Quick and Easy Ideas for JulyJuly is a busy month with holiday and family festivities.
We thought you would like some quick and easy ways to simplify your
sewing, quilting, and crafting projects. This month, we are pleased
to feature our new Omnigrid®
Template Kits by Sharlene Jorgenson. Each of the nine rotary-cutting
template kits include step-by-step instructions and full-color illustrations.
We are sure you will enjoy using the time-saving cutting and piecing
techniques along with convenient yardage charts to create lovely
quilts in a variety of sizes.Purses and handbags continue to be everywhere and
on everyone’s fashion list. If you have looked in the pattern
books lately, you have seen many different sizes and styles. From
a simple tote bag to a designer look-alike, there is a style to
match every fashion trend.In light of July’s hectic schedule, we offer
an intriguing way to transform an ordinary placemat into an original
bag in an afternoon or less. Using Bag
Boutique™ hardware and handles along with ribbon, lettering
and other inexpensive items, your placemat bag will look like you
found the perfect accent for any summer outing.If you enjoy dolls and doll crafting, we invite you
to visit the Dritz®
for Doll brand page. The miniature accessories and notions are
perfect for a small world. We feature tips
and techniques from industry leaders as well as fun
projects to get you started in this fantasy craft. If you create
an interesting doll item using Dritz for Dolls products, we are
interested in what you are designing. Contact me
about your project, and we may feature you on the Dritz for Dolls
page.My projects this month (Monogrammed
Placemat Bag with Ribbon Handles, Decorative Pinwheels, and
Advanced Placemat Bags) have a patriotic theme but with a change
of fabric, you can use them for any occasion. They are quick, easy,
and fun for even the youngest sewers and crafters. Remember: Become
