    Hey there Amber! I’m so glad that I found your adorable blog! I too am LDS and I have been wanting to learn to sew for quite a while now, but have ALWAYS been intimidated! I guess I need to just jump right in and do it? Thanks for the ideas☺

    I am in love with the dinosaur fabric that is shown in the photos could you please share who makes the fabric and if you purchased it online were?
    Thank you!

    • Amber says

      January 23, 2014 at 1:53 pm

      Hmmm, I bought it more than 2 years ago so I wonder if it is discontinued. I think it is either Riley Blake or Robert Kaufmann fabric? I bought it at a local quilt store.

    Oh man so many great projects… I want to make them all!

      A really great project to make would also be a dig cat pencil case

    Amber- I was wondering if you could recommend some online fabric stores. I live in a rural area, and so resources are pretty limited. I was in a quilting store looking at some flannel and the owner made a remark about how difficult it is to buy fabric online because you never know when it will have faults in it. Can you give me some suggestions?
    Thanks!

    • Amber says

      April 25, 2014 at 2:57 pm

      Try http://www.theribbonretreat.com or http://www.stitchstashdiva.com

    Thank you for simple yet useful projects. I had sewn many years ago, lost most of my eye sight, and recently had eye surgery and am wanting to start sewing again. With sight regained I am so happy to find someone willing to show simple yet useful, practical items to learn while making. Thank you and God Bless!

    I need this to get me started sewing again. I’ve been taking care of my parents with little to no time for creative sewing. This looks to be perfect for inspiration.

    Hello, I work for a local humane society and have a great idea for kids who take sewing classes. How about making bandanas for the dogs to fit on collars so that they are more adoptable? Kids could take a simple square and then using plastic wrap, cut out a shape of a bone and it’s done. I was recently told the dogs in your county need help. thank you.

    • EmilyHayes says

      December 26, 2016 at 9:25 pm

      That’s a great idea PR! I’m not Amber, but that sounds great. I wouldn’t use plastic wrap though, that doesn’t have a place in sewing. I’d use bone-covered fabric for the square and a solid color ( red, yellow, blue) for the big bone decal.
      Regards,
      EmilyHayes

    What a great list! Thanks for providing. I plan to make first: blanket, pencil case, kindle case, scarves, and tote bag.
    One quick note: When I click on Kindle Case, it says that the link is broken. What’s the problem? Can you please replace the link?

  22. Veronica says

    March 13, 2017 at 9:45 am

    I found your site through Pinterest because I was looking for dolls clothes.
    I clicked what I thought was a straight through link,but I am struggling to find the patterns that were in the picture on Pinterest. Please can you let me know if you have any dolls clothes patterns

    • Amber says

      March 13, 2017 at 6:59 pm

      Nope! Sorry, no doll clothes patterns here.

    What a great list of sewing projects. I love spending time with my daughter sewing, so this is a perfect list for us to get some projects started on her new Janome hello kitty machine. So fun!

  24. Martha Edwards says

    December 7, 2017 at 4:51 am

    Great Reviews…!
    I LOVE this listing! It’s very inspiring, thank you for sharing it 🙂 I’m going to start with the analyzing pillow for my daughter. And then maybe I’ll try the travel infinity scarf. I simply began sewing and love it. My push to learn turned into due to the fact we have pet rats, hamsters, and a mouse and the cloth beds in the shop are loopy highly-priced. Convinced I could make a few, I set out to get it done. Happy dance! And glad pets 😉
    I “should ” ask, did you are going the white bunny that’s in more than one the pix? She’s lovable! Is that a probable destiny task for a novice? I haven’t idea approximately trying a stuffed animal. However, your bunny has me so tempted 🙂
    Thanks for sharing your Post.

    I am in need of a new sewing machine. I am 64 and retired. I have sewn most of my life learning first on and old Singer and purchased my first machine in my early 20s, Fantasia, which I still have. What brands do you recommend for an occasional sewer who wants to teach my grandchildren how to sew? The Fantasia machine has problems that are not worth the cost of repairing. Thank you?

    • Amber says

      April 11, 2018 at 9:58 pm

    Me too, i have just turned 44 and haven’t touched a sewing machine since i was 14 at secondary school because of my awful teacher! Anyway i asked my other half four a beginners sewing machine, have managed to turn up my pj pants (as I’m a short lady ha ha) and now I’m feeling confident to start a some easy projects. First things first , the chapstick holder then a belt, then who knows id really love to make a wiggle dress, as i live my 50s fashion… think that’s some time off but i can’t wait 😉 good luck with your sewing projects also xx
