Sew a Drawstring Bag for Game Pieces (or whatever)

Last week I posted a tutorial for how to make a small circular drawstring pouch for hair accessories or jewelry when you travel, or your quilting pins, or anything like that. This week I’m back with another drawstring bag tutorial, but this one was designed specifically to board hold game pieces: tokens, tiles, dice, or other components! It has a square bottom and is interfaced, helping it to stand upright on the table when you pass it between players.

Of course, you can use this little pouch for lots of other things! It would even make a great little gift bag that’s like a gift in a gift! The recipient can keep the bag to use for whatever they like.

How to Sew a Little Drawstring Travel Pouch

I have such a fun little tutorial for you today! My girls’ dance recital is coming up and Natalie and her friends like to give “cast gifts” to each other. We came up with the idea to make small drawstring pouches to hold their hair pins and other hair accessories. (If you have a dancer in the house, you know how important these things are and how hard they are to corral!)

This small pouch makes a great travel bag for jewelry and hair accessories, or you can use it around the house or in your craft room. It’s a perfect container for your Wonder Clips or quilting pins! They also make great small handmade gifts for little ones or teens. I know my girls loved carrying little things in cute little purses when they were little, and they still love receiving bags of any kind now that they’re teens.

How to Sew Easy Pot Holders with Hand Pockets

I’m reviving a tutorial from my old blog for these handy, easy to sew DIY pot holder mitts. I sewed a bunch of these up for Christmas that year, so I tried to create a design that was easy to mass produce — no fussy bindings or anything like that! I think it would be fun to whip up another batch this many years later, to gift to my current local friends, which is why I went looking for my old tutorial!

I love this style of pot holder in particular because it has pockets for your hands, so you’re not in as much danger of burning yourself as you are when using a basic square pot holder. Also, when cooking with kids, these mitts are great because they can grasp pans more easily that when wearing huge, clunky oven mitts!

They're Here! Phoebe Cow & Pig Doll Patterns

Whew! When I first started this project, I knew I wanted to create a trio of rag doll patterns and I was super determined to get them all done before we started our homeschool year. Some of the best business advice I’ve ever heard is to “finish things”, so I’m proud to say that I am done and Cow & Pig are listed in my pattern shop, right alongside the baby doll pattern and Cat & Mouse.

Phoebe Rag Doll Cat & Mouse Pattern

In case you missed it! Last week I released another doll sewing pattern in my shop, the Phoebe Rag Doll Cat and Mouse pattern, with the cutest little clothes! This new pattern is a sister pattern to the Phoebe Rag Doll I released a few weeks ago with the sleep sack and diaper. The baby doll pattern has already been very popular and the new animal dolls are catching up fast, making me just giddy that so many are finding this pattern both adorable and doable!

The Phoebe Rag Doll Sewing Pattern

I’m very excited to announce an original sewing pattern, new to the Pin Cut Sew Shop! Introducing the Phoebe Rag Doll, an easy soft doll PDF sewing pattern, with a sleep sack and diaper.

I really wanted to create a simple, one piece, soft doll sewing pattern that’s simple enough for even kids to sew with help. There are many lovely rag doll sewing patterns on the market, but none are really very quick to make, and thus, aren’t something most people would have the desire to make more than once.
