Love sewing? Me too! Making a fabric cover for your sewing machine protects it from dust and other grime. A sewing machine cover is a great beginner project. Basically, this pattern has you sewing together rectangles of varying sizes. This is also a good opportunity to use stash fabric. My sewing machine cover was made from leftover fabric from my Upcycled Apron.

Today we’re going to learn how to do the single crochet join method.
I actually really like how the single crochet join method looks because it creates a “pinstripe” appearance on the right side of your work. It is a raised, visible line and when done with a pretty color to join your squares with, it looks amazing.

Sending a card for no reason is one of the best ways to reach out to friends and family. This “groovy” greeting was easy to make using the dies from the Flowers & Fence stamp and die set from Sizzix/Stephanie Barnard.
