Spring has arrived! This is a great time to create these beautiful towels to display in your home at this time of year.
You will be creating your applique fabric by choosing fabrics in pastels or coordinating colors to complement your home.

This month, I will be demonstrating how fast and easy it is to make a Sew Simple Wallet, a by Annie pattern. This pattern has three pocket versions, one, two and three. They are perfect to carry cash, credit cards, loyalty cards, coupons and more. The single pocket version is great to tuck a gift card in for someone special. For the flap closure I’ll be showing the By Annie’s Tool-Free Snaps, that are the newest sewing notion that makes installing a snap. No more pliers, hammers or sewing needle and thread needed. There will also be other project samples that are quick and useful that use these incredible snaps.

This gives a great opportunity to use up scraps or design a fabric for a special project. The fabric can be used for pillows, bags, placemats, totes, zipper pouches, yoke for clothing, potholders and so much more.
