✨LoFi Linen, hi-fi joy! 💗

🐰These little Rabbeats, playful low-volume prints, and pops of neon pink have officially stolen my heart. @iamrashidacolemanhale and @rubystarsociety certainly know how to keep the beat alive!🎶

🌟I knew the moment these mini charm packs arrived that I had to turn this playful new linen collection into a Happy Squares Tote. I added plenty of neon pink, a roomier 5-inch finished base, and a recessed zipper to make it completely my own.🪡

🙌🏼💞She is officially my new Bible study bag—and she’ll be lighting up Community Group this fall! ✨

✂️Here’s the full maker’s roll call:

• Pattern: Happy Squares Tote “Mama Size” by @squarestories_slowmade

• Featured fabric: LoFi Linen by @iamrashidacolemanhale for @rubystarsociety. Mini charm packs purchased from Meg at @monogramsformakers

• Added fabrics: Mochi Linen by @modafabrics and Petit Pan in Neon Pink, both purchased from Maggie at @joyintheseam @maggielamphear

I also pulled Starry in Citron by @alexiamarcelleabegg for RSS and Primavera by @riflepaperco from my stash for the lining and finishing details!

• Handles: 1½-inch Bold Stripe Webbing in Neon Pink from Kaitlyn at @knotandthread

• Zippers: “I Lilac You” silver nylon-coil for the recessed closure and “Neon Pink Nostalgia” silver nylon-coil for the interior pocket, both finished with Flower Pulls from @zippervalley

• Structure: ByAnnie’s Soft and Stable on the entire exterior, including the base, and Pellon SF101 Shape-Flex on every lining piece and the recessed-zipper panels

• Neon Quilting: Coats & Clark 40-weight machine-embroidery thread in fluorescent pink.

• Bag Label: Custom 1″ × 2″ cork bag label from @allthiswood.llc

• Fun Extras: 🤍Exterior white snap-hook ring, interior swivel clasp for my keys, and a neon-yellow Delfonics Mini Utility Pouch Keychain brought home from Japan as a gift from Kelly at @kellybangscreative 😎💞

Low-volume fabric, high-volume happiness. 💗✨SQUEEEEE!🙌🏼💞☺️🎉

🌿 A little botanical beauty I just finished!

There’s something so satisfying about watching a fabric collection pull an entire project together. I fell in love with this Alice Purse the moment I paired the warm saddle brown striped webbing with the botanical fabrics and antique bronze hardware. Every little detail just seemed to find its perfect place.

🤎 The Alice purse @sotakhandmade is thoughtfully designed for everyday adventures, I love that it can be carried by the handles or worn crossbody with the removable strap. And I have to admit, the warm terracotta webbing and cheerful coordinating lining might be my favorite details. 🪴

🌿What’s your favorite detail?🪴

✂️Bag deets for my fellow makers:
✨ Pattern: Alice Purse by Svetlana @sotakhandmade (Finished size: 10.5”W × 10.5”H × 3.5”D)
🌿 Fabric: Calathea (Seaweed colorway) by @kmelkight for @rubystarsociety
🤎 Webbing: Saddle Brown Stripe from @knotandthread
🪡 Linen: Robert Kaufman Essex Linen
✨ Hardware: Antique Bronze

🥪Do you remember your favorite lunch box as a kid? Mine definitely wasn’t insulated and somehow we all survived! 😂🥪🧃

🎉This is grown up Lisa’s lunch box… A little Monterey nostalgia… with a neon twist. 🦐💗

🍤This shrimp print @petitpan instantly takes me back to the wharf, so it was the perfect excuse to sew up Kaitlyns newest pattern “Lunch Box Delight!” 🥪🧃🍎🥕@knotandthread

🦐 Exterior: Petit Pan shrimp print
🧡 Lining: Neon Sherbet orange LuxLite (makes wiping out the inside a breeze!)
💗 Neon pink #5 zipper tape & 1” webbing from Gabbi @wondergroundfabrics 😎

🌟I’m all in with @loandbeholdstitchery ‘s annual #ScrapBash2026 🎉💞

✂️I chose the Log Cabin Block, in a Large Throw size, so it’s 81 blocks of happy scraps, whimsical sewing, and watching my scrappy quilt grow one block at a time. 🪡
🩷 I love that each block is a mini make on its own. Most of my scraps come from bags, totes, and pouches that I’ve sewn over the years, so each one holds a little memory. I’m fussy cutting a favorite print for the “heart” of every Log Cabin Block, making each one a tiny snapshot of my sewing journey.
👆🏼Swipe to see a few test Blocks!👀

🙌🏼🎉 Looking forward to sewing along with everyone!💗

👉🏼 If you havent signed up yet, theres plenty of time!! We’ll be sewing together for the next 7 weeks!
June 25th - August 13th 💝🎉🎉🎉

💞😎🌴Pattern testing the new NESTY for Laura at @sweetcinnamonroses - releasing this Friday, May 29th! #nesty 🎉

✂️I went with the whole cloth version using Poolside Too “Shades in Cotton Candy” 🍬 for the exterior and Poolside Too “Palms in Tropic” 🌴for the lining by @rubystarsociety because those retro summer vibes were too good to resist. 🙌🏼🎉
🥭 Finished it off with the Papaya Punch zipper from @stitchsupplyco for the perfect summery pop.🧡🩷💚

📐Using Laura’s custom NESTY formula, included in the pattern, I easily created a custom fit case for my laptop!💻

🔜 Stay tuned this Friday for NESTY — a customizable quilted sleeve pattern designed for laptops, tablets, Kindles, phones, and more. Keep your technology soft, padded, protected, and completely customizable this summer.👙⛱️🍉💻

🩶 Day 8/21 Shepherds
There are people God has placed in our lives who carry the quiet weight of caring for others.🐑

They show up.
They guide.
They notice what others might miss.
They offer wisdom.
They pray.
They laugh.
They cry.
They shine.

Not perfectly… but faithfully.
And I’m reminded today—
a shepherd’s heart isn’t always about a title.
Sometimes it’s simply the way we care for one another, right where we are.

🌾Lord, thank You for those who lead with humility and love.
Strengthen them. Cover them. Fill them with deep joy as they serve.

And Father continue to gently show me, where I’m being invited to care more, to notice more, and to love with intention.
-1 Peter 5:2–3 🙏🏻
