Lovely — that helps a lot. Here’s a blog-ready summary/review you can paste straight in. I’ve written it in a warm, reflective tone that suits your sewing & quilting blog style 🌸
If you want it tweaked (shorter, more tutorial-like, or more personal), I can adjust it easily.
Patchwork, Scrap Fabrics & Crocheted Pouches
This video is a relaxed and inspiring live recording of project work completed in January 2026, focusing on making the most of scrap materials through patchwork, quilting preparation, and crochet.
The first part of the video shows scrap fabrics being pieced together to form patchwork blocks. These blocks are carefully assembled with future quilting projects in mind, demonstrating how even the smallest leftover pieces can be transformed into something useful and beautiful. It’s a wonderful reminder that scraps don’t need to be wasted — with a little planning and creativity, they can become the foundation for quilts later on.
The video then moves on to crocheted pouches, which are neatly stitched along the sides using a sewing machine. This combination of crochet and machine sewing is especially interesting, as it highlights how different crafts can be brought together to create sturdy, practical items. The finished pouches show how handmade work can be both decorative and functional.
Overall, this live recording has a calm, work-along feel and offers plenty of inspiration for anyone who enjoys patchwork, quilting preparation, scrap-busting, and mixed-craft projects. It’s a great watch for sewists and crafters who like to see real projects in progress and appreciate creative ways to use what they already have on hand.

These handmade crochet pouches are such a joy to create and are wonderfully practical too. They’re perfect for keeping little essentials tidy — whether it’s sewing notions, crochet hooks, makeup, coins, or small keepsakes. I love how each pouch turns out slightly different, especially when playing with colour combinations and textures. That’s part of the charm of handmade pieces.
Crochet pouches also make thoughtful gifts and are a lovely way to use up leftover yarn from other projects. They’re quick to make, relaxing to work on, and very satisfying to finish. I hope this project inspires you to pick up your hook and create something both useful and beautiful — handmade items really do add a special touch to everyday life.

"Little pouches sew 'kindness'" refers to making small fabric bags, often from scraps, to fill with treats or messages as random acts of kindness, with popular tutorials available for simple snap pouches, zipper pouches (sometimes from dish mats), or folded felt versions, providing a beginner-friendly way to spread cheer or donate to charity. These projects use basic sewing skills and can be made quickly for gifting or to teach children about generosity.

SELF BINDING -
ChatGPT
You said:
Self binding in quilting
ChatGPT said:
Self-binding in quilting (also called “fold-over binding” or “self-mitered binding”) is a technique where the quilt backing is used to create the binding — meaning the backing fabric is cut larger than the quilt top, then folded over to the front to finish the edges.
It’s especially popular for baby quilts, placemats, table runners, and mini-quilts.
Here’s a clear, simple guide:
⭐ What Is Self-Binding?
Instead of sewing a separate binding strip, you extend the backing fabric beyond the quilt top by a few inches. After quilting, you trim the batting, fold the backing over twice, and stitch it down.
This creates a neat, soft binding with mitred corners.
🧵 Why Quilters Love It
Faster than traditional binding
Great for beginners
No need to piece binding strips
Lovely polished look on small projects
Uses less fabric overall
📏 How to Do Self-Binding (Step-by-Step)
1. Prepare your quilt layers
Cut backing 4–6 inches larger than the quilt top on all sides.
Example:
If your quilt top is 40" × 40", cut backing about 48" × 48".
2. Layer and quilt
Make your quilt sandwich (backing → batting → quilt top) and quilt as desired.
3. Trim the batting only
Trim the batting to be flush with the quilt top.
Do not cut the backing.
4. Trim the backing evenly
Trim the backing so that it extends ¾"–1½" all around (depending on your desired binding width).
Most quilters use 1 inch of backing beyond the top.
5. Fold the binding
First fold: fold backing edge to meet the edge of the quilt top.
Second fold: fold again over the top to create the visible binding.
Press to keep it crisp.
6. Miter the corners
At corners:
Fold the first side.
Fold the second side over it.
A natural miter forms — adjust until neat, then clip or pin.
7. Sew down the binding
Top-stitch close to the inner fold using:
straight stitch, or
decorative stitch (great for baby quilts!)
🌸 Tips for Best Results
Works best on small/medium quilts; large quilts may distort.
Choose backing fabric that complements your quilt top — it becomes your frame.
For bulky corners, trim backing slightly before folding.
Use quilting clips instead of pins to avoid shifting.

Quilted Decor Pillow
Quilted Cosmetic, Overnight etc. Bag
Here’s a friendly and cozy blog post draft you could use for “Sewing With Shirley-Ann Pearman” or “Sewing, Quilting etc. By ShirleyAnn Pearman” — it fits beautifully with your warm, handmade style:
I recently finished this lovely quilted fabric bag, and I’m so pleased with how it turned out! It’s just the right size to use as a cosmetic bag, overnight tote, or even for keeping sewing notions together when traveling.
The soft quilted fabric gives it a cozy, padded feel, while the light cream background with coral and gold leaf-like patterns adds a gentle, elegant touch. 🌸
It features:
A zippered top closure to keep everything secure
Two sturdy quilted handles
A neat inside pocket for small essentials
Fully lined with matching fabric for a clean, finished look
I enjoyed making this one — it’s always satisfying when a project combines both practical use and pretty design.
Here are a few photos of how it turned out:
🧵✨
(Insert your three lovely photos here — front, side, and inside views.)
This was a simple but rewarding sewing project that can be made in different sizes or fabrics depending on how you plan to use it. I might try another one soon in a floral print for spring! 🌼
Have you made a quilted bag before? I’d love to hear what fabrics or styles you’ve tried.
Would you like me to adjust this post for your Sewing With Shirley-Ann Pearman blog (lavender–sage–beige tone) or for your Sewing, Quilting etc. blog (rose–mint–cream tone)? I can tailor the wording and style slightly to match your theme.

@shirleyannlp T O T E B A G This tote bag was started and half way through being done several years ago. I came across it this week when doing a bit of housekeeping. It was a bag I put down because of disappointing stitches, the fabric is an artificial leather which requires a heavy duty machine to make better stitches. I tried the best that I could with what I had. This part of the bag is the lining of the pattern, the actual bag portion I think might have been thrown away because it became very sticky with melted velcro on it. So, today I worked with what was left and turned the lining of the inside to be the outer and cut up a old curtain and used it as a plain lining. The original pattern is Kwik Sew Pattern 3249 Bags and Cases Hoping to attempt this bag again soon, but probably not with this type of fabric, unless I have a Heavy Duty Sewing Machine. Although it has stitches looking blundered the pattern is very nice pattern, but because it is designed for Woven Fabrics as Cotton, Cotton types, decorator fabrics, duck cloth, denim, twill. Maybe the artificial leather was too much for the pattern. However, its turned out not too bad and the decorative stitches did not turn out too bad either. All in all there is plenty of room to improve on. You are welcome to join my Fan Club with the Hearts Me. When on Live, I most graciously thank you to receiving the coins too.
