I am always looking for easy ways to store items. This drawstring bag is quick to make and can be done in lots of sizes. This project was first made to store the Jenga style blocks from Dollar Tree. But you can make them to store items like Legos, card games, small action figures, craft supplies, sewing notions and more.
If you make one share in the comments what you use your bag for.
Thanks,
Danna

I am always looking for fun and unique items to use in my sewing adventures. Shower curtain rings are inexpensive and easily accessible. So, why not create a Christmas ornament using one.
These ornaments are quick, fun and beginner sewing friendly. You can make a bunch of these for all those on your list. Tie them to the front of a package to add a bonus gift to your present.
Are you like me and the seat belt in your car drives you nuts! I finally found a solution - a seat belt cover. It is a quick and easy sewing project. Great for all sewing levels and very practical.
It fits over the seat belt and is adjustable up and down. Now the seat belt does not bite into my shoulder when I drive.
Do you like to play cards with family and friends? If you are like our family we have lots of card games. Keeping those organized and the decks all together can be tricky. But, with a card deck holder it is easy.
These card deck holders are also great for your kids Magic, Pokemon, or Yu-Gi-Oh card games. Those decks can become rather large so sew up several to keep them safe and organized.
Christmas is coming soon and these make great stocking stuffers.
In May 2024 after over 40 years in the workforce I retired. I am excited about the opportunities that this new freedom of time will bring to my life.
Expansion of my YouTube channel - Sew-Learn-Create has already begun with posting of weekly videos. The stack of unfinished quilt projects was seeing progress until I went through some of the bins in my sewing room. How can one person have so many unfinished projects?
Taking the time to update this blog will also be a priority. So check back often to see what projects I am finishing, starting new or working on the design. I hope you will join me on this journey and share in my passion for all things creative.
If you are like me and have allergies all year long you always want those tissues handy. I carry them in my purse, my bag I take to school, my lunch bag, the car etc. To help be able to find them quickly I created tissue covers for the small packages I carry.
The cover also has a pocket on the back which is great to hold your nail file, clippers or even your ID and credit card. These are quick to stitch up and only take a few pieces of scrap fabric.
Tissue covers also make a great gift for teachers, co-workers, family and friends. Watch the video below to learn how to make them.

A few weeks ago we had a major issue happen in our home. The video below will give you a peek into what we are dealing with and where we are headed. Things are beginning to get sorted out and moving forward on the sewing room remodel. Life can be very, very messy sometimes. We are ready for the cleanup to be completed and get back to normal.
