Book Review – Sewing In A Straight Line

by

Sewing in a Straight Line by Brett Bara $22.99

When it comes to sewing I am more of a dreamer than a do-er I like to admire projects, buy fabrics and dream of the day I will attempt a pattern. This book by Brett Bara has transcended me one step further. I now have a sewing machine. Now all I need is the time not much though as this book has 5 minute belts and 1 hour skirts.  This book is inspiring to anyone who is fearful of a sewing machine, anyone who thinks patterns are overwhelming or simple written in a foreign language.

This book is filled with patterns (26) to get you started which all involve simple straight line sewing techniques and is a must have for your book shelf.

Sewing Pattern – DIY Beach Towel Bag

If you are like me you want an easy way to carry your towel and a few items to the beach but don’t want a bag just to hold those things.

So I came up with the idea to make a beach towel bag. This way it is a bag that can hold a few items but also function as your towel. I love it! I share with you how you can make your own beach towel bag.

This is an easy sewing project that is perfect for summer! I even made a few for my kids so they each have their own. Start sewing this fun bag today.

Sewing pattern: Mesh beach bag
Sewing pattern: Beach bag with a mesh pocket

Tutorial and pattern: Oversized beach bag with rope handles
