I was sitting in my studio yesterday thinking about what to do. I've finished up several big projects and now that it's summertime and I've met most of my deadlines I have a choice as to what comes next. Sometimes these open-ended creative moments can feel a bit paralyzing. Have you ever felt like you…
Darcy the Dachshund Pattern
I have a brand new pattern in the shop today: a dachshund puppy! When I was growing up we would always ask my mom to tell us stories about the dachshund she had as a child. His name was Meatball and, according to my mother, in the winter Meatball would sit on the heat grate…
Scrap Bags
From time to time we spend a few days in Connecticut visiting with my in-laws and Charlie's sister and her family. Whenever we go, I bring some sort of project with me. It's always a tedious project I've been avoiding, something I would never get around to doing at home. But there, in the evening…
Baby Bear in Quilting Cotton
I decided to sew the Baby Bear from my Baby Bear and Blankie Set in quilting cotton to see how he would look. Lots of people have asked whether or not this project was suitable for cottons so I was curious to give it a try. Works great! I say go for it.

No-Sew Fleece Octopus Tutorial
I picked up this craft booklet, circa 1966, a few months ago at a church rummage sale and got inspired to update one of its projects. The yarn octopus has long been a classic toy to make for children, and I’ve transformed it into an even easier, and perhaps more cuddly, no-sew fleece octopus! According…
Animal Rattles to Sew
I've had a lot of requests for the pattern for the duck rattle I made a few weeks ago. I have the pattern as part of a kit, but many people already have the fabric and just wanted to pattern itself. Josephine took the duck rattle for a test drive. She really didn't want to…
Keeping Water By the Iron: Recycling a Coffee Creamer Bottle
A lot of times in life it's the little things that make a big difference. I iron a lot and I'm a big fan of steam. My iron (this crappy Rowenta) came with a tall, thin water carafe that doesn't have a top. I was always running out of water for steam (this is partially…
New Pattern! Safari Hand Puppets
I'm really excited to show you my new pattern! Three safari-themed hand puppets to sew: a zebra, a giraffe, and a leopard. These guys have stuffed and fully-lined heads for a really professional feel. I've wanted to design puppets for a while now and I'm really pleased with how this trio came out. Now I'm…
