Things you’ll need

Outer fabric 33″x 4″ Inner fabric 26″x 4″ Two pieces of interfacing 24″x 2.5″ A small piece for pocket edge

Directions

I used the width of the cap to determine the width of the strap. Then I was careful to cut the interfacing so that it would be the finished size.

The outer fabric was about 6-7″ longer than inner pocket to make the pocket. Other than that, the fabric needs long enough to cover the strap and then add seam allowance to widths and lengths.

For the Pocket: I folded up one side of the outer fabric to make the pocket. Now the outer fabric is the same length as the inner fabric. Ironed the pocket. At this point, you can leave the pocket like that, edge stitch, or add a trim.

For the rest of the strap: I sewed long sides, ironed on interfacing pieces, lining up with middle seam.

Fold in short raw edges and topstitch. Fold long edges along interfacing. Fold whole thing in half lengthwise. Topstitch along long edge to close tube. Topstitch other side to match. Yes, I made two different covers.

This is the only breakfast wrap recipe you’ll ever need. It’s quick, filling, and delicious. Also great when you’re trying to make healthier decisions  with your food choices. Serves 4 Ingredients 5 kale leaves 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 1 1/4 cups grape tomatoes, halved 1 large shallot, chopped 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped 1/4 teaspoon crushed red…

Kylie Cosmetics: Koko Collection Review and Swatches

So I finally gave into trying out some products from Kylie Cosmetics. Oh my word, I was instantly hooked. I’ve tried a lot of different brands of liquid lipsticks and they would either start to flake or would really dry out my lips. So I was extremely happy when all the Kylie Cosmetics liquid lipsticks lived up to the hype. When you put on one of these Kylie liquid lipsticks on, they dry quickly,…

Mini Raspberry Ricotta Cakes

I love this raspberry ricotta cake. Especially when you top it with some french vanilla ice cream. Really, you could share each mini cake with two people. But let’s get real, if you’re a dessert lover like I am. You’re not gonna want to share this with another person. Serves 6 Ingredients 1½ cups all purpose flour 1 cup sugar 1 tablespoon baking powder 1 teaspoon french grey sea salt 3  eggs 1½…

Eggs Benedict With A Twist

Eggs benedict is one of my favorite things to make for breakfast. So when I wasn’t eating meat a couple of years ago I had to nix the canadian bacon and find a substitution, which for me became browned portabello mushrooms. Since then I’ve gone back to eating meat but couldn’t go back to the canadian bacon. Now I look forward to making eggs benedict and just changing it up a bit. Which brings me…
