Sleepover Bag with Matching Pillowcase

Whether traveling or staying home for the holidays, kids will love crashing near the Christmas tree in this cozy sleepover bag and matching pillowcase made in pretty holiday flannel and cotton. Itโ€™s big, but itโ€™s not complex.

Structured Fabric Baskets

We used standard quilting cotton, which means fabric choices are huge! Because our structured basket set nests together, itโ€™s easy to store when not in use. But when would they not be in use?! Organize any room or use as gift baskets.

Flannel + Sherpa Fleece Lovie

Small and soft; those are the requirements for a โ€œlovieโ€ โ€“ a cuddle-up-with-me blanket destined to become an instant favorite and a soothing companion for nap time, story time, or any time a little soft security is needed.

Tuxedo Style Pillowcases in Soft Flannel

Looking for a clever way to wake up the snappy dresser in your life: our “well-suited” pillowcases in soft, garment style flannels might be just the thing. The โ€œshirt frontโ€ accent at the trimโ€™s center features mini pleats and buttons.

Plush Fleece Throw with Patchwork + Pom Pom Border

A large, plush center framed with patchwork and poms. Even if you’ve NEVER done any patchwork, you can make this beautiful throw. Part of the fun is picking out 72 border squares, combining your favorite colors and patterns.

Patchwork Baby Quilt with Monogram

This handsome (and easy) quilt is made up of bright, bold geometrics. We added a custom monogram to a bottom corner square to personalize the project and make it a cherished keepsake for baby and parents.

Sew Soft Cuddleยฎ Strip Blankets

Strip piecing is a fast and easy mainstay in quilting; weโ€™ve borrowed the technique for a bundle-up, super soft blanket. And, rather than using only one-directional strips, we mixed horizontal insets within the main vertical strips.

Five-Pocket Sofa or Chair Arm Caddy

Designed to fit over the arm of a sofa, you could also use this caddy at the bedside, place it over the back of a chair or loop it over a hanger in the closet. The five pockets let you organize what you want and keep it where you want.

Glow in the Dark Body Pillow

Looking for a Halloween pillow pal? How about a full size body pillow – maybe one that glows in the dark?! We used an envelope style closure for the bottom opening that hides the end of the pillow inside a hemmed pocket.

Microwavable Rice Filled Heating Pads

Fast and easy, and a very useful gift. When cold comes around, they’re excellent for muscle aches or when you feel a chill but don’t want to crank up the thermostat. Use them in the summer heat by freezing for a pleasant cooling effect.

How can you pack your favorite jewelry without it becoming a tangled mess?! Our unique pouch has eight, wedge-shaped pockets to hold your treasures. It gathers up with a drawstring, enclosing the pockets in an upright position.

Divided and Structured Fabric Basket

Divide and conquer to contain the chaos! We created one of our famous fabric baskets, then added some organizing extras: inner and outer pockets, double carry handles, and a removable center divider. Great for car trips!

Round Heavy Duty Bucket Tote

With a generously-sized round bucket tote, you can keep all your tools of the trade together so theyโ€™re handy to take from room to room or out and about. For extra toughness, we suggest canvas on the exterior as well as the lining.

Airstream Zippered Toiletry Bag

The curved design of this toiletries bag reminds us of the classic Airstream travel trailers. It’s an efficient size and shape, with an open-wide zipper, so you can organize all your bath necessities whether on the road or at home.

Reversible Pillowcases

When it comes to instant gratification, itโ€™s hard to beat the pillowcase. A crisp, new pillowcase immediately brightens up your bed linens. It’s quick and fun to make them for all kinds of special occasions. These are reversible!

Fitted Crib Sheet in Cozy Fleece

Cotton sheets are crisp and clean and launder beautifully, but they can feel cool on baby’s cheeks. Sometimes it’s nice to switch up to a soft fleece to help your little one drift off to dreamland in warm and cozy comfort.

Knit Baby Hats + Receiving Blankets

Soft receiving blankets and cute little hats are a classic combo to delight a new mama and daddy. If you are brand new to knits, we also link to our full Sewing with Knits tutorial for helpful tips, tools, and techniques.

Hooded Baby Bath Towel + Matching Bound Washcloth

Woolies Flannel Rag Quilt

Wrap up your favorite someone in this snuggly rag quilt with its special “secret admirerโ€ heart appliquรฉ. A rag quilt is sewn together so the seams show on the outside. After washing and drying, the seams begin gently fray or rag.

Hearts on a String Sachets

With triple the heart-stopping cuteness, our heart sachets hang three in a row on a ribbon with a ring at the top and a button weight at the bottom. Use them to add a bit of scented sweetness anywhere it’s needed.

Round Lined Basket with Fold Over Cuff

From hiding messy bits and bobs to holding knitting, sewing or other creative supplies, these baskets could easily find a home in any room. Or, pack one with some items to give as a mini gift basket for a wedding or housewarming.

Sleepover Sack with Matching Pillowcase

It’s a snuggly, lightweight choice for a sleepover party or a night at grandma’s. The matching pillowcase makes it a complete set, and a wraparound harness with a built-in handle means itโ€™s easy to carry to and from.

Whale Appliquรฉ Hand Towels

Wash your hands! Getting little ones to follow this important recommendation can be challenging. Make washing up more fun with our cute hand towels. Weโ€™ve created two adorable whale appliquรฉs you can download for free.

The Lodge Blanket

Toasty. Thatโ€™s what this blanket is all about. We layered a plush Sherpa style faux fur with a rich faux suede then bound it all around with the suede. The natural tones and classic plaid have the rustic look of a lumberjack coat.

Lap Blanket with DIY Chenille Accents

When temperatures dip, it’s a perfect time for a lightweight lap blanket to keep you cozy. Our 41โ€ x 41โ€ design features corner tassels and unique accent scallops. Wash, fluff, and dry to give these strips the fuzzy feel of chenille.

Cozy Kid’s Roll-and-Go Nap Blanket

This soft and sweet nap time pad with its own built-in blanket just might make afternoon slumbers a little bit easier. The roll-up blanket would also be a cozy alternative to the standard flat pad for school-time napping.

Canvas Laundry Hamper with Drawcord Cotton Liner

No more clothes on the floor! Our two-part hamper has an outer structured box with an inner drawstring bagโ€ฆ same idea as your garbage can. Kids can fill โ€˜er up, then cinch โ€˜er up, and carry the dirties to the wash.
