Vinyl Project Bags and Zipper Pouch - Stitchy Birds - FREE Patterns

Hi Sewing Friends! Today I'm sharing 2 Vinyl Project Bags plus a Zipper Pouch with the fabulous new fabric collection: Stitchy Birds designed by Teresa Kogut. Plus both of these projects are free patterns - yay! (Links to free patterns / tutorials are below - Supplies)

Shop Fabric at Fat Quarter Shop

Stitchy Birds is fun folk-art collection featuring stitching motifs plus birds! Teresa is also a fabulous cross stitch pattern designer so I wanted to make Vinyl Zipper Bags plus a coordinating Zipper Pouch to hold my latest cross stitch projects! My FAVORITE print is the Stitchy Birds Midnight Hoops as I love all the sweet stitching thoughts stitched in the hoops!

The Two Vinyl Project Bags measure 14.5" x 14.5" so they are the perfect for storing all of your stitching or sewing supplies! Plus the vinyl front makes it easy to know what is stored in your bag. I love a coordinating Zipper Pouch (10.75" x 7") to store my smaller notions / floss.

Starlight Double Quilt - Sew Much Fun

 

Hi Quilty Friends! I’m excited share my Starlight Double Quilt featuring the SEW fabulous collection: Sew Much Fun designed by Echo Park Paper Co for Riley Blake Designs.  I love this bright and happy quilt!



Starlight Double Quilt Pattern - PayHip Pattern Shop OR Etsy


I love all fun sewing themed prints in the Sew Much Fun collection - - - vintage sewing machines, vintage thread spools, scissors, plus fabulous florals!

Shop Fabric at Fat Quarter Shop

I made the Starlight Double Quilt because I love the scrappy look plus I was able to use so many of the prints from the Sew Much Fun collection ... I love them all!

Plus I made a few of the inner stars scrappy too! This was perfect for fussy cutting the lighter color prints and choosing a bolder fabric for the inner star points.


The Starlight Double Quilt is a block based pattern so it's easy to make the quilt larger or smaller by making more or less blocks!

Starlight Double Quilt - 64.5" x 64.5"

Half Square Triangle Tips:
For perfectly sized half-square triangles - I recommend trimming your blocks with a Bloc-loc half-square triangle ruler OR using the appropriately sized AccuQuilt Die. Having perfectly sized blocks makes piecing your quilt so much easier!

Scrappy Backing Fun -


As I used a half-yard bundle of Sew Much Fun to make my Starlight Double Quilt - I use the left over fabric to make a fun Scrappy Striped Backing. I LOVE it! The quilt is now reversible!!!!
