Today I’m sharing some Made By Marzipan posts that have been popular on Pinterest. Check out these favorite tutorials!

This Tubside Mat is sewn from a shower curtain, so it’s water resistant! Suction cups hold it in place, while pockets organize bath supplies. A padded knee cushion makes bathing kids and pets so much easier.

The Anywhere Chair is a harness that straps around a kitchen chair to secure baby while feeding. Although the baby needs to be closely supervised and kept within arm’s reach, it can be very helpful while visiting relatives. It rolls up to fit in the diaper bag, so there’s no need to pack the high chair!

I loved my nursing pillow when my kids were little… but it wasn’t cheap! This is a free printable pattern to sew both the pillow form and slipcovers. The Poppy Pillow slipcover is designed to fit brand-name Boppy pillows as well.

Zippers don’t have to be a mystery! This post on Zipper Tips & Tricks will simplify the process.

An All-In-One Changing Mat is the grab-and-go solution for a quick change. This mat has hanging pockets that hold wipes and diapers, and folds up into a handy clutch.

If you’d like to see what I’m pinning, feel free to follow my boards on Pinterest!

At the bottom of every tutorial, there’s a “Made By You” section where you can upload your project pics. I love to see how creative and original your projects are! I’m showcasing some of the best “Made By You” projects. Today’s theme: Baby Love.

One of the more popular posts is the All-In-One Changing Mat. I love the chevron fabric that Roxy chose… wouldn’t it work well for either a boy or a girl?

Meghann chose a gorgeous floral for hers. It’s a good reminder that baby items don’t always have to be cute… they can be sophisticated!

Eliza sewed up a Walk In The Park Stroller Bag… note the elasticized side pocket, perfect for holding a bottle!

Beth made one too; I think I spy an All-In-One Changing Mat in there as well!

A Poppy Pillow Slipcover is quick & easy to sew. Nicki made this nursing pillow cover for a friend…

And Samantha got creative with a fleece Star Trek print!

I am super excited to announce my newest partnership, with Strathmore Arts!  This year I will be teaching an online Hand Lettering Workshop, with free video tutorials, as well as printable guides and worksheets. I’ll be covering both drawn lettering as well as traditional dip pen calligraphy!

These will be detailed, pre-recorded classes. Plus, they’re offering several other art education workshops by professional artists! Did I mention… it’s FREE? To register, visit Strathmore’s website.

Strathmore produces high-quality, artist grade papers, including super-smooth Bristol, which is my favorite for hand lettering. I think it’s awesome that they are committed to educating aspiring artists! Here’s the full schedule for 2015:

Oh, and the instructors will be available to personally answer your questions! I hope you’ll join us and learn something new!
