TUTORIAL/TEMPLATES: DIAPER COVER (MADE; DANA)

If an 'exposed' disposable diaper on your little darlin's bum isn't your idea of a fashion statement, these covers are the solution.  All the info needed to create them is given in detail...no frets if you're a beginning stitcher. Will that cute little Janome do the job...absolutely!

TUTORIAL/VIDEO: LOOPY FELT FLOWER (SPLITCOAST STAMPERS; TOSHA LEYENDEKKER)

Only a bit of machine stitching is required when creating this flippy, floppy flower.  You're gonna love it.

VIDEO: PATTERN TISSUE GIFT BAG (PAPER BAG STUDIOS; ROBEN-MARIE SMITH)

What could be better...a gift bag created with stitched sewing pattern tissue...fantastic!  The video is as good as one gets; the bag is beyond that.  Recycling those old patterns adds to the fun.  BTW: If you happen to need sewing patterns, check out thrift stores; they usually have stacks of them.

TUTORIAL: FABRIC CIRCLE FLOWERS (SIMPLY ME: DONNA DOWNEY)

If these aren't the perfect creation to do when sitting in front of the TV, I don't know what is.  Cut (either with scissors or a die cut machine) a stack of the circles, grap a needle and some thread...and away you go.  Do I need to say, leftovers? Big or little, you'll find all sorts of ways to use these blooms.

TUTORIAL: COIN PURSE (ANNEKATE; KATHRIN)

No need to use a sewing machine to create this little handy, dandy, holders-of-all-things purse..  It's the perfect size for holding small stuff..including coins.

RECYCLE: SNAP OPEN POUCH (ANN THE GRAN; CAROL)

Be still my heart!  This creation is right at the top of the Clever As Can Be list...wait til you see the supply used to ensure that this pouch snaps open and closed.

RECYCLE: DIY TUBE TURNER (MICHELE MADE ME; MICHELE PACEY)

Nothing is a bigger time-taker (or bigger hassle) than turning a tube right side out without a turner. If creating fabric tubes isn't on your often-do list, chances are good you don't have a turner.  TaDa!  Here you go...no more hassles.

TUTORIAL: RICE HEATING BAG (RITA'S SEW FUN; RITA FARRO)

Cutie Patooties!  Thanks to the template and excellent tut, you can whip up these in a snap and a blink.

TUTORIAL: YO-YO FLOWERS (ERICA'S CRAFT AND SEWING)

I love yo-yos...in all sizes and shapes.  They're versatile and an excellent use of left-over  fabric pieces.  Thanks to Clover-USA Yo-Yo Makers, they're made in a snap; a circle die (not a punch) speeds up things even more. Here's two ways they can be enjoyed.

Fluffy, stuffy and cute as a button is a good description of this little gal in her darling dress. You'll love the tut...it's great.  Get freezer paper in the grocery store, next to waxed paper.

Scroll down a bit to see how much fun you'll have being a dress designer.  The sky's the limit here, so go for it!

TUTORIAL: SQUARE OVEN MITT (BOLT NEIGHBORHOOD)

Why didn't someone think of this before now?  A square oven mitt is so much better than that dumb mitten shape (unless your hand is HUGE).  Please note a slight change in the supply list...there should be two pieces of   INTERIOR fabric and two pieces of EXTERIOR fabric, rather than four pieces of interior fabric.

How about these...cute, quick, easy AND inexpensive.  Have an idea you'll be using them year after year.

TUTORIAL/FREE DOWNLOAD: FELT OWL BROOCH (BUGS AND FISHES; LAURA HOWARD)

Two way to use this wise cutie...either as a brooch or as an embellishment on a card or layout.  If you go the embellishment route, don't stuff him (her?)...just use the front side.  Course, there's nothing that says you can't use the brooch as a removable embellishment on a card.
