement. You can mix and match the headband bows by simply untying and putting it on a different headband. I cannot wait to see Evie sporting one, but since my cute model isn’t here, you’ll have to settle for me :). Sorry about that, but I wanted you to see just how fun they are.

I just LOVE them! They make me happy just looking at them.

I used the same Mini Template that I used for the Mini Urban Scrunchies. You can find the Original Urban Scrunchie Post here. I love the fact that you get two projects from the same template. Keep in mind, the Original Template was much larger and longer. I used the MIni here.
