Showcasing ~ Reusable Fabric Christmas Crackers ~ Tutorial

The beauty of hand made Christmas Crackers is the ability to put your own gifts inside. Typical store bought crackers contain a joke, a party hat and a plastic novelty. Making your own crackers, the contents are limited only by your imagination.

Showcasing ~ Lined Tote Bag with Handle Cover ~ Tutorial

What I love about today's showcased project is the handle cover. Not only does it keep both of the handles together, it also makes holding the bag easier - no more straps digging into your hands.

Pillowcases & Blanket ~ Skirting the Issue

Once again the girls from Simple Simon and Company are running Skirting the Issue, a month long sew along in support of children who could do with a little something to brighten their lives.

Today's drawstring bag is a little different, though - it has a panel inside, to divide the bag into two compartments.

Showcasing ~ Secret Pocket Coathanger ~ Tutorial

Today's showcased tutorial is rather nifty - one project with two purposes. It would be very handy if you travel, although I can see several uses for this in my own wardrobe at home.
