sunglasscase

Hi!  It's Melissa from the Polka Dot Chair Blog.  Today I'm going to be sharing with you a tutorial on how to make this fun little sunglasses case. There are two things you should know about me 1) I ALWAYS have a pair of sunglasses with me, I can't drive without them, the sun hurts my eyes.   2) My purse is a MESS.   All  of the sunglass cases I had before were to heavy so I didn't carry them around with me.  I made this simple case to be lightweight enough to not weigh me down ... ...read more

Fabric, a universal language

27 Mar 2013


Hello from Germany...Bret and I are in Cologne for the H&H show. Which is similar to International Quilt market, but different in that there are so many yarn, craft and hobby exhibitors here as well.   The photo above was taken from our hotel window. Across the Rhine river is the Dome Cathedral, from what I understand it is the tallest cathedral in all of Germany.   The weather has been unseasonably cold, but we enjoyed the warmth of good company.  These ladies, shown with Amanda from The Quilted Fish, have their own fabric store in Germany and they had ... ...read more

Hanging Car Pockets Sewing Tutorial

I have a little boy.  Which also means I have little cars scattered around the bedroom floor.  I figured out a way to both organize the cars and keep them off the floor: Hanging Car Pockets.  These pockets are awesome because it hangs inside his closet door and he actually keeps his car in it.  {I think he is just happy that I sewed something for him instead of the girls.}  I am just happy the cars are off the floor so I don’t step on them anymore. :)  Want to make one?  I created a tutorial just for you ... ...read more
