Change a Double Zipper to Close in the Centre {tutorial}
I thought I would follow up my Cargo Duffle post with the zipper tutorial I promised. Especially since Kim asked for it - she wants to make a cargo duffle as well! This bag, by the way, performed beautifully on it's maiden voyage via 3 differently sized airplanes. It...
Sewing Survey Saturday #4
I hope you are having a wonderful restful Saturday and you all enjoyed your Christmas holiday! Today I am writing from South Texas where we are visiting my parents for a two week vacation. The weather here is a tad cold and rainy, which is odd for this area. But we...

Quick Christmas Gift {with some shameless self promotion…}
I made another Sunny Glasses Case a while ago with the most perfect fabric ever. It's the Geekly Glasses line by Riley Blake Designs (from Double Decker Fabric). When Dorienne sent me this fabric I knew it needed to be a glasses case and I love how it turned out!...
