Want another fun Paint Chip craft? Ok how about an Easy one? This is one of my daughter's new favorite matching games and it was super easy to make as you can tell! Chose some Paint Chip colors....yes once again a hard decision so i decided to do the rainbow colors! Grab your hot glue gun and a pair of scissors And last some clothespins I cut of the sides of the paint chip that had words and numbers on it. Then i cut a little piece from each of the color shades and glued them each onto a clothespin I also mounted the color pieces onto poster board to make it a little firmer, if your really into it you could also laminate them but i wasn't feeling that ambitious. And there you have it! And let the fun begin! As you can tell we're still kind of working on the whole "matching" colors thing,but it won't take long! For Hailey I definitely know this will keep her busy for awhile! Have Fun
I just checked Sigrid's fantastic sewing tutorials website and so far as I can tell, this trick, which I picked up from Claire Shaeffer's book Couture Sewing Techniques, isn't there. So here goes. What is a balanced dart? It's a dart which is, when pressed flat to one side, balanced by a strip of self-fabric which is stitched down the middle along the line of the dart, and pressed flat to the opposite side. The two layers of fabric sewn into the dart are of equal thickness to the folded strip of self fabric. The desired result is that instead of a visible ridge at the dart, which has one layer of fabric on one side of the stitching line and 3 on the other, this pressed-to-one-side dart leaves an outer surface that is as flat and smooth as a seam that has been pressed open. Clear as mud? To the right is the inside of what you are aiming for: This dart is pressed to the centre and the strip towards the side seam, but I don't think it really matters which goes which way. Balancing the darts is unnecessary if your fabric is thin and will press very flat. For my dress, however, I'm using a suiting weight wool which is underlined with silk organza. Start by cutting strips of fashion fabric which are about 2.5cm (1") wide and the length of the dart plus 2.5cm. They are cut on the straight grain. Even if you only have shreds of fabric left, you'll have more than enough to do this. Then go ahead and stitch the darts. Take the strip of fabric and pin it under the stitched dart, like so: Place the strip so that the stitching line of the dart runs (approximately) down the centre line of the strip of fabric, and so that the ends of the strip are a little bit beyond the pointy end of the dart. More of the strip is visible at the thin ends of the dart than in the thicker middle, as you can see. Then stitch along the already-sewn line of the dart. Press carefully, with the dart going one way and the folded strip the other (as shown above). From the right side, there is no ugly ridge. Voila.

When it comes to constructing knit garments, there is very little that requires the help of your sewing machine when you have a serger. This means that a basic sewing machine can most certainly get the job done with its serger buddy doing all of the heavy lifting. So what exactly makes a serger a better option for sewing knits?

The Sulis Hat is named for an ancient Celtic goddess of the sun, who was thought to reside by the thermal spring in Bath. This is Pattern Fantastique's offering for those who wish to embody a goddess lounging by the water, or in the backyard with a paddling pool. The Sulis has serious sun protection in mind but a shape only worthy of the divine. With an offset brim which is deeper at the front and shorter at the back and a crafted form-fitting crown for a strong silhouette, the Sulis is reminiscent of 70’s era YSL fashion. There are optional ties for when a blustery air god swings by and crown trim for a little added finish. The Sulis remains soft and pliable so that it can be stashed in a beach bag or pressed into crisp perfection for
