What others are saying about sewing the patterns:

Meet the Katie Book Sleeve + Rae Pencil Case

The Katie Book Sleeve is perfect for transporting your books wherever you want to take them, without worrying about the pages or cover getting dented up in the process. The pattern features two sizes with optional closures, including a flap, tabs, and an elastic button loop. The pattern includes a resizing guide to make a custom sleeve for your favorite tech.

The Rae Pencil Case is small in size but large in impact. The pattern includes a full video so you can sew right along with me! Ideal for sorting supplies like pencils and pens, with a variety of cover styles, this sweet case is perfect to keep all your writing utensils at your fingertips. See page 4 for 3 fabric variations and their supply requirements.

During the sew along I’ll be sending you weekly emails with tips, tutorials, and ideas to modify the case to make it customized to fit your needs.

I’ll also be giving away prizes during the sew along, so make sure to share your progress!

I can’t wait to sew along with you!
