We've been meaning to create a zippered cushion cover tutorial for some time now. We have had so many requests for it and this zippered cushion is super easy to make. Even if you have never inserted a zip before, you should be able to do this. The cushion cover shown in the video is for an 18' cushion insert. See the chart below for fabric and zip requirements for other sized cushion inserts. You can make these cushion covers with a matching front and back, a contrasting back and directional print. You can even fussy cut to get the

How to Make a Couch Slipcover (Part 1): This is a long ordeal but anyone with a little sewing knowledge can tackle this project!
It's so encouraging to read comments, and receive emails, from all of you! Having that feedback inspires me more than you realise. I thought today you might like to see some things from other craft people that inspire me!? ~~~~~ Let's begin with Jessica from Twin Fibers. She took a plain Wonky Star block and dazzled it!! I literally drooled when I saw this on the blog she shares with her friend, Jennifer. Because I make myself at least one thing just for pleasure each month, I have this near the top of the list. Jessica made hers a mini quilt, and I'm thinking I may do the same. GAWJUS!! See more pics, a step by step tutorial, and Jessica's blog post HERE. ~~~~~ Another pretty thing I'd like to make is one of these, from The Haby Goddess... I have PLENTY of old doilies, but have never thought to dye them! Visit The Haby Goddess HERE and see her step by step tutorial. (Just remembered I have a few fabric dyes packed away....mmmm....) ~~~~~ About four years ago Blossom learned to crochet, and she made me lots of teeny tiny crocheted granny squares and circles in vibrant yellows, blues and reds. I did use some as a 'window' in small soap sachets for the linen cupboard and for Lavender bags, but I never thought to use them as pin cushions like Namolio! Aren't they gorgeous!? You'll find plenty more in her Etsy Shop HERE. ~~~~~ It's been a while since I did some straight piecing. I get so caught up in stitchery designing that I lose time for some basic quilting - until now. I saw this quilt on the Blue Elephant Stitches blog... ...and noticed she had a tutorial too, so guess what is on my list as well?? I just love quilt blocks surrounded by white. You can see her tutorial HERE. ~~~~~ I have been playing with something new myself today. I love affirmations and inspirations, especially the one word kind, so thought I'd draw up some words and stitch them onto sweet little lavender scented pillows... I dug out some of my vintage buttons for a little bit of embellishment. They'll look really cute in a basket, I think. ~~~~~ Finally I want to announce the winner of the "Someday Roses" challenge! I shared this design with you earlier in the month... Apparently the pattern has been downloaded almost 700 times in the last three weeks, but only one lovely lady has sent me a photo of it on a re-purposed project, so guess who wins this book? SISBABESTITCHES used fabrics from an old shirt, skirt and other scraps to stitch 'Someday Roses' into and apron! Before... After! Congratulations SisBabeStitches! I'll be contacting you for your address and this book will be winging its way to your door. ~~~~~ I'm wondering if you need an easier Re-Purposing challenge for March? Do you have some ideas? If so please leave a comment and I'll see which one grabs my fancy. I want to mention the new Blogger 'double word' verification on comments. I hate it. Time consuming, hard on the eyes, and a nuisance for everyone. What was wrong with the single word, Blogger?? I opted for no verification to make life easier for you, but ended up making life harder for me. Hackers were leaving rude links and ads on comments as far back as 2009 - and in two days I spent a good couple of hours working my way through them and deleting them. Not nice. So I have the word verification back on. Sorry, but it just has to be. ~~~~~ Before I go let me share with you pics of my final birthday gifties from dear friends. My besty, Fee, spoiled me by printing up the first 8 issues of my Elefantz HOME Magazine (cause she knew I couldn't afford the ink), and sending me other beautiful goodies!! Michelle sent me a sweet parcel of elephant fabrics, and 'real' Shabby Chic stationary all the way from the US...I haven't stopped writing myself notes in that book since it arrived! Kathleen (Cottonreel) sent me these lovelies all the way from the UK, with a picture of her garden in May. I often dream of visiting her and Bluebell one day. And my final gift was from my dear friend, Dawn! It arrived in a huge box and I had no idea what on earth she would be sending me that big. It's a white elephant!! I have white floors and white walls so I had to put it up against the fence for the photo. This is so me! Dawn also sent another parcel the day before. That one had two of my quilt tops which she had machine quilted for me, and they are GAWJUS! I'll show some pics once I've sewn on the bindings. If you're in Australia and need a quilt top machine-quilted then visit Dawn's blog for details. She's wonderful! Thank you to all my friends - you made this a very special birthday indeed! ~~~~~ Goodness, I should have told you to make a cuppa before you started reading this blog post. It kind of got longer and longer...maybe we all need a coffee now. ;-) Have a wonderful March. First day of autumn!!! \o/\o/\o/ (excited? Who, me?) Hugs Jenny xxx
I'm kinda picky when it comes to pillow covers and their openings. Envelope style openings are not my favorite. They're great for when you don't have a zipper or when you want to keep your cost down, but I don't' like how they can bulge out...they don't keep the pillow's shape very well. Buttons are OK and can add a pretty detail to the pillow, but they just don't work in my house with all the hoodlums laying around. I prefer a stuffed pillow where I can throw the whole thing in the wash or a zippered cover. I used to sew my zippers on the side seam. Recently, I came up with a new way to add my zippers. I think it looks much nicer AND I've created a tutorial just for you! Zippered 14" Pillow Cover Tutorial Supplies Fabric 15" x 33.5" Ruler Rotary Cutter & Mat or Scissors Sewing Machine Zipper Foot Coordinating Thread 12" zipper (or longer) Cut fabric for front 15" x 15" Cut fabric for back 6.5" x 15" and 12" x 15" Center zipper on long edge of 6.5" fabric line up right side of zipper to right side of fabric and sew in place using a zipper foot. Fold fabric back, wrong sides together, leaving a "flap" over right side of zipper and leaving about a 1/4" edge past the other side of the zipper, as shown with the purple arrow in the picture above. Pin in place and sew along previous stitch line. Don't stress about the size of the flap..as long as it covers the zipper and you think it looks good, then it's fine. Fold "flap" over and pin in place exposing zipper. Sew other side of zipper to the 12" x 15" piece of fabric, right sides together. To give you a perspective..the pin indicated by the left arrow is holding the "flap" down. Be sure to line up your fabric edge with your zipper edge (as indicated by the other arrow) and be sure that the edges your 6.5" piece of fabric lines up with the edges your 12" piece of fabric. When you are finished, you should have a rectangle with a zipper in the middle. Trim excess fabric off the end of the 12" piece so that your pillow cover backing is 15" square....you may ask..."why do I need to trim my fabric? why didn't we cut it right the first time"?..I like to err on the side of caution... it allows me some wiggle room when fiddling with the zipper flap. Pin cover backing to cover front. Sew using a 1/2" sew allowance. Finish edges and trim corners. Be sure to leave the zipper OPEN before you sew your cover shut as indicated in the picture above. The zipper allows you to turn your cover right side out after you sew all four sides shut. Your Done!

