Leg Warmers from a sweater

Remember leg warmers?

Way, way back in the last centrury, we girls used to wear them for exercise, to keep warm, or just to pretend we were sporty.

This super-simple tutorial shows you how to make your own from an old sweater.

Hey presto, you're back in the 80's!

Fat Quarter Handbag

Isn't this the smartest handbag you've seen all year?

And made using only a fat quarter in a fabric you love, some plain fabric to line it and a pair of handles and interfacing (for stiffness).

There are so many gorgeous quilting fabrics to choose from, you won't be able to stop at one!
