Picnic Florals Granny Purse & A Patchwork Coaster Tutorial

 Today I am sharing a few projects I made with the new fabric line from My Mind’s Eye, “Picnic Florals”. It is such a sunny, fun fabric line. Just what I need this time of year! I absolutely love the pink and yellow color way. The prints include an adorable strawberry print, gorgeous florals, and a lovely gingham and stripe.



The “Granny Purse” is a sweet hobo style bag. It has a cute little gathered pocket on one side. I added a custom covered button and loop closure. The purse is roomy with an inside pocket. Perfect for the market or for your portable knitting or sewing project.



The opposite side of the bag has a patch pocket. I trimmed the pocket with a sweet lace trim.


This collection just had to be made into a cute patchwork project. I love having a collection of coasters. 
I made this sweet 9 patch coaster and you can too! 


Sometimes it is nice to make a quick project and this coaster is just that project. 
It is a free pattern on my blog!

If you make a project with “Picnic Florals” be sure to tag your photos on social media with the following hashtags:

My Good Night Nightie at Sew Mama Sew!



Happy Wednesday.
This is a quick post to let you know the Good Night Nightie I designed for Stitch Beautiful Bedrooms is available as a free download!  You can find it [here] at the Sew Mama Sew Site.



I absolutely love mine and wear it often - so perfect for warm summer nights!

The fabric I used is a voile from Little Lisette which is now out of print but would be perfect in a lawn or lightweight silk.


If you like the cover pic - I designed that as well : )  it is a perfect lightweight robe with a pretty ruffle detail, shirred waist and inside tie.
The book has wonderful projects for your bedroom, from slippers and eye masks to quilts and a beautiful duvet set!

Enjoy!!!
