Vinyl Goodie Bags

Some of my favorite projects are the ones that are easy and have TONS of uses. My vinyl goodie bag tutorial is one of those. The bags are pretty easy to make (especially if several are made at one time) and can be used to hold party favors, jewelry, little toys, makeup for on the go, crafting supplies, etc.

Because the bags have a large clear section it is easy to identify what is inside and the fabric top can be customized to fit any theme or preference you have.

I hope you will check out the tutorial HERE and that you like it!

Quick Bun Styling Ideas

Since Valentine’s Day is coming up (which hopefully means a date night!) I wanted to share some quick ideas for turning a boring hairstyle into something glam! By adding some basic accessories, like beaded bracelets, your hair looks like you spent a lot more time and effort on it than what you actually did.

I hope you like the ideas shared in the video HERE! Let me know if you give any of them a try and feel free to send pics!

DIY Fabric Bunting – Party or Creative Space Decor

My nephew turned 1-year-old earlier this month! My sister had come across pics of some fabric bunting (or banners) that she liked and asked it I would make something similar for the party. My mom taught me a new technique for making each fabric flag with only one seam up the back. I made a sample to give it a try and it looked great so I used it for this tutorial.

We picked out a lot of fun, bright boy prints for the fabrics, but any kind of fabric and print would work. I’ve already heard from several people who want to make one for their little girl or for a craft space.

Another fun idea is to applique letters on each flag to spell out a name or word. You can use the center fold as a guideline to place the letters before the flag has been sewn together. Check out my applique tutorial if you want step-by-step instructions.

So here is the video tutorial – the pattern is located in the free patterns tab on whitneysews.com
