Showcasing ~ Golf Bag Tutorial

Adding a pocket for personal items to a sports bag, means less items to carry around, not to mention less likelihood of losing keys and mobile phone while enjoying a day on the golf course.

Make a golf bag, with room for lots of golf balls in the main compartment. On the outside are easy to access pockets for golf tees. And there's an extra pocket for keys and mobile phone. Tutorial by Vicky Myers Creations.

Selvedge Fabric Drawstring Bag ~ Tutorial

Today I thought I'd show you how I made some selvedge (selvage) fabric and turned it into a little drawstring bag. The selvedges are usually thrown away, so the cost of making this cute little bag is next to nothing, and it's super quick to make.

This week's features (all have been Pinned)...

A very informative tutorial, added to the Quilting & Patchwork link party. Next time I sew a quilt, I'm going to try Carole's measure and cut method of adding a quilt border, instead of the slap and sew way I do it now...

Carole is not only a long arm quilter, but also a girl of many talents, who happens to own ten sewing machines. I have known Carole, ever since she showed me her wallhanging of the Stig.

Five Years Blogging ~ What I've Learnt

Five years ago I tentatively clicked the Publish button on my first post to Threading My Way. Uppermost in my mind were three questions...
  • Will anyone read my blog?
  • Do I want to put myself out there?
  • Will I measure up?
Today I thought I'd share my thoughts on the ride so far - what I've learnt and how blogging has changed over those years.

Showcasing ~ Worry Eaters ~ Tutorial

Worry Eaters have a large mouth to take away the worries of their owners. Tutorial by Upcyclelina shows how to make one from upcycled clothes.

Robot Quilt

Today I am very happy to show you the Robot Quilt - nine wonky log cabin style blocks, each with a robot appliqué in the centre. It's an understatement to say I am thrilled with how this quilt came together.
