- Tabletop Tips: When life gives you tablecloths, make napkins. It's one of the easiest projects around. Try this simple pattern. If you want to take it up a notch, get fancy with mitered corners. And placemats are just as easy. Check out this great video from Threadbanger.com.
- The Clutch: Here's a quick clutch purse primer to get you started. To go reversible, adapt by using a contrasting fabric and finishing edges neatly. If you want to go beyond the basics, here's a cute pouch clutch.
- Pillow Talk: I can't imagine a prettier throw pillow than one made from a gorgeous vintage linen. Here's a very simple how-to pattern. And for more options, check out this pillow-making video series. For a super quick fix, cut out a square of linen slightly larger (half-inch) than the pillow. Stitch the linen to the pillow face, turning under the hem as you sew.
