Okay, I know some of you missed this one... because you were the ones who asked me to make it. 😂🧵

My Drawstring Purse tutorial went up recently, and this was one of the projects you all specifically requested after I featured it in an earlier video!

It's a cute, beginner-friendly bag that feels a little more elevated than some of the usual beginner projects, but it's still surprisingly simple to sew. I'll walk you through the whole thing step by step, including the handles, drawstring casing, and those finishing touches that bring it all together.

And there's a FREE printable pattern to make it even easier. 💜

And if this wasn't the tutorial you were waiting for... 👀 I've got another beginner-friendly project that you all requested coming tomorrow!

I'm working my way through your request list. 😂

A little sewing room update... 🧵💜

I've been a little under the weather this past week, and unfortunately my voice decided to join in. 😂 I was hoping to get a new tutorial out for you on Friday, but it's pretty difficult to record a sewing tutorial when you sound a little bit like a frog. 🐸

The good news is I'm feeling a lot better, and I'm hoping to have the new tutorial finished and ready for you tomorrow evening!

And this one is actually a project you all requested, which makes me even more excited to finally share it with you. I'm sorry it's taken me a little longer than planned to get it out!

Thanks for being patient with me while I get back to sounding like myself again...well, mostly. 😂🧵

🛍️ JoAnn is gone...but where are you supposed to buy all the OTHER sewing supplies? 🧵✂️

That was one of the biggest questions I kept hearing after the store closed. Fabric is one thing, but what about thread, zippers, interfacing, stabilizers, notions, machine supplies, and all the other things you actually need to sew?

So I did the research and narrowed it down to the places I think are ACTUALLY WORTH SHOPPING...retailers with a meaningful selection of sewing supplies, reasonable prices, and enough variety to help fill the gap JoAnn left behind.

If you're still figuring out where to shop for sewing supplies now, this one's for you!

📏 Ever feel like sewing instructions assume you already know a whole language no one actually taught you? 😅

⅜" seam allowance. ⅝ yard. Fat quarters. Fabric bolts. All those tiny lines on a ruler...

If you've ever found yourself stopping mid-project wondering, “Wait...what does that actually mean?” I made this video for you.

I break down some of the most confusing sewing measurements and terms in plain English, including fractions, fabric yardage, seam allowances, ruler markings, measuring tools, and more, so you can spend less time second-guessing yourself and more time actually sewing. 🧵
