Greetings, Feeling Stitchy readers! I'm excited to bring you embroidery-related tutorials on Thimblenest Thursdays! I'm sure spouses, children, and pets could testify that those of us who dabble in embroidery are prone to misplace needles from time to time. Having been guilty of that myself, I started getting a little worried recently when I also began misplacing my embroidery scissors. After finding myself sitting on them one too many times, I devised a way to keep them in a safer, more visible place on my person at all times--a wrist cuff! Calculating Your Fabric/Notion Measurements As you read through the following tutorial, please keep in mind that this cuff is based on my scissor and wrist/arm measurements. Obviously everyone has different sized arms and scissors, so you may need to adjust your fabric dimensions accordingly. For reference, my scissors are 1 5/8" x 3 5/8" (4 cm x 9 cm)--if your scissors are around that size, the pocket should probably work. Most important is the wrist/forearm measurement; at the wrist, my arm circumference measured 6" (15 cm) . 4 inches (10 cm) up my forearm (the height of the cuff), the circumference was 7" (17.8 cm). Based on the 7" measurement, I added 2" (5 cm) of overlap to be sure the cuff fit. To be sure your cuff will fit, follow this formula: Forearm circumference (at largest part of arm where cuff will sit) + 2 inches (5 cm) = length to cut main fabric and interfacing. From this point forward I'll be referring to the measurements I used to create my cuff. If your scissors are roughly the same size as mine, the only thing that will be different is the length/width of your cuff. Let's do this! Materials For main cuff 2 pieces midweight cotton: 9" (23 cm) x 4" (10 cm) 1 piece lightweight iron-on interfacing: 9" (23 cm) x 4" (10 cm) double-fold bias tape 2 pieces 4" (10 cm) long 2 pieces 10" (25.5 cm) long (the length of the cuff + 1 inch (2.5 cm)) For pocket 2 pieces midweight cotton: 2 3/4" (7 cm) x 3 1/4" (8.25 cm) 1 piece felt or thin batting: 2 3/4" (7 cm) x 3 1/4" (8.25 cm) double-fold bias tape 1 piece 4" (10 cm) long 1 3" (7.5 cm) piece of Velcro Water soluble fabric marker Sewing pins or clips Assembling the Main Cuff Iron the interfacing to the wrong side of one main cuff piece. Place both cuff pieces with wrong sides together and sew around all four sides using a 1/8" (3.175 mm) seam allowance. Sew the 4" (10 cm) bias tape to each short end of the main cuff. Then attach the 10" (25.5 cm) bias tape to the long edges; extend the extra length evenly over each end at the corners. Fold the raw edges in on themselves before sewing the bias tape down. Your main cuff is complete! Assembling the Pocket & Attaching to Cuff Place the two cotton fabric pieces with right sides facing; lay the felt or batting piece on top of them. Sew all three layers together using a scant 1/4" (6.35 mm) seam allowance, leaving one short side unstitched. Trim seam allowance close to stitching. Turn pocket right side out--cotton fabric should now be visible on both sides and felt/batting will be turned to inside. Push out corners and press entire pocket with a hot iron. Apply remaining 4" (10 cm) piece of bias tape to top (open) edge of pocket, turning in raw ends. Center pocket on top of main cuff along bottom edge and stitch through all layers using a 1/8" (3.175 mm) seam allowance--leave top edge of pocket open! Applying Velcro & Finishing Cuff Try the cuff on--hold in place with pins or clips. Using the short end of the overflap as a guide to draw a line with the water soluble marker on the underflap. Your line will be at an angle because the cuff forms a cone as it wraps around your arm. Place the loop side of the Velcro tape just inside the line you drew (following its angle) and sew in place. Flip the cuff over and sew the hook side of the Velcro tape at the opposite end of the cuff. Remove the water soluble line. Your cuff is finished! Strap on the cuff and gather your scissors and needles (the padded pocket makes a nice little mini pincusion!). Your scissors can be worn either underneath or on top of your wrist and you can embroider in peace--no worries about sitting down on a sharp surprise! How do you keep your embroidery scissors under control?
Have a go at this toad-ally adorable craft project.
For a long time I had my many needles jammed in a bin with a lot of other little embroidery odds and ends, and I really wanted a more convenient (and cute!) way to store them. So I set out to create a needle book, and a tutorial to go along with it!
