Firstly, start by trimming the corners of your excess canvas to prepare it for the binding stitch and avoid bulk Cut two triangles on each corner but be careful not to cut too close to the edge of the stitched canvas - you will need the space between the cuts and the stitched piece to fold the excess canvas properly and do the binding stitch. Then, do the binding stitch around all the canvas. We have a dedicated Binding Stitch Tutorial, go check it out if you don't know how to do it! Grab your mat board, place it in the back of the stitching, and secure it by folding the excess canvas - The size of the mat board should be slightly smaller than the size of the stitched canvas. Next, test to see if your canvas fits the acrylic clutch perfectly. Now it's time to apply the textile glue between the canvas and the mat board. When you're finished applying the glue, secure it with the fabric clips and wait for it to dry. Once you're sure it is dry, it's time to take the clips off and pick the self-adhesive velvet to apply it on top (the velvet should be previously cut to fit the back of the canvas perfectly). Then, you just have to peel the back off and start sticking it in placemaking sure it is all smooth. Check to see if everything is in place, and you can now cut some excess velvet if you see the need to. Now, the moment we've been waiting for: placing the canvas inside the acrylic clutch! And that's it, now you can fill it with your favorite stuff and rock your new handmade purse :) Check out all the designs available!

Underneath each of artist Ulla Stina Wikander‘s needlepoint objects is a real, once-functioning appliance, accessory, or tool. Wikander (previously) tends to select objects with traditional associations to domestic life, like sewing machines, ironing boards, and hair dryers. The artist, who is based in Sweden, combines the retired objects with historical cross-stitch patterns, which she also collects. Each piece is finished with colorful rick-rack detailing to help define the edges and describe the original shape. More

I've been taking a break from designing to give my creative juices some rest and work in other areas of my life. It's very strange to not have anything on the stretcher bars but it's an interesting exercise to not design for a few months. I've not done this since I started designing. I decided to take this "sabbatical" to see what happens. Of course, the ideas never really stop so the idea notebook is still growing. I am getting a big cross stitch project done and have been able to spend a lot of time in my sewing room working on some fun quilts. This past weekend I taught a pilot class for my new design, "Serenity". This group of ladies from my "local" Chapter (70 miles away!) did a great job and here they are after two days of stitching! It was so fun to see the different colorways emerge on their canvases! This weekend I'm headed to Orlando for the Sun Region Seminar. I'm taking advantage of Studio Time and have to decide what I will do - there are many options... I'll also be at Merchandise Night on Friday - if you're in the area, stop by - it's open to everyone, whether you're attending Seminar or not. Until next time, Kathy
