Nel mondo del fai-da-te vernici e coloranti sono una componente fondamentale: li usiamo per lavoretti di ogni tipo, anche quelli che possono realizzare i bambini, per tingere tessuti, per i prodotti di cosmesi artigianali e non solo. E spesso l’alternativa sicura sono i coloranti alimentari, quelli che troviamo in polvere o gel pensati per tingere i cibi di tante sfumature diverse. Eppure già solo in cucina potremmo avere un arsenale di materiali da trasformare in coloranti naturali: si possono infatti usare spezie, verdura, fiori ed erbe, proprio come si faceva in passato. Non solo si tratta di procedimenti antichi e pieni di fascino, ma soprattutto sono alternative sicure e prive di sostanze tossiche potenzialmente dannose, quindi adatte a ogni tipo di utilizzo, soprattutto quando anche i bambini sono coinvolti nel procedimento. Scoprite allora da quali ingredienti estrarre i vari colori, e in che modo riuscirci. Tenete in conto che in ogni caso difficilmente potrete ottenere tinte coprenti e sature come quelle industriali: i colori che si ottengono sono più tenui, più simili ad acquerelli che non tempere, per capirci, ma comunque davvero bellissimi.

Starting with vintage photography and illustrations of models sporting fashions from the 1950s, Amsterdam-based artist Hinke Schreuders applies a rich layer of hand-stitched embroidery, beading, lace, and flourishes of ink to entirely new images that can be both unsettling and exuberant. The pieces seen here are part of an ongoing series called Works on Paper, started in 2008. With her work Schreuders says she seeks to “subtly confuse notions of feminine vulnerability and reinforce the position of embroidery as an artistic medium,” something I think we can all agree she has done masterfully.

While suffering disappointment earlier today at my favorite craft store--they were out of the yarn I wanted--I meandered over to the pattern books and
Today, we're working on the hand crochet braid. The yarns used in the braid were provided by Linton Tweeds and make the perfect partner. The yarns pictured below were used to weave the fabric. I found it easiest to make up a sample piece first to test various patterns. This way you can decide which braid will complement your jacket best. A book called "around the corner Crochet Borders" by Edie Eckman came in very handy. It contains endless border patterns and it shows how to do the corners and many other things you need to know. First, work a chain stitch all around the jacket edge. Then start to crochet your pattern to the chain stitches, following the pattern instructions in the book. Read the instructions for the corners carefully and make sure both side on the jacket fronts look identical. Add a row of chain stitch to the sleeve opening. Follow the instructions and complete the opening with your crochet broder making sure the braid lies flat around the corner. Neaten off the yarns at the back of the braid and press carefully. Not sure how go about this braid? I conduct regular sewing classes and workshops where you are taught all the required techniques to complete your very own master piece. Please contact me by email [email protected] or phone 07 3300 3470. I'd love to hear from you!!

No es gaire el que he pogut adelantar del calaix d'impremta. No he podido adelantar mucho del cajón de imprenta. El llacet està brodat amb el fil de lli i haig de dir que a mi m'agrada com queda. Li dona un toc rústic. El lacito está bordado con el hilo de lino y tengo que decir que a mí me gusta como queda. Le da un toque rústico. I això és una de les coses que m'ha tingut entretinguda aquests dies. Y esto es una de las cosas que me ha tenido entretenida estos días. És el Meshwork. Una tècnica que consisteix a entrecreuar biaixos per formar diferents motius. Resulta molt entretinguda i quan li agafes el truc és molt addictiva. Es el Meshwork.

I have been stitching on my circles travellers blanket- the weather has been right ,cold wet and miserable, so what better to work on and keep you warm at the same time? I want to finish this blanket- it has been on the go since last year and I feel I need to finish it before I can start on my French inspired travellers blanket. I tend to not have too many projects on the go at one time, though I need to seriously get working and creating. I like how the little silk sari circles change shape as you stitch- initially I as fussing about trying to make them perfectly circular- but who said that they needed to be? So i just sewed whatever shape they decided to be - maybe it's the former wearer influencing the shape- who knows- it's quirky and i do like the irregular shapes as they do blend in better with the tie dyed shapes at the top. At the moment I am trying to sew all the circles on and then I will embroider them with simple stitches. Can anyone see a sort of portrait on the background fabric? It's almost like an old negative. So I will be starting another Travellers Blanket on- line class starting July 1. If you are interested in joining please email me. The cost is $60 and the course consists of three lessons, delivered as pdf files and a discussion group so that you can share your stories and get feedback .The idea is that you create a kind of story with fabrics and stitches- it is surprising what stories people have told with their blankets- some have been very personal, using such things as fabrics that belonged to family, others have told stories of morning walks along the beach and others have recorded things from the past. The background cloth I have used is hand dyed khadi cloth ( which is a hand spun and woven fabric ), which is also available for sale if you are interested.
