Make your outside tote and then make your vinyl red vinyl tote 2 inches bigger so you can fold it over the top edge and buy 1 quarter yard bigger colored vinyl so you can cut the piece to fold into two straps.

Meeting all the little grandchildren at the Beach
What better than a Video Jam with all of us, so simple instruments everyone can use for your music and if you have someone that plays the guitar for background you are in like Flint.




Fill the bag with simple instruments... maybe an old darning egg with some empty spools attached - I will make one and attach different things for different sounds

and other small instruments anyone can make a beat or sound to the guitar players song

Here is the assembly in this bag


This is a mini Kalimba

or you could use a mbira drum with a small hammer tool

Or just make your own instruments from some kitchen objects that you can fit in your bag.... fun for the kids to recognize and make sounds

Making a Room Divider with Fabric and Cardboard

 Making Things that are Easy and Quick Everything I do is not always sewing as you could see from my Polar Fleece edging blog.  Now I am sewing today, but I am planning a room divider.  I really don't lift heavy things, but I have a doorway that is just a hole to under the stairs where I store things.  I want to put a room divider there. A.  I can't find anything I like. B.  They are probably heavy. So  I am going to put random pieces of cardboard together to the size I want and then cover it with Library fabric that looks like books on shelves.  This has been something I have been searching for and have not been able to find for a month or two.  So I decided to make one.

  More Intermediate sewing on  https://www.sewmorewithkitty.com This is the method where you slip the fringe through the top of itself.  THIS IS NOT QUICK!. Easy you can do while watching a movie.   I used this template purchased at GSTREETFABRICS   where I work a few days a week.  One piece of patterned fleece one piece of solid fleece the same size and a rotary cutter and this template.  You also need a self-healing matt so you don't cut through to your table or bedspread etc.  You can see here I have a folded cardboard tabletop with a self-healing mat and then the two fabrics I am cutting. First lay your two fabrics on top of each other and make sure they are cut to the same size. Second cut out a five inch square corner on all for corners Cut out the corners out in this case 5 " Cut the Strips  1 1/2 wide or 3 slots in Fringe cutter 5" in Poke a hole with your Seam ripper slightly elongated to allow to pull the corner through.
