DIY Fabric Jelly Roll
You can buy a standard jelly roll that “consists of 40 strips of various “dark & light” prints cut along the width-of-fabric” or you can make your own jelly roll from various fabrics you have on hand that look good together. These would make a great gift for your favorite quilter – or a nice add on to a sewers basket for a silent auction!
Book Turned Handbag
Turn an old, unwanted book into a useful unique purse!
- A hardcover book (preferably with a pretty cover). The one I used was this boring lavender color, so I went ahead and decoupaged it.
- A piece of thick cardboard cut to fit the spine of the book.
- Half a yard of fabric for lining.
- Purse handles and some type of snap closure.
- Scissors.
- An X-ACTO knife.
- Sewing pins.
- Fabric pen/chalk/some other type of fabric-friendly marking utensil.
- Extra-strength glue.
Sew A Wiener Dog Softie
We prefer prints over solids on these long boys – and there are so many patterns on pinterest. This first version (not in English) is my favorite, and the pattern looks easy enough to follow!
