I love making cushions and seeing the faces of my friends and family when they receive their unique gifts. All my cushion tops are 'mini-quilts' (pieced, basted and quilted) so I get to practice and play with new fabric all the time and create lovely things in just a couple of hours :)

Pants Bags
Pants Bags are what I call these little (14-18" ish) drawstring bags for holding pants, socks, etc when you go on holiday - I don't know about you but I like to keep my pants packed rather than put them in other people's drawers ... no, doesn't bother you? Just me then!!

A new addition to my not so vast repertoire of sewing projects and not quilting, I know, but still a really good way to use up my fabric stash and they make lovely gifts for all my friends and family. Plus, this tutorial from Stacie made it so easy to follow that I can create one of these lovelies in a couple of hours :)
