I've been bookmarking great sewing projects (to help me get back into it) and thought I'd share this free purse pattern.

things I should be making:

I'm hoping this 2010 is the summer of crafts. 

1. cute summer dresses.
2. sweet, yet simple bookshelf.
3. fancy laptop sleeve.

sewing in CMYK.

The Leitfaden sewing machine has a built in thread printer that dyes the universal thread to match the color of fabric you're sewing on. It's kind of genius.

Designed by Monika Jakubek and Anna Mueller.

I was always curious.

Isn't this animated .gif cool? (I can't remember where I grabbed it from...) My mom fixed my sewing machine last weekend though. It turns out my bobbin wasn't spun tight enough, so it kept jamming up. Now I'm back up and running :)

hex code fabric.

Holy nerdtastic! Apparently this cotton print will be available in just a couple of weeks. Seriously, what can I make?
