Tutorial Thursday

I realized that I need a little blog buffer in between posting finished projects, so I thought that every Thursday, I would post a cool free tutorial that I’ve found on the internet.

Today’s tutorial is from Bored and Crafty. This is a tutorial to make this super-cool Piano Shoulder Bag. Besides the keys, which are fantastic, I like how the bag has sides and a bottom. The pattern instructions look fairly easy to follow as well. It would be great for your favorite music student to tote around their sheet music, or a just-because bag.

Thanks for reading, and I hope you’ll enjoy checking out some creative tutorials, right here every Thursday. I have also enjoyed adding tutorials I want to make, to my Pinterest (I’d love it if you’d follow me, I’ll follow you right back!!).
