Star Wars Themed Quilt Cover for a Bench
This quilt cover project has been on my to-do list since 2022! I decided to just bite the bullet and start it last January. I thought I could finish it in two to three weeks, but no, it stretched to almost six weeks. I got busy doing other home projects.
The design is quite simple, but making twelve pieces of 4x4 squares took awhile to make. I also decided to use the QAYG technique since the main quilt cover measures 58" x 44". I basically made a blanket with flaps. I left the flap open since the bench doubles as storage space. It's where I keep things that need to be further sorted (haha).
Here's how I made the quilted cover:
Materials:
fabric with design (I used a Star Wars themed fabric which I got from Spotlight in Singapore)
four solid colors fabric (orange, yellow, blue, green)
black fabric (for sashing and binding)
backing fabric
Design:
Size:
Main Cover - 58" x 44"
Flaps: 20" x 12"

How to Make a Bag Strap
I wanted to start the year with a fun project. I decided to make a bag inspired by a jute bag a friend gave me. I love the shape and size of the bag. I use one daily at home to carry stuff from room to room. While making the bag, I discovered I couldn't find the straps I've collected over the years! I didn't want to waste time looking for the straps, so I decided to just DIY it.
Here's the tutorial:
Luckily, I had all the materials on hand. Here's what you need:
fabric
1.5" interfacing
thread
iron
Here are the steps to make it:
1. Cut fabric, two 3.5" x 16.5" strips2. Fold the fabric in half.
3. Position the interfacing in the middle.
4. Fold in the sides.
5. Sew all the sides.
