I don't know why these are called hobo bags, because I can't imagine a hobo having the time to whip up this little number. However, I have to say, I like the shape very much and somewhat got over my aversion to sewing curves. Fabric shown is Peapod (outside) and Leaflet (inside) from the Modern Flora Collection. | Materials Needed: * 1 yard fabric for exterior of bag * 2/3 to 1 yard fabric for interior of bag * 2/3 yard of heavy stabilizer (I used Pellon 65) * piece of closed cell foam 2" x 18" * magnetic snap * 2 round rings for straps * 1 8" long zipper (if inside pocket is desired) * Fabric 10" x 12" for pocket (again, if desired) * Purse pattern downloadable here. Prints on six 8 1/2" x 11" pages with guides to tape together. (Requires Adobe Acrobat Reader.) | Put together the pattern matching the circles. The pattern pages overlap by 1/2". Then cut your material following the pattern instructions. | I trim down my interfacing about 1/4" all the way around so that I can follow the... See less

When you come to where you started on the binding, fold the raw ends of your binding under and overlap them about 1/2" past your starting point. | 1 Closed cell foam is a dense, thin foam that doesn't compress much. It is usually black, blue or white. It is not the cushy yellowish foam you find in your seat cushions. Where do you find closed cell foam? The easiest solution if you want just a little is to buy Foamies or another brand of foam sheets at a craft store and glue them together to get a thickness of a 1/4" or so. If you want closed cell foam in bulk, find a marine or auto upholstery business. If you're lucky, maybe they will give you a small piece to play with before you commit to a 10 yard roll! I'm sure you could also find it on the internet, it is just bulky (and thus expensive) to ship. If you can't find any closed cell foam, your next best option is chair cushion foam or cardboard. The disadvantage of chair cushion foam is it has to be thicker (like an 1") to provide any... See less

Materials needed: * Fabric - Cotton or Cotton Polyester blend * Thread * Poster Board - optional Directions Napkins can be made in any size square you are comfortable with. The standard sizes are 12, 14, and 16 inch squares. The easiest way to make sure they will all be square is to make a poster board template. Use a carpenters square or measure each side and from corner to corner to make sure your template is square. A set of four is a nice gift. To make it spectacular, make a double set. They can be any color or coordinating. Let's face it not many of us use them, except for when we have company, so make enough for the occasion. If you have a serger, the job is almost done. Use your rolled hem feature to finish all the edges. Not having a serger won't stop you. See less

Make a Dog Toy Out of Dish Towels It's hard to decide which is more painful: paying for a dog toy that's going to be destroyed in no time flat or living with a gnarled pig's ear on the sofa. Take dish towels that look as if they've lived in an auto shop for the last decade and make them into chew toys that won't cost you a penny. What You Need: Three laundered dish towels and scissors. What You Do: 1. Cut an inch-wide strip from one short end of two towels. 2. Bunch each of the three towels and use one strip to tie them firmly together at one end. Tightly braid them, then tie the other end with the second strip. Also Works With: Napkins and orphan socks, for smaller pooches. See less
