Fat Quarter Makes

Fat Quarter Project; Book Case and Book Mark

Fat Quarter Project; Quilted Mug Rug

With this month’s theme being ‘Sugar & Spice’, I immediately thought of all the delicious treats that I like to enjoy over the festive season: Mince pies, panettone, gingerbread and more - yum!   

Fat Quarter Make; Hand Warmers

This month’s project is a super simple one, but also absolutely perfect for the colder months. They only use small amounts of fabric, so a perfect scrap busting make. They also make adorable gifts - tie them up with a ribbon or sew up a drawstring bag (like the one in September’s magazine) and you’re good to go. 

Fat Quarter Make; Pumpkins

I’ve seen lots of these adorable fabric pumpkins around so I thought they would make the perfect project for this month’s theme. They’re super easy and can actually be made without a sewing machine at all!

Fat Quarter Make; Gift Bag

If you want a more sustainable - and beautiful - way to wrap your gifts, then look no further than this fabric gift bag.

Fat Quarter Make; Lanyard

A lanyard is one of those practical items that everyone can find a use for - whether it’s to hold your work pass, your keys or even your snips while you’re sewing! 

Fat Quarter Make; Sunglasses Case

All of my glasses end up being scratched or broken. Yes, I’m that person who just leaves them lying around or throws them in a bag with no protection. 

Fat Quarter Make; Make Up Bag

I first made this style of make-up bag a few years ago and it’s something I have given as gifts many times - in fact just last week I made 6 of these for my son’s nursery staff as a thank you gift when he moved up to the next room.
