This year I sewed up a bunch of last minute pot holders for Christmas gifts for my kids teachers, girl scout leaders, dance instructor, and friends that I wanted to express gratitude for how much they do for us all year long.  Yes, I realize that I am a little late posting them, but they were last minute after all!

I have the cutest DIY Pom Pom trim coaster tutorial and a little about the process of how I get my craft on.  For those of us that are makers, sewing, crafting and making things is not just about the end result but the process.  It is the ritual of the imagining of a new project, turning it about in the mind with all the possibilities, scouring Pinterest for inspiration.

This week I’m sharing 5 must have sewing supplies to get started sewing.  Last week I showed how to get started sewing by learning how to thread a sewing machine.  This week I am sharing the must have notions that any beginner will need to start their first project.  

When you start sewing the most intimidating part is the sewing machine!  Or more specifically how to thread your sewing machine.  I hear from my non sewing friends all the time that they have no idea where to start and are scared to take their machine out of the box or that they just couldn’t figure out how to set it up.  Sometimes when you have been doing something for so long your forget about all the things you need to know to get started.

Make some easy DIY Pot Holders to give as a gift or just because!  Today I have a super easy pot holder tutorial and pattern for you.  This is a quick and simple sew and can be used with your favorite scrap fabrics.   Even better, you can quilt it or not quilt it.  I love using small bits of contrasting fabrics for a big pop of color.  I mixed this gorgeous print from Bari J. that my best friend Jennie had gifted me last year, with some coordinating fabrics and made the cutest little pot holders to send her.  She was so excited to receive a sewing gift in the mail with one of her favorite prints.  I just love how new pot holders can spruce up your kitchen!  

Welcome to the super easy peasy tutorial on how to sew ruching to ANYTHING!  Its an easy way to add an accent to your favorite shirt or shorts, and works especially well with knits!  Which leads me to the super awesome cozy knit capris that I sewed up with ruched sides.  I am going to be honest, that I am a little jealous that these belong to my daughter and not me.  haha.

Today I have another great baby project: Easy DIY Baby Swaddle Blanket Pattern and Tutorial which sews up quickly in 10 minutes..  This is perfect for anyone who wants to make a quick gift for a new baby!  Often many store bought swaddle blankets are never quite big enough to get a good swaddle, by making your own you can make one large enough for baby to grow and still wrap them up tight.  Also by using a knit, the fabric can breathe so baby doesn’t get too hot and has a slight stretch to it to help keep them snug.
