Notes on Purl Soho Cross-back Apron pattern

Purl Soho Cross-back Apron, regular sized,  front view Purl Soho Cross-back Apron, regular sized,   back view by Linda Theil This is the Purl Soho Cross-back Apron featured on their website at  https://www.purlsoho.com/create/2015/11/20/cross-back-apron . Their page includes complete directions for making this one-size-fits-most apron with large, side-pockets and cross-back straps. This retro apron is so nicely made and looks so much like the apron my grandma wore in the Nineteen-fifties that I had to make one for my friend who appreciates the nostalgia and the beauty of this design. Although this apron pattern, as published, can adjust to several sizes from 2-10; I also made a larger option, adjusting the width of the pattern pieces to accommodate up to size 16 and up. Size adjustment may also be made by varying the length of the straps. These notes are a record of my experience with the pattern, and should only be viewed as...

Notebook cover from Arabesque

by Linda Theil I just finished making the "Crafted Life Companion" notebook-cover designed by Australian Ali Phillips of Arabesque Scissors . I've made several of Phillips' patterns and have come to experience Phillips as creating at the same stratospheric level as English designer Diane Spencer Ogg for brilliant design innovation and attention to minute specificity in their patterns. Both creators are also highly professional and skilled presenters in their step-by-step demonstration videos for every design. Please see Phillips' video at the end of this post. The Arabesque notebook cover is designed to fit an A5 notebook size, and includes a sleeve for notepads up to 4 x 8-inches. Other pocket options are included in the pattern -- most of which I left out in my first version. I did take advantage of a marvelously useful innovation Phillips provided: a beautifully designed "coloring page" that helped enormously to keep all my pattern pieces organized....

Free gift bag pattern from Spencer-Ogg

by Linda Theil This quick-as-a-wink "DIY Gift and Goody Bag" pattern is available at no charge on the Spencer-Ogg website ; and a video tutorial can be viewed on the Spencer-Ogg YouTube channel . This pattern generated so much enthusiasm among Spencer-Ogg afficionados this holiday season that Diane Spencer-Ogg released a  "MORE sizes for the DIY Gift and Goody Bag"  auxiliary pattern with an extra-small, and a large addition to the  small and medium sizes available in the initial release. This raw-edge design can be made in a wide variety of materials. My sample shown above is the size small, measuring about three-inches-square when finished. The material I used is from a Cricut brand sampler of pebbled, faux leather that is made from polyurethane. I pulled this product from a stashed package that may no longer be available in this format or design. Be aware that your material will need to be cut almost three times the width of your finished project. In other words,...
