Another Sweet Moda Bakeshop Tutorial and CGW KIT

It looks like Kim Walus from Bitty Bits and Pieces (a very cute blog, by the way) has written an AWESOME tutorial to make up some adorable Valentines holders just in time for V-day! Of course this is a tute that's over on Moda Bake Shop and I was looking at the materials and it turns out Crafty Girls Workshop has EVERYTHING you need to create this cute Valentine holder for your kids (or yourself). A month or two ago, we ordered an entire bolt of Peltex and Fusible Fleece, just to get an idea of what this Peltex stuff was. It's a very stiff stabilizer that is rather tricky to work with, mostly if you're using it for lining a bag, but I think it would be perfect for the Valentine holder in the tutorial. So click here for the KIT for this cute tutorial. I hope you'll take a look. We've also listed some GREAT ric rac that we've had for awhile and it would make a great embellishment for this exact project.

Happy Crafting!

Children's Activity Tote KIT is Available!

Since there was a lot of interest in the tutorial, I decided to create a kit of supplies to go with it! Turns out we have all the stuff you need to make it, including the snaps! We'll even be happy to switch out charm packs or Bella Solids if you'd prefer, just let us know in the message to seller at checkout. Thanks Moda Bake Shop and Melissa Ann Stramel from Lilac Lane for this tutorial!

Wouldn't this be a great and fast go-to gift for birthday parties? I love educational gifts like this.

Happy Stitches to You,

Open for Business!

Well, here we are. And who are we? Anna and Regina, two crafty ladies who love to sew and quilt. We decided to try turning our passion for crafting into a mini business. Our online store has officially been open one week today! So far we've listed items we've made with care to brighten up your home. Eventually, we plan to list collections of fabric with a pattern included, called a kit, so that if you feel confident in your sewing skills, you can make your own crafty creation! We want our store to be dynamic so that it will ebb and flow with our customers' needs. That is why we have this blog. We need to know what you need in order to be able to supply it to you. If you need baby items such as blankets, burp cloths, bibs, diaper bags, and baby clothes, we can do that. If you want a quick project to make for a friend, check our store. We are also going to post some great tote bags soon, since it's getting close to beach going weather. I bet that several of you would rather buy a kit with the fabrics already selected so that you can just open it up and start sewing. In fact, I've created a little poll over on the sidebar to the right so that you can let me know exactly that. I am curious to see how many people would prefer a kit over selecting the fabrics on their own or buying premade. Remember, Crafty Girls Workshop is a great option when you want to get a gift for a friend's birthday or shower. So, keep us in mind for all your gift giving needs! More coming soon, so check back tomorrow! Oh, and by the way, if you scroll down to the bottom of the screen, you can see exactly what we have in our store. See something you like? Just click on it to go directly to that item in our store!

Happy Crafting,
The Crafty Girls
