Two Totes from Scraps ~ Sew with me!

Image
This week's video is a true sew-along.  I make two totes using up large scraps. The bags are made to make the best use of the fabric pieces I had. The first bag is the smaller one. It uses about half a yard of fabric. and is lined. The second bag is larger unlined and used about a yard of fabric total or half a yard of two fabrics.  Bonus at the end where I show how to make a false bottom or plastic inserts for stability.  In this week's video, you really get to see how I design and work.  Supplies needed: woven fabric, interfacing, thread   My TeeSpring Shop Sewing With Stacy Facebook Community   Make a matching zipper bag Sewing Machine: Bernina 770QE Overlock/Serger: Bernina L890

Scrunchies from Scraps!

You can never have enough scrunchies! I find that almost every project I make I will have a scrap the right size to make scrunchie to match. This is a great beginner project. Lengthen the fabric strip for a more gathered scrunchie. Reduce the elastic length for a tighter scrunchie. To make the size I did you need: a strip of fabric 22" by 3" 1/4" wide elastic 9" long
