Summer fun and a DIY first aid kit

DIY first aid kit
Now that summer is here, many people are planning day outings or vacations with the kiddos.  It’s a good idea to have a first aid kit with you in case something happens, and I know I haven’t even kept one in my car (I’m learning, though!).  So this pattern has a free zipper pouch tutorial and a free foundation paper piecing tutorial in it.  Two for the price of one! But not really, because they’re both free 😉  Head over to the AQS Blog and get your free tutorial HERE!

If you don’t feel like messing around with the band aid block and the paper piecing, you can totally skip that part and just cut two slid pieces of fabric for the front and back.  But those little band aids are so cute!  

I filled my little kit up with band aids, some antiseptic spray and wipes, bandage tape, gauze, and antibiotic ointment.  You can personalize yours however you’d like and maybe sew up an extra one for a friend (or for dad’s car).  The little band aids are a great way to use up small scraps of fabric.  I know I have a hard time throwing any fabric away, so I’ll keep this block pattern close at hand for teacher gifts or whatever!  Happy sewing until next time!

Florence Market Tote – Printed Pattern

A woman holding onto a blue and white bag

The Florence Market Tote Pattern finishes at 19″ wide x 16″ tall x 6″ deep and includes options for creating your own using quick Half-square triangles or solid fabric for a wholecloth effect. This is a great carry all bag that can be customized to include all 4 interior pockets, along with an interior zip pocket, or you can select which to add.  Slender pockets are great for pens and lip balm, and the wide pocket helps you wrangle your phone with ease.  The generous size makes this the perfect tote for everything!

Instructions detail how to make the half-square triangle tote.  There is also an option to make a wholecloth tote, and the dimensions to do that are included in the pattern.  I have used extra English paper piecing projects to make other panels into the size needed for the wholecloth bag, but these instructions are not explicitly included in the Florence Market Tote pattern and you’ll need to purchase whatever EPP pattern you prefer to complete that.

The Florence Market Tote has an inset zipper set inside the top of the tote to securely contain all of your goodies.

For a lightning fast finish, pick a bold fabric to show off a wholecloth design.  Or pick two great solids to create a modern tote.

  • The finished size is 19″ wide x 16″ tall x 6″ deep.
  • Skill level is confident beginner, and pattern has step-by-step instructions with pictures to guide you through.

  • Picture diagrams with each piece are labeled for ease of selecting your fabrics.
  • The listing does not include the actual tote in the photos.
  • This is a template-free pattern and all pieces can be easily and quickly cut with a regular acrylic quilting ruler.
  • Pattern assumes the sewist has basic knowledge of piecing and quilting.

Lucky Stars EPP Quilt Pattern

Lucky Stars EPP Quilt Pattern

Lucky Stars Cover

The Lucky Stars EPP quilt is a fun and unique English Paper Piecing Pattern.  The simple, yet bold design allows you to build your sewing and quilting skills, while still providing a big impact.  Try this pattern with a little fussy cutting, or go entirely scrappy to use up your stash.  Fabrics requirements are calculated using solids so you have a starting point for how much fabric you may need for the quilt, along with backing construction methods for each.  This pattern is great for your favorite fabrics to really make them shine!  Fabrics used for the cover quilt are from various fabrics by Libs Elliott, Giucy Giuce, Alison Glass, Andover, Ruby Star Society, and Tula Pink.  Various black and dark grey fabrics were used for the “background” fabric.  The cover quilt has a dark background, but this quilt will also look stunning with a light background.

Fabric Kits can be purchased HERE.

Assembly methods for this quilt are: English Paper Piecing for the star portion of the quilt, standard machine piecing for the background squares, and a small amount of very basic applique to attach the stars to the background blocks (Lucky Stars blocks can also be topstitched down to the backgorund if you wish to avoid the applique).  Very detailed, step-by-step videos are included (links on the 2nd page) with the pattern. 

Embroidery Perfection tape may be purchased here.  This tape is helpful as basting tape to sew the inset circle.
