DIY Tutorial – How to Sew a Fabric Bow

DIY Tutorial – How to Sew a Fabric Bow

Today I'm so excited to be sharing one of my favorite holiday sewing projects on the BERNINA We All Sew blog. Quick and fun to sew these bows can be used just about anywhere you like from gifts and garments to home decor and even your hair. I'm planning on putting one on my cat's collar for a festive holiday catfit. And if you want to become an extreme-crazy-cat-lady like moi, you can match your cat's bow to your holiday dress. 

DIY Tutorial – Clear Vinyl Zippered Pouch

DIY Tutorial – Clear Vinyl Zippered Pouch

A few years ago I ended up with a bunch of clear vinyl material and it's just been sitting in my closet ever since. I couldn't bear to throw it out because I knew that one day I'd find a use for it. Then a few weeks ago, I suddenly had the idea that it would make a fun and easy to sew zippered pouch. Reminiscent of the pouches we used to put in our three ring binders to hold all of our pens, pencils and erasers (gotta have the big pink eraser, right?) this is a flat pouch with a zipper running down the front. I love that this pouch can feature a show-stopping zipper and that the clear vinyl makes it really easy to find just what you're looking for.  

DIY Tutorial – Fringe Clutch

DIY Tutorial – Fringe Clutch

A few months ago, I got a bunch of black leather fringe in a bargain bag of trims. I didn't have any plans for it (impulse purchase!) until one day the idea of a clutch covered in layers of fringe popped into my head. So of course I had to make one and share how to do it with all of you!
