Two Scarf Wrap

Sometimes two identical scarves are just waiting for you to buy, take home, and sew only two seams. As Bobbie Jo can attest, the end wrap is delightful to wear! Watch All Occasion Fabric Wraps (Part One and Part Two) on Sewing With Nancy online.

Tumbler Flag Quilt designed by Linda Coon

Sewing With Nancy viewers often email photos of their creative works. Nancy’s team loves seeing what you create! The image of the Tumbler Flag Quilt caught our attention and we knew you’d like to see it too. It was designed and made by Linda Coon from Louisiana, who caught the quilting bug a few years ago and hasn’t stop quilting. Linda agreed to share her quilting tutorial.

Simple to Chic T-Shirt Remakes

Knit tops are a wardrobe basic; most of us live in them. After awhile, the style can get, well, boring! Welcome to Simple to Chic T-Shirt Remakes with Eileen Roche, a Sewing With Nancy 2-part TV series. Watch online or on PBS. During this first episode, learn how to transform the common knit shirt into a fresh and smart-looking fashion. Embroidery machine designs are the key to adding embellishment and also the neckline transformation. It’s rather marvelous how it all happens.

Colorful Bean Bag Toss Project

One of American families favorite outdoor games goes by quite a few names, but in short can be called bean bag toss. What would the game be with out festive, colorful bags? This is a perfect afternoon sewing project to create with kids. Then, go have some backyard fun. Watch The Absolute Easiest Way to Sew on Sewing With Nancy online.

Absolute Easiest Way to Sew Pillow Corners

A complete sewing tutorial to create the blue lattice pillow can be found here. It includes an envelope pillow back and wrapped corners. This episode will focus on the wrapped corners, which can be easily applied to any pillow project. Watch Part Two of The Absolute Easiest Way to Sew Series on Sewing With Nancy.

Shirt Sleeve Gift Bag

They’ll call you clever when you arrive with a gift in this unique bag. Make a bag handle from another piece of the shirt, or use a shirt collar for the handle. The rust colored bag handle is a piece of the shirt placket. Check your closets for potential “fabric” for Sew Green Makeovers by Mary Mulari.

Nancy Zieman's Giveaway Winner

The winner of the I Sew For Fun Click Print Stitch Software from Eileen Roche and DIME, from the June 2 post, is Bev M.

Her comment is: Wow. This would be great for beginning 4-H sewers and for my granddaughter. I would probably start with the star skirt, because it is similar to the first year 4-H elastic waist skirt project.

    I would start with the scarf project. The shirt sleeve bags would be a quick project for a gift.

    I would love to have The Absolutely Easiest Way to Sew book and dvd set. I live in FL and my granddaughter lives in GA. I am teaching her to sew but am not with her all the time. This set would be a perfect reference guide for her when I am not there (she is 13). She is the only one in the family who has expressed interest in sewing and I am anxious to pass this craft on to her!

    I would love to upgrade t-shirts with machine embroidery necklines.

  • Jan C

    I like the clever sleeve idea. It is what you can do after you make the shirt apron.

  • Lois
    June 9, 2018

    I would probably make the 2 scarf wrap first, but those shirt sleeve gift bags are really a great recycle idea.

  • Jade

    I am new to embroidery and having so much fun learning new techniques….so can’t wait to try the t-shirt remake.

  • Noreen

    I’m going to get started with cute sleeve gift bags!

  • Bernice Ellen Johnson

    I would make the shirt sleeve bags. That way I could use my late husbands shirts and make gift bags for all my grand children as a memory for them of Grandpa.

  • Bonnie Shaul

    O would do scarfs. I already sew infinity scarfs.

  • Rosalind Gutierrez

    The patriotic bug bit me so the Tumbler Flag quilt is my first choice to make.

  • Kathleen Isaacson

    No matter how long you have been sewing, there is always more to learn. The Absolute Easiest Way to Sew would probably be good for both beginners and those more experienced.

    Simple to chic t-shirt shirt looks very lovely to make. Embroidery designs would look fabulous. Thanks for the chance to win.

    I would start with “The Absolute Easiest Way to Sew Pillow Covers”. With a small amount of fabric(expense), I will be able to sew a different set of covers for each season/holiday.

    Shirt Sleeve gift bag, It looks awesome, what a way to use shirts instead of throwing them out!!

  • Charlotte Meador

  • Sue Camino

    Love the sleeved gift bag idea. Is there never an end to creativity? Would love to make the scarfed top to give to my lady friends. They are elderly and just appreciate any thing that I make for them.

    The Two Scarf Wrap! Love it!

  • EllenB

    The bean bags would be great for the greats to play with when we get together, but I do love the tumbler flag.

  • L Watson

    Well, we just made bean bags for a Memorial Day yard game. So, I like the idea of sewing two scarves together for a flowy overlay…..lots of fun!

  • Patti

  • Gail Beam

  • RITA
    June 10, 2018

    My twin 6 year old nephews have helped me sew many times while I babysat. I think the bean bag toss game would be the perfect project to start with.

    Love the sleeve bags ,so neat !

  • Karen

    I would definitely use the sleeves to make wine bottle bags. They look like so much fun to make, especially the one with the placket for the handle! One could use the pants leg as well to carry a bigger bottle like a 2 liter bottle to a picnic or a jug of tea/margaritas!

  • E. Watson

    I just made bean bags for a Memorial Day game, but realistically, I would probably make more bean bags first. However, I really like the tumbler flag quilt! 🙂

  • Sarah

    For Memorial Day I made bean bags for a game we played. I enjoyed that they were a quick and easy project.

  • Susan

    Beanbags (my brother has been asking for a year!) and sleeve gift bags. I have an ottoman full of dress shirts, like new but no longer worn by my husband, that I have been itching to make something really cool with! Thanks! I love the Stars dedicated to Nancy. She sparked my passion for sewing.

    Would love to make the quilt for a gentleman at our church who has become my surrogate grandfather. He is very proud of his military history and has just celebrated his 93rd birthday. Still spry and alert and does crafts as well (Leatherwork and caning which is almost a lost art) Thanks for the posts!
