Fabulous fabrics and amazing accessories shine in the limelight of this It’s Sew Easy TV show!
Kay Whitt from Serendipity Studio is up first with a wonderful jewelry pouch. With Mother’s Day coming up this circular pouch could be the answer to the “what can I make that’s special enough for Mom” question. In fact, this item would fill the need for many gift giving occasions.
I've made a couple of these myself, using a similar method but taking the extra step of adding a monogram to the center circle outside the pouch. This shows only on the bottom side but it sure makes the owner feel special.

Wait till you see how quickly Kay puts hers together with her rainbow of fabric choices. Throughout the show he dishes out tips left and right! I suggest you listen close and keep paper and a pencil handy. One of her tips includes the use of a guide for stitching around the circle. Below you'll see one of my favorite guides. Although it's designed for use with the walking foot, it slips nicely into the slot at the back of the standard presser foot holder. This featured accessory is for Brother machines and you'll find more info when you click on the image.
Kay has complete directions for you along with a printable pattern for this project. Click on the image below and it will take you right where you need to go.
In part two, Joanne Hillestad (AKA The Fat Quarter Gypsy) makes her first appearance on It's Sew Easy with a pretty quilted tablet cover.
She'll teach you how to mix, match, and make your case with eye-catching fabric selections. Joanne provides instructions for her project as well. Click on the star image below to view and download these.
You’ll see that foam is the filler for this project. It’s interesting to note that the popularity of this foam, be it fusible on one side, fusible on both sides, or standard. It's often seen as a replacement for batting. Joanne is quick to point out that it’s important to keep this foam out of the seam allowance. While I think batting is still a good option in some cases, this product works well when you want that extra puff that the foam gives.
