Rolie Polie Raggedy Skirt Tutorial

Skirts are the easiest thing to design and sew.  If ever I want to boost my sewing confidence I make a skirt.  That is how this tutorial for the Rolie Polie Raggedy Skirt came to be…I needed a confidence booster. :)  I love the edges of the rolie polie strips.  They are pinked and will not fray to badly, but will look really cool and country if sewn like a rag quilt.  So I sewed the edges outward and it turned out so cute.  Make sure to pin it to your “Sew Easy” boards.  This is a simple and fun ... ...read more

Fabric requirements for our Mystery quilt

14 Jan 2013

       We have had a lot of questions about fabric requirements for our Mystery Quilt.  Plan on 1 1/2 yards of a white or a light colored fabric for the background of the quilt blocks.
