It’s a Hoot Owl Pincushion Sewing Pattern
WHOOO doesn’t love an owl? (Sorry, I couldn’t resist!) It’s a Hoot Owl Pincushion Sewing Pattern stands just 2″ (about 5cm) tall and is so. incredibly. cute.
Try your hand at hand sewing and use up some of that precious scrap fabric you’ve been saving. The pattern recommends stuffing the owl with ground walnut shells (found in most pet shops) and despite its title, in the end I think my owl may become more of a desk mascot than pincushion!

Learn to Sew Simple Bags
Speaking from experience, learning to sew a bag is a wonderful place to begin your sewing journey. Not only are you working with basic shapes (rectangles in most cases), but a basic tote is a fantastic project to start with as you build your skills (think adding a zipper or a pocket as you gain more confidence).
In Learn to Sew Simple Bags your instructor Nicole Vasbinder will teach how to sew two cute styles of bag: a timeless foldover tote with customizable pockets and a tasteful zippered clutch. Nicole will show you how to confidently work with your machine, from threading to changing the bobbin, presser foot and needle.
