"Oh WOW I love these adorable coasters that resemble quilting and love that they are so easy to make. This is a great way to use up those fabric stashes or even fat quarters. You can make them to match your decor or a friends. The coasters will make super gifts for anyone or make some to give away as hostess gifts or prizes. Great way to teach someone to sew too. It also has a video too. Can not wait to try it."

"This one yard baby tunic is just too cute. There is a free printable pattern for 0 to 3 months size and instructions that seem easy to follow and best of all no zippers or buttons! A light weight fabric in an adorable nursery print would be perfect for this pattern."

"What a unique idea and a great way to use up all those lace trimmings. I might use some soft white cotton or linen as a foundation to sew the all those laces onto for a more summery feel. Nice scrappy fabric project. I like the idea of using the finished project as a shawl too."

"I make these totes all the time. They are so super easy and I have used leather before and as long as you use a leather needle it is not that bad so the applique will not be that bad to do. I like that you can adjust the pattern to what size you like by changing the pieces. I have not done any handles on the outside yet but I like this look and I also love the bow on the one handle and you can even do on on the other too. Such a great tote to carry any where."

"I have made several covers for travel pack tissues to use as stocking stuffers and to include in dorm room personal care packages and they always are much appreciated. Easy beginning sewing project too. Add a little embellishment like decorative buttons, tiny ribbon roses or simple embroidery for extra pizazz."

Hand Quilted Cotton Gauze Baby Blanket

Hand Quilted Cotton Gauze Baby Blanket

"Have you seen all the mommas and babies carrying around these thin gauzy type blankets? They are so very popular right now, and many fabric designers have been offering their fabrics in gauze as well. If you haven't tried sewing with cotton gauze, know that it is a very different texture than quilting cotton. Click through here to find a step by step illustrated guide to sewing a simple baby blanket using cotton gauze. I wasn't convinced from other makers that this blanket would end up exceptionally soft, but they were right. After a quick wash, this baby blanket has a very light drape, perfect crinkles, and just asking for cuddles."

I am so excited that I found this pattern. One of our local stores carries the cotton gauze in the cutest baby patterns. I always look at it, but not a clue what you would do with this. I thought it might be for making diapers. Very well written instructions. This will be a nice project during the evenings when watching tv. I need to run to the store and make sure they still have the fabric
