Lunch Money Zippered Apple Pouch Tutorial
Today I made a scarf using a new sticky Sulky Solvy AND IT WAS SO MUCH EASIER! (And so much more expensive.) I bought a roll of this awhile ago using a half-price coupon, but since it was so expensive I was saving it. But last night I used up the last of the regular Solvy, so I gave this a try. It's wonderful. All the little fabric and yarn snippets stay right where you put them, and you don't have to pin it all together. It's called STICKY FABRI-SOLVY. Here's the link: http://www.sulky.com/stabilizers/stickyfabrisolvy.php The stitching went SO much faster since I didn't have to keep stopping to remove safety pins. And this product has a heavier, fabric-like feel that makes it a lot easier to control under the needle than the flimsy regular Solvy. It took longer to rinse out, but most of the stickiness was still gone in less than five minutes. I squeezed it in a towel, hung it up to dry and it was ready to wear in no time. The only downside I can see is the price. My 12"-wide, 6-yard roll was priced at $29, and I use 60" per scarf. That's only 3 1/2 scarves per roll, or about $8 a scarf. (Don't hold me to this -- I'm doing these calculations in my head and rounding numbers.) I'll need another half-off coupon before I buy more. Have a colorful day

雨季です。 雨止みのひととき。ここの所、天気が急変してザーッと勢い良く雨が降ったかと思うと、スッとやんだり。田んぼのカエルたちも忙しそうです。雨季なんだなぁ…としみじみしている場合では有りません。相変わらずのワラーチ制作に加えて、今週末のワ
Am Wochenende habe ich sehr viel genäht. Mir ist dabei besonders aufgefallen, dass ich ständig von A nach B gelaufen bin, weil ich wahlweise Nahttrenner, Nadeln, Markierungsstifte oder meine Fadenschere holen musste.
Good Morning Friends & Folk ~ and a happy Sunday to us all.... ~ our day will be a rainy one, with grey clouds and a bit of a chill in the damp air. and on to Slow Stitching! we all {mostly} know the concept of slow stitching... methodical, mindful {or not} stitches made in small areas at a time using recycled, old, new, used, worn fabrics and threads of all-sorts. ~ now this is something that excites me LOL ~ I do follow a few Instagram, Pinterest & Youtube accounts for slow stitching, and I'll share them with you at the end of this posting, if you're so-inclined. here are a few photos that I've borrowed from Pinterest, showing some of my favorite projects that have been posted there: and now for a few snaps of what I'll be working on today using Slow Stitch... all I need to do is add thread! ~ I know it's not for everyone... and to some it looks unfinished, done by untrained hands, 'too' primitive or even messy. but to me, it is beautiful. poignant. intriguing... easy but challenging and frees oneself from the constraints of perfection-ism. nothing wrong with frayed edges and loose threads. faded colors and age-spots and stains are fine. wrinkles are perfect and show character. each stitch taken should be mindful, carefully placed and thought upon. stitch your feelings into your cloth and relax a while. does Slow Stitching have to be pretty? nope. is it supposed to make sense? only to you. is there a right or wrong way to do it? I don't think so, you do you. so give it a try. gather your supplies: a sewing basket or bag to keep your things in {or better yet, MAKE a bag!} sharp needle, blunt tipped needle, sharp scissors, chalk, pencil, frixion pen {heat erasable} lots of threads and lots of fabric scraps. and don't forget to include your imagination...... here are the links promised and I do hope you visit them: https://deep-rooted-healing.com/art-projects/buried-books https://www.jessiechorley.com/ https://www.instagram.com/petalplum/ https://www.instagram.com/maycontainpaper/ https://www.instagram.com/k3n.clothtales/ Blessings from the Farm ~ Lori

Here's a little special something for you to make! These pretty cases are perfect for keeping your glasses safe, or holding pens and pencils. They're easy to make and you can download the pattern pieces here. What you'll need to make one case: 9 x 6 inch felt in main colour 9 x 6 inch felt for lining Scraps of felt for bunny/dog Embroidery thread Pinch of stuffing for bunny tail Seed beads for dog collar Button Water soluble pen Exacto blade : Cut our your pattern pieces and lay each piece onto your chosen felts. Carefully cut out. Tip: A sharp pair of long-nosed embroidery scissors are perfect for cutting around the tiny curves on the bunny and dog. Doggie case : Position dog body onto main colour of bag front. Applique all around outer edge. Using your water soluble pen, mark a little eye and a tiny snout. : Embroider eye and snout on with black thread, adding a tiny white stitch to his eye to create an illusion of light reflecting off the eye. : Place ear onto head and applique on and then position collar on and applique on. If you like, sew three seed beads onto the collar. : Pin both pieces of bag front as well as both pieces of bag back together. Baste pieces together. This will keep the front and back pieces from sliding out of place when you sew the two sides together. : Blanket stitch top edge of bag front. Pin front of bag to back of bag. : Blanket stitch all the way around outer edge. Remove basting stitches. : Sew a button onto the front, fold over flap and mark button hole placement. Being very careful, cut slit with your exacto blade. To keep the hole from warping, blanket stitch around opening of button hole. And you're done! Bunny Case : Firstly, you'll need to determine the placement of your bunny in order to know where to place his back ear. Position bunny onto main colour of bag front. Tuck the back ear behind the head so that the head just slightly overlaps the bottom of the ear. You can also use the front ear to help with the placement. Once you're happy with the placement, carefully remove the body/front ear and applique back ear in place. : Applique tail onto body and add a teeny pinch of stuffing before closing. Applique inner ear onto front ear. : Position bunny body in place and applique in place. Follow the directions above to make the eye and add two little whiskers. : Place front ear in place and applique in place. Sew the bow on at the neck using a few tiny stitches in the centre to keep it in place. : As in the first step, determine where you'd like to place the carrot and tuck the carrot greens behind the carrot. Applique bottom edge of greens onto front of bag. : Place carrot onto greens, slightly overlapping bottom edge of greens with the top edge of the carrot. Applique on. If you like, use a darker orange thread to embroider some straight stitches on to give the carrot some texture. : Follow the rest of the steps above to finish your bunny case:) Enjoy! ~Shelly xo

I am happy to say that I am back in the saddle again, the SEWING SADDLE, and have recently posted a number of finished Thread Catchers at my Etsy shop, Curry Bungalow . I have a few new fabrics that I am crazy about and they have inspired me. The new line from Bonnie and Camille, "April Showers", is so cute that I can hardly stand it! I love those little umbrellas. And that red polka dot coordinates perfectly. I love these fabrics so much that I made a new thread catcher for myself, like I need another one... Another personal favorite is this sweet little scissors print. The coordinating lining is a mannequin print and I put these together with some of my Avalon fabrics. LOVE IT! I guess I should confess,... I am just a little bit addicted to making these things. Can you be a little bit addicted? Is that like being a little bit pregnant? In any case, I love making these things, and I especially love that others are as excited about them as I am.
Aujourd'hui j'ai envie de partager avec vous des modèles de crochet sans patrons , ni diagrammes , juste pour le plaisir des yeux et pour l'inspiration , juste pour regarder quand le tissu est sublimé avec le crochet, ou le contraire , bref le mariage...
