Bionic Gear Bag - Rip Stitcher review

Today I've finished the second Bionic Gear Bag I have ever made. This one is going to be gifted to my mother in law next week for her birthday.

I originally saw these bags on instagram and was a fairly new sewer so at first put it off. Then I decided to challenge myself and purchased the pattern. 85 pages later and my brain was frazzled! On Craftsy it is ranked as a beginner pattern, but the way the pattern is written is not beginner friendly in my opinion.

I couldn't understand past the first few steps then luckily found a fantastic series of YouTube tutorials that saved the day. Other than the cutting out, I just followed the video rather than the pattern.

Anyway, that said, I've made two bags with a third on the machine and I think the finished product is fantastic.

What do you think?

Passport Travel Organiser - Blissful Patterns

We were recently lucky enough to go on holiday and now that there are three of us, I thought it was about time I made us a travel organiser to hold all our bits in, especially for the airport for quick easy access.

I found a fantastic pattern on Etsy by Blissful Patterns and decided it had everything I needed. Passport pockets, pen holder, coin zip and room for cards and boarding passes etc. 

I've got a thing for leopard print fabrics at the moment so I armed myself with some at my local shop and got to work. Im new to sewing and spent all night from about 9 pm through until 2am making it but I'm so pleased with how it came out. 

It was an easy beginner pattern to follow and cut the fabric and I would recommend you check her etsy shop out for more fabulous sewing patterns.

How to make a fur and fleece dog / cat double snuggle sack or sleeping bag or bed

Hey guys

I have uploaded a new YouTube video! This time it is showing you how to make your own doggy snuggle sack / sleeping bag.  The one I make is big enough for my cat and dog to share but you can adjust the measurements I provide to make your own one possibly smaller or bigger as you need.

You can watch my YouTube tutorial by clicking here.

NB: This tutorial is a sewing tutorial.  I had to hand sew as my machine is broken but if you have a machine it will be A LOT quicker!

If you would like me to write a blog post on how I made the dog snuggle sack then please let me know in the comments below :0)



No guys, you are meant to be IN it, not ON it!!
