Cindy, I couldn't agree with you more " ...this handy little receipt wallet will do the the trick! -- personal receipts on one side, business receipts on the other. Really it could have many uses --- coupons, lists, checkbook cover, etc!"
For a complete rundown on how to make this great project head on over to Skip to my Lou. Then head over to our Etsy shop and pick up two Fat Quarters and get sewing!

It's been a long time since I added any new oilcloth prints to the shop, way too long! I figure who better to help me than you all, my loyal blog readers. Here is what I am thinking, the shop needs some more floral and fruit prints and maybe a strip or two. Take a look and let me know what you like...
I have been wanting to carry one of the mum prints for some time now, which color do you like best?
Since spring and summer are coming, I want some more fruity patterns. Which print do you like best? Well talk color later!
- fruit basket
- modern apples
- classic oilcloth apples
- oranges
- teapots and fruit
- doilies and fruit
I have wanted to get some strips in the shop as well, I want all of these! Which blue is better, light or dark?
Thanks for your help. I want to order soon so leave me a comment today!

Oilcloth Sewing Tips #7: Stitch Length
When sewing with oilcloth I find it very helpful to use a longer stitch length, this helps because the oilcloth has a tendency to get sticky under the pressure foot. Normally, a stitch length of 2 is best, but for oilcloth you will want to up your setting to a 3-4 stitch length. When you combine this trick with the use of a speciality presser foot or tricked out presser foot you should have great success creating a fun oilcloth project! Happy sewing!!!

Valentine Garland Tutorial for Oilcloth Addict
Winter blues got ya down? Sometimes spring feels like it will never come, so the kids and I whipped up a fun and easy Valentine banner to cheer up the place! We hope you like it as much as we do!
Stuff ya gotta have:
- 4 Fat Quarters of Oilcloth
- Heart Pattern (below)
- Scissors
- Ric Rac
Trace and cut pattern
Pin to hearts together, alternating prints.
Pins can leave holes but you can rub them out with your fingernail.
Stack O'Hearts
Leave a 15" tie and mark with pin.
Sandwich the ric rac between the two layers of and sew a line across the fattest part of the heart.
Use a seam gauge to measure a two inch space between hearts.
I am excited about festive Valentine banner to brighten up the house!
