Hi I’m looking for a pattern for a clothespin holder with a hanger type or and other styles. Thank you
Hi Joanne, I’ve listed some free clothespin bag patterns here.
Hey! I like your site – I’m a naturally frugal person, and I have a sewing business. I’ve recently relocated to Tennessee from Georgia and I’m eager to get something going. I get teased about my frugality, but I want to ad my tip: save those plastic onion bags and sew together to make a miniature facial scrub puff (exfoliant). Or, you’ve heard about all those “sugar scrubs”? Well, I was a lab assistant for my dad, a biologist, and we’ve confirmed that plain table sugar is very healing; so, I have discovered that it makes a great facial scrub. Thanks!
I was hoping to find a pattern for a shower curtain with left over fabric bits…no luck today been looking for hours. Any suggestions??
ok ur ? was on shower curtain from left over scraps. here is a thought take a patturn for a crazy quilt and make it the size you want the curtain and then just find a shower curtain pattern that is normal and make it like it says.
