Sewn by Hand Blog tour + Giveaway. Susan Wasinger's new book Sewn by Hand: Two Dozen Projects Stitched with Needle & Thread offers 'two dozen' (or '24' to the rest of us) projects to hand sew. Not just at home but to take along with you and work on wherever and whenever you like. The book is aimed at sewers of all skill levels. There are quite some fairly easy-to-do projects (napkins, bibs, thermal packs) that can be made with little or no experience. And some are more challenging like the Hassock. Do you sew by hand? The portability factor is indicated with each project and varies a lot.
In previous work Susan Wasinger has been keen to recycle and re purpose stuff so it's no surprise that Sewn by Hand has a couple of projects where recycled materials are being used. The nice folks at Lark Crafts have been so kind to provide us with some neat goodies to give away. To have a chance to win, leave a comment on this post and tell us if you get your needle and thread out in public (and if so where!).

For those not familiar with Susan Wasinger, she's an accomplished author. She's also published Fabricate, Eco Craft, and The Feisty Stitcher. I got a chance to do an interview with her over email and find out a little more about her background and what inspires her. Zakka Life: Tell us a little about yourself. how did you get started sewing? Susan Wasinger: My Swiss grandmother taught me to sew when I was four years-old. ZL: How would you describe your sewing style? ZL: You've published a book on machine sewing (The Feisty Stitcher) as well. Restylistas} watch restyle. Inspired by the many bold coloured wrap bracelet style wraps which seem to be around right now I decided to restyle my own.
Before: After: I opted for a neutral shade of aged cognac leather because I knew this would ensure it had a heavier rotation in my wardrobe. Here's how you can replicate the same: Cut 4 strips of leather approx 25-30cm in length, I used a rotary cutter, however a sharp craft knife would also suffice, or if you have a steady hand, a sharp pair of fabric shears. The width of the strips is determined by the width of your existing strap as measured at the watch face end of the strap, not the buckle end, in my case this was 1cm.
Set your sewing machine up with a leather needle, lengthen your stitch length to 3-3.5mm and adjust your needle position to the right so your stitches are formed approx 1-2mm in from the edge. On a single strap of leather fold under the top of the strap, wrong sides facing, by about 1 cm, as shown in the upper most piece above. Viola, you are done. Tutorials, tips, & tricks. Photos du mur.

When we were kids, my mother used to make this Parmesan chicken dish that was so good we would fight for drippings, every last crumb. She would start with a whole chicken, remove the skin and bones (and use them for making chicken stock), and then cut the meat into small pieces.
(She made “nuggets” before anyone called them that!) Then she she would dip the pieces into melted butter, dredge them in breadcrumbs and Parmesan, and bake them. My god were they good. Several years ago when I asked mom for the recipe, she hadn’t made it in so many years she had completely forgotten how. Updated from the recipe archive. Note that the color of your roasting pan may make a difference in your results. Ingredients Method 1 Preheat oven to 450°F. 2 In a small bowl, stir the minced garlic into the melted butter.
Note that if your chicken pieces are cold, they may cause the melted butter to thicken, leaving too much butter sticking the chicken pieces. Hello! You hold the key to my heart Valentine Printable. Hi! My name is Ashley, and I blog over at Mommy By Day Crafter By Night. I love to craft and sew when my two kids go to bed each night… and then I blog about the things I make. I am so excited to be here at Skip to my Lou to share a fun Valentine gift idea with a free printable to go with it! I came up with this idea because I was trying to think of something cute my my girls to send for Valentines Day to their aunt who is living in Tennessee right now. I love keys, so when I saw these key necklaces I thought it would be cute to send one with a gift tag that said “You Hold the Key to my Heart” tied onto it.
I found the gold one with the bangles on it at Forever 21 ($5), the brass looking one at American Eagle ($17), and the silver looking one at American Eagle ($15). Your gift doesn’t necessarily have to be anything “key” related- you could totally just tie this tag onto anything and it would work just fine… I love the way it looks tied with the twine on this cute gift box! Xoxo, Ashley. Juice Fasting. Fasting is the single greatest natural healing therapy. It is nature's ancient, universal "remedy" for many problems. If one is fasting for health purposes, it makes sense to support our body's needs while we reduce or remove some necessary elements from our diet. The basic elements that we need to remove from our diet for the sake of our health are cooked food and animal products. This includes the denatured packaged products such as white flour, refined sugar etc. and all animal products such as red meat, poultry, fish and eggs.
The only animal product that is usually allowed is a little honey for sweetening purposes. The best single method to accomplish these ends is to Juice fast. What is Juice Fasting? A juice fast is a type of detox diet. In addition to promoting the excretion of toxins and decreasing congestive symptoms, juice fasting is believed to have the following benefits: Eliminates most food allergies and sensitivities.

We’ve been to the theatre, travelled on public transport, enjoyed an animal nursery hosted at our local library, shared lunch in the city and breakfast at the beach, visited the museum and the art gallery, just to name a few. In the course of these outings I have used a number of the strategies from my teaching days that act to make the most of excursions or day trips with children, helping them to both engage with the experience and to recall key elements of their visit (and their learning) afterward.

January 30, 2012 in handmade goodness Today I thought I would share some photos I took for recently for my friend Heleen Miller Aberson who started an online children’s clothing business a few months ago. Heleen and I first met and became friends when our boys were at nursery school together, I loved her Dutch sensibility and sense of fun and we soon became car boot buddies, sharing a love for all things vintage.
We visit our local car boot sale together every month, meeting as the birds wake up, with coffees in hand and plenty of news to chat about as we rummage for treasure amongst the junk. If you were wondering why little girl above looks familiar then that’s because she is my daughter (she turned five earlier this month) and the our other pretty little model is Heleen’s daughter. We’ve done a few mini shoots at my home after school or early on a Saturday morning, trying to keep it quick and fun before the girls get too fidgety – which is easier said than done!
