Black Cat Capers Bag - Sewers Club


Hi Sewing Friends! Today I'm going to be chatting about the October Sewers Club Box I was so excited to sew a fun Halloween themed project! Plus the Black Cat Capers Fabric is so fun!

All of the supplies you need to make the Black Cat Capers Bag or Placemats are included in the Sewers Club Box - including an awesome instructional video! I highly recommend watching the video before starting your project as it is full of helpful tips! I like to watch the video and sew along - it's easy to pause and rewind/rewatch a step if needed! [Note - the Tote Bag is the alternate pattern so this month's instructional video is for the placements.]




Let's take a look at the Sewers Club - October Box
Box Contents:
  • (3) Cuts of Black Cat Capers Fabric including Panel
  • Fusible Fleece
  • Gutermann Polyester Thread (color may vary)
  • Black Cat Capers Panel Placements with video
  • Step by Step Video Tutorial
  • BONUS: Black Cat Capers Bag Pattern

I really enjoyed making the Black Cat Capers Bag! It is perfect for shopping trips and trick or treating!


I modified the interior pocket to be larger and used the extra interior fabric and bit of the panel...love it!


Did you make the Black Cat Caper Placemats or Bag? I just love learning a new sewing technique each month plus I have a new project to enjoy!!!

When I saw the cute Kitty Corn Multi Quilt Panel | SKU# 31170-11 -  I knew I wanted that included in my quilt backing. When I make pieced backing - I started adding left over binding and border fabric to the sides of the panel until I reached the desired backing width. Then I did the same to lengthen the quilt backing with the leftover Jolly Bar rectangles and background fabric. I just love a reversible quilt!


I absolutely loved my Mini Charm Chiffon Quilt...it is such a fun pattern!!!

All the Trimmings Mystery Quilt & Stitch Along
Hello Stitching Friends! I'm sharing the sweet little ornaments I made from the All the Trimmings Stitch Pattern with Fat Quarter Shop (free pattern here). The original pattern is a larger stitch at  92w x 120h, but I chose to stitch just 1 motif per week and made tiny ornaments - love it!!!

I really enjoyed stitching on the 25 count Basalt Splash Lugana...it's such a fabulous fabric. I think the tiny splashes look like snow! It's definitely my new "go to" Christmas fabric!!!

Do you have a favorite ornament? Mine keeps changing ;)

GO! No Sew Floral Magnets

Accuquilt Dynamic Promo

A Bit of Scrap Stuff Blog #ABitofScrapStuff #AccuQuilt #AQGOGetter #Craft #Craftingwithkids

Hi Crafty Friends! Today I'm sharing a fun crafting project that doesn't use your sewing machine...what?!?!  

We will be creating the GO! No Sew Floral Magnets - free pattern HERE

A Bit of Scrap Stuff Blog #ABitofScrapStuff #AccuQuilt #AQGOGetter #Craft #Craftingwithkids

The GO! No Sew Floral Magnets are the perfect crafting project to make with your young crafter. My daughter loved creating with me and was able to do the project 100% herself. Yes - she is 7 and she already knows that she just needs to choose her favorite GO! Die and cutting mat and start cutting! I love how safe the AccuQuilt GO! Cutters are ... NO bandaids needed for young fingers (or yourself ;) ).  Can you guess which flowers she designed ? Hint...she loves glitter. 

Cut Time, Quilt More


GO! No Sew Floral Magnets 4" x 4" - 4" x 8"

The free pattern is full color and will show a picture of which dies I used plus cutting instructions to create each flower.

Tips for your GO! No Sew Floral Magnets
  • The Aleene's Felt & Foam glue works best if you let your floral foam designs dry overnight. The glue dries clear and the foam is securely glued. 
  • After letting your floral foam designs dry overnight THEN add the magnets to the back
