Make something - Coasters

January2

Happy new year to everyone!

This post is for Staci because she said she only had  Criss-Cross Coasters, so I hope you’ll like one of these. I’ll definitely make some this weekend since I still have some iron-one vinyl laying around. I wonder if I can still quilt them?

Iron-on Vinyl - another vinyl version

Cocktail Coaster - pretty patchwork from Denyse Schmidt

Quilted Coaster - from Last Minute Patchwork and Quilted Gifts

Criss Cross Coaster - and yet another patchwork version

Yo-Yo Coaster  - even Yo-Yos can make coasters

Hannukkah Coaster - a felt version

And because it somehow belongs in the same catergory and I had them bookmarked:

Like I promised Marie from Protect The Cookie last week, this time it’s all about organizers. Hope you’ll like the tutorials.

Make something - Storage Boxes

December21

This part of “Make something” is for Joanna from Joannabags, because she was crazy enough to sew three of the pouches in less than 20 hours after I posted the links. Talk about sewing addiction. So here are the tutorials for sewing storage boxes and baskets especially for you Joanna.

Storage Baskets - organize your magazines and sewing pattern

Fabric Buckets - cute, round buckets for your scraps & everything else

Charging Basket - store your gadgets while they charge

Patchwork Basket - a lovely version with handles

Fabric Baskets - another patchwork version

Trim Box - store your trims, or make them bigger for Cd’s

Storage Cubes - colorful cubes with labels

Jewel Case Cube - no sewing and it doubles as a candle holder

And since Marie from Protect The Cookie!!! made another four of the pouches, she got to chose the topic for next week’s “Make something”.  I hope to get it up around next weekend if I don’t die of Christmas cookies overload :)
