  • sew a convertible picnic blanket

    Convertible Picnic Blanket with Pocket & Strap

    Sew a Convertible Picnic Blanket This picnic blanket converts into a tote with a few simple folds, making it great to take to the park, beach or on the road. The shoulder strap is tucked into the pocket when using the blanket, keeping it out of the way. Stuff the pocket with plates and cutlery for your picnic, a small pillow for a relaxing nap or conceal personal items when taking a dip in the water.

    Beach Tote Pattern with Machine Embroidery

    Beach Tote Pattern – Reimagined from the Aurora Bag A beach tote doesn’t have to be fussy or complicated. But it does need to be roomy and easy to wear. The Aurora pattern, designed by Sallie Tomato in partnership with Sulky for our 2021 New Year’s Eve Sew-Along event, is a large bag that has strap options and a zipper closure, with plenty of space on the front for added embellishments. So it lends itself well to a beach tote “remix.” We’ll start with this pattern but change up a few things and add a beach-themed embroidery design. Then, we’ll have the perfect beach tote to bring to the boardwalk,…

  • Fifth Avenue Fanny Pack Pattern Review

    Fifth Avenue Fanny Pack Pattern Review

    Fifth Avenue Fanny Pack by Sallie Tomato Pattern Review & Strap Variations The Fifth Avenue Fanny Pack by Sallie Tomato is really more of a “belt bag” than a fanny pack, as it is worn across the shoulder rather than over the “fanny.” However, it’s versatile with an adjustable, wide strap that allows you to wear it either way. Using Sulky Poly Deco Thread is recommended on the pattern, and we couldn’t agree with that choice more! The Fifth Avenue Fanny Pack is currently a free pattern (with video!) on the Sallie Tomato site. It can be made from almost any type of fabric, which means it is stash raiding…
