Relaxing Neck Pillow Tutorial

How amazingly comforable do these pillows look,...I HAVE TO MAKE ONE!! I actually think I'll have to make a few, a couple for the bed, the living room in front of the tv, and I think they'd be super for travelling. Needless to say these would make fabulous Christmas presents. They're quick to make and who wouldn't LOVE to get one of these in their Christmas stocking! The tutorial can be found at Sew4Home and there is even a pattern that you can print out, so it couldn't be easier!

Eco-Friendly Cloth Diaper Tutorial & Pattern

With my first baby I got suckered into the ease of using disposable diapers, but each time I'd throw a used one in the trash I'd have pangs of guilt. With baby number two just arriving recently I'm having second thoughts and am considering cloth diapers. The fitted cloth diapers in the stores are REALLY expensive so I went on a hunt for a good pattern to make some myself. This tutorial can be found at Omi Creates, and the pattern is courtesy of Ottobre Design. Naomi, from Omi Creates has adjusted the pattern a little, so it seems like it should be a winner! And what's even better, the pattern is available to download and print at home.

Sewing Machine Cover Tutorial

When I bought my Pfaff sewing machine last year it came with a very sterile looking, cream colored, hard plastic cover. Don't get me wrong, it keeps the dust out, and also my daughters prying fingers, but it's a bit blaaah looking. So I think I might have a go at making one of these cute fabric sewing machine covers that I found a tutorial for at Spool. I've seen a lot of covers with open sides, but I'd much prefer to keep it well and truly covered like the ones below, and how cute do they look! Just click on the link under "Free Patterns" on the right hand side of their page, you'll be so glad you had a go at this project!