Peças em crochê sempre possuem um toque afetuoso, mas abusar dele na decoração é arriscado. Na lista abaixo, selecionamos boas ideias com a técnica – tudo com a elegância na medida
I have been crocheting for some years now, and since I don’t have the heart to throw away even the smallest leftovers, I have quite a collection of tiny balls of yarn.So my idea was to design…
This past summer I attended a sewing/scrapbooking retreat. One of my favorite things about retreats (other than actually getting 'stuff' done) is discovering new toys and doodads the others bring along. One sewing gal brought along this little pill bottle someone made her as a 'hello' gift at another retreat she attended. She carries it with her along with a little pouch with some hand piecing fabric projects. She said she brought this to jury duty a few weeks prior. All the sudden 'doing my civic duty' doesn't sound so bad. I could not find the pill bottles with the dual tops (one side twist on, the other snaps on), and I had a LOT of drug popping family members and friends I interviewed in hopes of locating these (apparently) rare jewels. I did finally get this little bottle with a small indention via Zee, thanks Zee. I used some left over quilting fabric, and covered it with a scrap of fabric (any cotton would do). I sewed the bottom together with the cotton inside for the pins to push into later. I used super glue, and held it firmly to the top while it dried. I filled it with pins, needles, a small bobbin etc, and now....I'm ready for jury duty. Linking To: Sassy Sites

Installing an invisible zipper into a pillow is one of the easiest sewing skills to learn. Your family will think you’ve lost your mind because you can’t stop making them. Materials: -1 invisible zipper (a few inches shorter than your pillow form/or follow a tutorial to shorten it) -front and back pillow panels (cut...Read More »
Steel frame windows and doors: The aesthetic harkens back to the greenhouses, factories, and warehouses of the 19th century. And their elegant, narrow sigh
Lazy lazy knitting. There’s no buttons, zippers, poppers. Nothing extra. Just a tube seamed up top and bottom. Not very convinient if you wish to wash the covers or change them. But I just figured I wont darn in the ends but leave them inside the pillow and if I ever need to take the covers off, I’ll just unravel the seams!
