Dresden Pillow
Action Figure Holder
It’s that time of week again and this tutorial couldn’t come at a better time! I’m in Star Wars prep mode as the new movie comes out in a few months so this fun Action figure Holder was a must! I needed a way to organize my kids action figures (Okay you caught me, they’re mine…) and this was the perfect project to do it!
These can be used to hold jewelry, crafty supplies, tech gadgets, anything and everything that would fit and you need to take on the go!

Fabric Post Cards
The technology we have today is incredible! We can push a button on a machine in our kitchen and our food is cooked, we didn’t even have to gather wood or tend a fire! We can lay in bed in our pajamas, teeth not even brushed yet and order fabric to be sent right to your doorstep! We can send messages to people across the world without even picking up a writing utensil! The conveniences we have are phenomenal!
**SOAP BOX OPINION** Yes, technology has made the world a more simple place (Except when I can’t get my wifi to work! Game over when that happens!) but I remember the days of hand written letters and anxiously waiting for the mailman to arrive! Although I love waiting for the mailman these days when a box of fabric is headed my way, I miss the times of sentimental hand written letters and cards! Bills don’t quite qualify…
This week’s tutorial is a fun and easy way to bring back snail mail! Fabric postcards!!! That’s right, post cards made entirely of fabric! These are so fun to make AND receive!

Framed Fiber Art
Have you ever bought fabric that ends up sitting on a shelf because it’s just too perfect to use? Or maybe you bought it for a project, then switched gears and went with a different color scheme instead, leaving that fabric to collect dust and go out of print. This week’s tutorial is perfect for those precious pieces that we love but don’t have plans for! Follow along as Rob shows us how to embellish and machine quilt a piece of fabric to become Framed Fiber Art!! Enjoy!

Customized Backpacks
It’s that time of year again, the kids are getting their haircuts, picking out new outfits and preparing to take on the new school year! This year I wanted my kids to go back to school with backpacks that would be easily distinguishable from other students’ bags but I wanted them to be safe! (Bags that are personalized without having personal information!)
So I’ve teamed up with ROSS Dress for Less to help parents get their kids back to school with bags that are easy on the wallet and fun for the kids! Enjoy this week’s tutorial!

Ballistic Beach Bag
Let’s be honest here, a person can never have too many bags! My wife has so many that she has a bag to hold all her bags! It’s a little ridiculous but it’s okay because I love her. It’s also okay because I’m an enabler of the bag craze! Today’s tutorial is a great example of that!!
We live in California and go to the beach a lot! So this bag was a necessity for my families’ bag collection! We use this one for grocery shopping, days at the park and just about any time we have to carry things! (Except for sneaking snacks into the theatre… it doesn’t work too well for that!)
