During Utah Quilt Guild's Quilt Fest, I was able to do some sewing for me! I signed up for some sewing classes that looked like fun and treated myself to a day of me-time! 

One of the classes I signed up for is called Tsunami. It is a cool quilt pattern made by Deonn Stott, and she was our teacher!

How to Make a Notebook Cover - Back to School Sewing Tutorial
We have been getting ready for school and have been doing some Back to School sewing. My daughter asked for a notebook cover. It is such a great way to turn a boring notebook into something original. (This will also work for textbooks and any other books.)

Scruchee, scrungee, scrunchie....
