Tip Tuesday : New Years Edition

New year, fresh calendar — not a fresh set of expectations.

This month’s Tip Tuesday is all about low-pressure sewing resolutions that actually feel doable.

  • Use what’s already in your stash

  • Make progress on WIPs (even small progress counts)

  • Try something new with support

  • Choose quick projects to get back to the sewing table

No rules. No guilt. Just making, at your pace.

Scroll down for a few ideas to help you ease back into sewing this season

Maker Spotlight - December 30, 2025 - Donna's Two Totes Bag pattern ByAnnie with Quilting Elissa's Bella Quilt Coat Expansion Kit Pieces

 

Donna made this bag using the Two Big Totes pattern from ByAnnie.

This is a great example of how a small design choice can make a big difference. Donna added a Flying Geese accent using the Bella Quilt Coat add-on, creating a strong focal detail across the front pocket.

The bold prints, crisp Flying Geese, and bright straps come together beautifully, resulting in a bag that’s practical, well-structured, and thoughtfully made.

If you’ve been considering Two Big Totes and wondering how to personalize it, this is a great example of how an add-on can elevate the finished project.

Beautiful work, Donna
