Cute Patriotic items to make from Makoodle
Plan to stay here for awhile. Lots and lots of ideas !

I seem to be stuck at Martha's. She has some cute patriotic printables.

All You easy Patriotic Crafts

This Sewing machine mat is clever and easy to make. I don't know about you but when I
get engrossed in sewing, things get tossed around then when I need them I can't find them. What a great way to keep
organized. Find this tutorial at Katies' Quilting Corner.

Half Moon Modern fabric task basket. Very cute!

I'm trying to remember(without any luck) if I've already showed you
this pillow. Even so there are tons of other tutorials .
Cluck, Cluck Sew Scrap Buster Fall Pillow.

If you are a quilter there is a good chance you also love stitchery.
Here is a free pdf download made available through Public Collectors

This bag is so cute!!  Another Pat has the tutorial.
Great to use for shopping or as a gift bag.

I really like this idea from Martha Stewart. No more pin pricks?

And another handy idea from Martha

Realized I needed a new tote to pack things for the boat.
So last night I whipped this up.
This was a free patternn from Bijou Lovely Designs.
I added pockets cause I love pockets!  Maybe it's weird but  I won't buy a pair of pants
if they don't have pockets.  LOL!

Hope your holiday is safe and enjoyable. My fingers are crossed for good weather for everyone.
