Sew, Mama, Sew is having a
tutorial contest, which is great news for someone like me. I don't have the experience to write a tutorial, half the time I'm making things up as I go along, anyway. But, the contest has revealed two things (1) lots of great tutorials and (2) lots of great blogs I've never read.
And you know how I've been obsessed with finding a new purse?
I love the shape of this bag, and the way it uses coordinating fabrics.
Lola did a great job with this
tutorial and it makes the bag look very doable. It also looks like her blog has several great
tutorials, which I find very exciting. Because I love tutorials!
This one is called an Everything Bag, but I'm thinking I keep a little bit of "everything" in my purse, so...
Completely random thought: for this bag,
Erin uses a tutorial format that I'm a big fan of. It's just so easy to follow along and not get too ahead of yourself when each webpage is its own step. And, again, this is another
great blog I discovered as a result of the Tutorial Contest. I can't wait to read more.
These are just two of the tutorials entered in the contest, and the subject matter ranges from
mermaid skirts and
headbands to
post-it note quilts and
quilted floor cloths (great idea!). And in case you're generally not familiar with S
ew, Mama, Sew, It's an online fabric store that also happens to have a great
tutorials section on their blog.