I have been wanting to make a Travel Sewing Kit for sometime now. We are in the car quite often and it seems like the perfect place to take along my hand sewing projects.

If you've been around since the beginning of Lo & Behold Stitchery, you might remember that key fobs were my JAM. Back in the early days, I cranked out SO many key fobs in all sorts of variations and stocked my Etsy shop with them. They are super fun to make and very quick and rewarding! I eventually phased out of making them for sale, but I do still really enjoy making one from time to time! They make great teacher gifts, stocking stuffers, party favors....whatever you'd like! All you need is some scrap fabric, scrap batting and a key ring (which you probably already have!) Gather all of your supplies and lets get to it! PS - Looking for a printable PDF?

"Every child who sews with a will should have a wee birdie to help with his bill."I have long been fascinated with some of the clever inventions of the past, the sewing bird being one of them. The sewing bird, also known as a sewing clamp, hemming clamp, or third hand, was used in the 18th and early 19th centuries to attach one end of a piece of cloth firmly to a table to enable the seamstress to hold her sewing taut with one hand while stitching with the other.(Image Source) Commonly used in the Victorian home, this third hand clamps to a table while the beak holds the fabric to be sewn. Depressing the tail releases the beak enabling the fabric to be repositioned or removed. Before the invention of the sewing machine, clothing, sheets, and other household items were sewn by hand, this handy little clamp was often used for hemming. (Reproduction Sewing Bird for sale at Victorian Trading Company) Early clamps can be traced to the late 17th century. The "sewing bird" came into fashion early in the 18th century. Invented in the Georgian period in England, it was the first device that allowed the material to be moved without having to loosen the clamp. Many were made for the travel trade and were used for advertisements. Most were made of polished and turned wood or iron. Victorian clamps were made of brass, iron, steel and painted wood. (Image Source) In America the first sewing birds were called "grippers." Not used widely until mid-19th century, they became popular as a luxury item, which a young man would present to his intended bride months before the wedding. These were made in many varieties; birds with or without a pin cushion, on a spindle or not, deer, dogs, fish, frogs, snakes, dolphins, cherubs and people. Small thread winders, spool holders, netting hooks and rug braiders were also common. (Antique Sewing Bird) After the invention of the sewing machine the need for grippers was diminished but they were still manufactured as novelties. The Singer Sewing Machine Company produced a few as late as 1980. These original inexpensive novelties of yesteryear are expensive antique collectibles today. (Reproduction Sewing Birds sold at My Secret Shelf) I have seen these marvels in antique stores but don't actually own one, however, I had a need for making my own version of a "sewing bird". I found myself frustrated at always have to run to my sewing basket while crafting when I needed a handy pin, needle, or thread. I began my solution with a faded pale blue feed sack, an old cork/metal bottle stopper, and a vintage iron receipt holder found at a flea market... I sketched a little bird body, tail, and wings onto the feed sack with a Mark-B-Gone marker adding detail lines to the body, tail, and wings, which I then stitched over in brown embroidery floss... After the pieces were stitched together and stuffed, I removed the marker lines with a damp cloth and then used Fabri-tac to attach the tail and wings... I used a strong glue (E-6000) to glue the bottle stopper to the bottom of a small purchased twig and moss nest... And then I glued the bird into the nest, tacking the wings to the sides of the nest... I slipped spools of thread onto the receipt holder and pushed the cork bottle stopper down onto the sharp tip of the holder, then filling my sewing birds nest with needful supplies, like a mini scissor tucked under one wing (These were a gift from my sweet friend Pam and they are so sturdy and cut so well)... A large needle and thimble under the other wing... Pins and needles perch on the back of the bird... A little surprise pocket in the tail conceals a needle threader (I hate to admit that my eyes are just not what they used to the and I actually need one of these now!)... Here is my new sewing bird sitting on the worktable and all ready for service with no more running to the sewing basket! (For more great sewing ideas visit http://topreveal.com/diy-sewing-craft-ideas) They say that necessity is the mother of invention. I truly believe that and I am very happy with how my little version of a handy and helpful "sewing bird" turned out. "Sew", if you could create a needful invention to solve one of your problems, what would it be? ""Blessings, Miss Sandy
