Sewology Sunday - Boxed Bottoms
Happy Sewology Sunday! Today's post is a short tutorial on how to make Boxed Bottoms in bags. We used this quick and easy technique in our Cooper Carry-All bag. This technique gives your bag a flat bottom and helps the bag sit up by itself.
Sewology Sunday - Stitch & Flip
Happy Easter / Sewology Sunday Everyone! Today's post is about the Stitch and Flip technique. It is used in lots of projects out there, but most importantly (to us anyways!) it is used in our new bag pattern, the Cooper Carry-All. It is fun, quick, easy and versatile.

Sewology Sunday - Installing Grommets
Happy Sewology Sunday! My Sunday's usually start with a big cup of coffee and some puppy love while I peruse my favorite social media outlets and blogs.

Sewology Sunday - Paper Piecing
Set the stitch length on your sewing machine to 18-20 stitches per inch. On some machines that will be a 1.5. The smaller stitches make it easier to rip off the paper. All right, we are ready to begin! (We are using our Lombard Street pattern as an example in the photos. Lombard Street is coming soon!)
Sewology Sunday - Purse Handles
Happy Superbowl Sunday! Since I am not emotionally invested in the Ravens or 49ers, today is more about food than football for me! We do munchies for lunch: chips & guacamole, chicken wings and 7 layer dip! Yum, now I am hungry! For dinner we will make homemade pizzas at half-time!
