  Are you ready for the weekend?  Then you need this charming bag.  I made the pouch by sewing thrift store blouses into a patchwork piece of fabric.  Then I used Fairfield Purely Cotton™ 100% natural needlepunched cotton batting sandwiched inside the patchwork fabric and cotton fabric in a marsala color.  I sewed a pouch with a flap, and added a necktie for a shoulder strap.   Next, I made a marsala colored tassel and pinned to the flap of the bag. Here's how: Gather your materials.  You'll need the Large PattieWack Tassel Maker.    Wind yarn on tassel maker...

It's always a good time to think about Holiday Gifts and Events, and here's an idea that any girlie girl will love to give or receive.   I made tons of pompoms, tassels and rosettes with the PattieWack Pompom Tool and the PattieWack Tassel Tool, then I sewed them to this adorable crochet jacket.   The leaves are cut from felt and I added wooden beads to add more texture and interest for an adorable addition to your fave jeans or a little chocolate skirt for any special occasion.   Supplies: Knitted or crochet sweater.  Large upholstery needle Small size Pattiewack™...

All the tools are super fun and easy to use.  For this California Dreamin' market bag, grab your PattieWack™ Mini Tassel Maker and yarn to match your crocheted bag.  Wind yarn around the 4th section of the mini, which will make a 1-1/2" mini tassel.  Tie the top, and bind the neck with a contrasting yarn.  Cut the bottom of the tassel and slide it off the tool.  Make at least 2 more mini tassels and tie them to the handle for a dreamy market bag to take to the beach, farmers market, or anywhere!

It's summer-time, and this girl's really lovin' the boho style that I'm seeing everywhere.  So, I went to Hancock Fabrics and bought several fun prints to make my own blouses and then I just felt like they needed something else.  This one has such great colors, and I thought it would be fun to match up the turquoise, lime, and lemon colors that are super vibrant with cotton embroidery threads. I did fudge a little by starting out with a necklace on the sale kiosk at Nordstrom's Rack.  Then I got busy making tassels in each of the colors.  To...

Make yourself HAPPY by adding mini tassels to one of your favorite necklaces.  It's so easy with the PattieWack™ Mini Tassel Maker.  Choose 3 colors of embroidery floss for three different mini tassels.  Wind the floss around the mini tool on the 4th section to make a 2" tassel.  Tie the top and bind the neck with matching floss.  Cut the bottom of the tassel and slide it off the tool.  Make two more tassels in different colors and tie them to your necklace for a fun fashion to add to your everyday look!
