💕Sharing a sweet, fast and easy project. I have been harvesting lavender from my garden and love making sachets. They are perfect gifts. I also have them in every drawer, amongst fabric stacks. They are pretty enough to hang from a drawer handle too! This is a perfect project for some favorite scraps. Enjoy! ❤️ The Heart sachet uses cute fabrics from @sunnydaysupply and cute buttons from my stash. You can find the free patterns on my blog - charisecreates (dot) blogspot (dot) com, link in In...

❤️ 🍎 Today I'm sharing the Apple Wristlet I made with the new fabric from Dani Mogstad @dmogstad - "Vintage Charm". I absolutely adore this fabric line! It consists of beautiful florals, dots, a text print, and my favorite – the apple print! You can see it in the leaf : ) The Apple Wristlet can be found in my Etsy shop – Charise Creates, link in profile. Kassidy Bee Ginghams in color Coral was the perfect print for the body of the wristlet and the strap. I love a pink and red project! Y...

🍓 I have been having lots of fun working with the new line of fabric "Berry Market" designed by Bev @flamingotoes!

🦋 I thought the Wide Open Pouch deserved its own post! : ) I had so much fun working with the new fabric line - Home town Holiday by Lori Holt of @beelori1 for @rileyblakedesigns Home Town Holiday is a fun, cheerful line of fabrics which include holiday themed fabrics as well as adorable florals, plaids and text prints. I couldn’t resist trying the new pouch pattern from Zakka Workshop – Wide Open Tube Frame Pouch. I used my Spring Butterly foundation paper piecing pattern to adorn one sid...

Hi!  Today I am sharing the latest projects I made with the new line of fabric “Americana” designed by Lori Holt. Americana is a patriotic themed fabric in red, pink, yellow and blue with a nod to vintage feedsack style prints including florals and geometrics. I designed a new quilting block – Florette – which uses both curved piecing and appliqué. The Florette Block is 12″ square. I thought the Florette Block would be a perfect as a center piece for a sweet ruffle pillow. The finished size of the pillow is 16″ but can be customized to the size you need. Florette Quilt Block Pattern My Florette Pillow needed a friend, so I made a simple patchwork pillow using my favorite color combo of pink and yellow, and I love how Springy it looks! You can find a tutorial for making a ruffle pillow Here at Polka Dot Chair. I hope you choose to make a project with Americana Fabric! Happy Sewing Charise : )

You will need my Apple Coaster pattern which can be found in my Etsy shop - Charise Creates - link in profile.
