Little projects, for your little bits of fabric:
1. Charming little houses by retro mama. So sweet! And I love her fabric combinations, the natural linen and bright prints. The full pattern and tutorial are both detailed and excellent and you can find them right here.
2. Fabric wrapped hangers. I’m happiest when I have busy hands. Things like paper mache that occupy my hands and relax my mind. Good thinking projects. I also like hangers that things don’t fall off of.
3. For your tiniest scraps darling little flags with a secret ingredient. Perfect for your paper castles and cupcakes and maybe paper mache boats?
4. Paper piecing is perfect summer sewing, something that travels well, beach sewing. This tutorial is great.
And pattern news:
Update 1/25/2019 – both of the sewing pattern below are complete and in the shop.
The pdf version of the songbird pattern is just about ready to go. To drive myself crazy I’ve also been working on the print version at the same time and that will be right behind it. It has been a giant undertaking.
The paper mache ship pattern is at the printer as we speak. I’m picking it up next Monday. So pleased to have it in print. It won’t be in the shop for a couple weeks because I’ll be traveling and teaching.
When I’m back I’ll turn it into a kit too. I am bringing the ship print patterns (and some ships) to Squam with me. Come say hi at the art fair next Saturday night, it’s such fun, there are twinkle lights and beer.
Hello Ann,

Can’t wait for the song birds. I have several of your patterns. I’m sure this was a really big project and you’re awesome for doing it.
With larger scraps one a make, coasters, pot holders with felt or quilt fillers. I really do not have tiny scraps to save, so I have found usage for the ones I do from quilt making. Which I also use for my ,3,4, & 5″dolls’ costumes
