Sew 4 HomeQuality Tutorials!

I have recently found a website that I simply adore - Sew 4 Home! Their tagline says it all! Want It? Make It!

I really appreciate the detailed tutorials they have put together.

Yes, nice quality fabric is sometimes pretty pricey, but by making something yourself you are rewarded two-fold: Money Savings and Pride in Making It Yourself!

Take a look at this Ironing Board Cover

I plan to make one of these for my new sewing room - which is desperately behind in schedule! I will be linking up here again when I ever get around to it.

Of course I love this quaint little project - being the Cat Lady - Nature Brights Kitchen: Cool & Cozy Pet Bed!


I think this would make a great gift for a young child made out of some of the wonderful, fun fabrics that are out today: Cozy Kid's Roll-Up Nap Blanket.


Not only do they have awesome sewing projects, but I found this great hardware installation tutorial; which is the perfect solution that I have been trying to figure out how to do. I have a very large bath/laundry room and would like to hang a curtain for more privacy in the "thinking area". This would be great in many types of rooms where you need to have some type of division.

I recommend that you budget some time - several different days - and ENJOY all the wonderful post that Sew 4 Home has graced us with! I'm a huge fan of theirs now!

Tag Wallet Tutorial~by At Second Street

I ran across this amazing tutorial for making a Tag Wallet.

This is a great inspiration to me as I have been given Fabric Sample books from My Guy's sister who installs drapery. The tags used to create At Second Street's project is such a clever way to recycle even the smallest of things that most people would never give a second thought.

Head over to At Second Street to see this great Photo Tutorial using tags and hand made paper for her quaint little project!


I can use the smaller pieces of fabric samples to create a similar collage look. I love this project! I will be using finished seams and something beside paper for the reinforcement, but will link back to this tutorial when I have some product made up. Given my back injury and the sewing room make over on hold, I hope I can have some of these done by December. Christmas will be here before we know it!
