Things Hobbits would use
wow I love
The humble thimble is generally considered a rudimentary essential in any sewing kit. And yet, I've never used one. I actually just bought my first thimble last week! I didn't learn to hand stitch with a thimble, and I never saw the need to incorporate one. But then I realized the amount of padstitching I would be doing on my coat collar (through sturdy hair canvas, no less), and I figured it was time to see what all the thimble fuss is about. I have to say, I'm underwhelmed. Granted, this might be my own awkwardness as a new user, but I found it a bit unwieldy, like an extra extremity to deal with. My thread kept slipping out of my needle and I suddenly couldn't figure out how to situate my fingers. It was like learning hand stitching all over again! I eventually just flung it off and went back to my old ways. I was just learning padstitching, so maybe it was too much newness all at once. Or maybe I'm just not a thimble kind of gal. What is your position on this all-important topic? Are you pro-thimble or anti-thimble? Any tips to share for new thimble users? Also: coat updates to come! I spent HOURS yesterday padstitching, and I'm still not done with the undercollar. But, on the bright side: I'm finally getting the hang of it! And my collar is shaping up extremely well. I can't wait to show it to you!

Hi Everyone! I have been making jewelry for about twenty years and one of the first things I noticed out in the jewelry stores were the wonderful findings from Tierra Cast. They are a local company to me in Santa Rosa, California, so they were in the local bead stores that I frequented. If you can't find them in your local bead shop, there are many online from places like Artbeads. These findings are always great designs and quality workmanship. I was thrilled to receive a sample of their newest findings - Finishing Touches. These are crimp ends in some wonderful styles. You can use them for necklaces, bracelets or earrings. There are some great designs out there already using these crimp ends with beads and leather and tassels and fringe, so I wanted to see if I could make some earrings with fabric. To me, some of these crimp ends look like little fiesta skirts, so that was my inspiration. Here is the first one: Cotton Print Fabric Fan Earrings To make your own fabric fan earrings: 1. Tear a strip of fabric and stitch a running stitch along one edge. 2. Gather the strip and tie the threads creating a fabric circle. Overlap the edges and add a stitch to keep it overlapped. 3. Fold the circle in half and insert into the finding. 4. Squeeze the finding closed. Glue can be added before insertion if you like. Here's another set: Denim and Muslin Fabric Fan Earrings The denim over the muslin on these earrings is a die cut flower folded over the gathered muslin circle. These are so easy to make. I've got a lot more ideas and fabrics to try! If you try this idea, I'd love to see your photos. Thanks again TierraCast.
