Roll Brim Hats and Beanies

Making hats is my favourite thing to do with my Addi Kingsize knitting machine. At first I had a hard time finding yarn that didn't drop or skip stitches. So far I've got Bernat Premium, and the yarn I used in these projects, Bernat Satin Sparkle (Amethyst). These hats can be made for men or...

Flannel Hidden Zipper Infinity Scarves

This weekend I found a great sale on fabrics at Fabricville. I bought 3 huge bags of stuff 🙂 Some of what I bought was plaid flannel for more infinity scarves with hidden pockets. I made them pretty much the same as the ones I had made before, but because the fabric is much heavier...

Headphone Key Chain

Last week I received 10 zippers in the mail that I had ordered on E Bay. So I went through some of my Pinterest boards looking for ideas to use them on.  The first project I chose was a key chain to keep headphones in. There is a photo tutorial I used. It's very simple,...

Camouflage Baby Booties

I made some Booties last week for a baby shower. I looked everywhere for a free pattern and couldn't find anything that was for simple little booties. Just when I was about to give up looking I found a pattern for minion booties that was a style I liked. I followed the pattern exactly but...

Digitizing Sewing Patterns Using OpenOffice Draw Part One

Part 1: Sizing Patterns to Scale I remember the first time I found a free sewing pattern online. It was for a hooded bolero jacket and it changed the way I now look for patterns. I couldn't believe someone would put a free pattern online for people to print and have. I needed more! After printing...

DIY Plaid Crochet Hat

I made this hat earlier this winter. I love it so much, I wear it all the time and always get compliments. The free pattern is linked to under the picture. Try it out!

DIY Oversized Hoodie

Last week I've been super busy making hoodies. I made three, one for myself and two to sell at craft fairs. The only problem is I've made the pattern myself and I have no idea how to upload it. When I figure it out I'll post it for free. I looked everywhere for a free...

DIY Halter Top

This shirt is called the Twist Front Top. You can find the free pattern and instructions at So Sew Easy. I made mine in a size small but I used a serger so there wan't really any seam allowance. It was a little too big for me so I took it in where I had...

DIY Long Sleeve T-Shirt

Today I made this long sleeve shirt. It is size small but I made it from a super stretchy knit fabric so it can fit medium or probably even large. I found the free pattern at Nap Time Creations. I think I'm going to make a bunch of these. I printed the pattern, taped the...
