Tutorial - Crop Circle Table Runner. Hello!
Welcome to my first tutorial! I'm so excited to share this fun table runner idea with you.... Sew,Mama,Sew! Is having a scrap tutorial contest and I thought I'd try my hand at making one for you using a fun technique for turning scraps in to "FABRIC STICKERS". You read that right - it's a simple case of scrap, cut, sew, flip and stick! Here's what you need:- fabric scraps at least 3" square- background fabric (I used a piece of organic linen 18"w X 55" long)-backing fabric the same size as your runner-lightweight, fusible woven interfacing the same size as your runner (I used this to stabilize my linen by fusing it to the wrong side of the linen before starting any applique)-scraps of lightweight, fusible non-woven interfacing like "Sewer's Dream" large enough to cover your largest circle template.
Here's how you do it: 1) Pick a crop of scraps that look nice together. 3) Trace a variety of circle sizes onto the wrong side of your scrap fabric pieces. How to Make a Basic Pillow + How to Finish a Pillow with Binding.

Pillow forms are available at most quilt shops and hobby shops and take one step out of the process!
Tutorial ~ Zippered and Slip Pocket Tutorial. Many of you know Autum from her fabulous creations and her blog, Creative Little Daisy.
Creative little daisy: Don't fear the zipper. Zippers seem to be the boogyman of sewing.
The monster under the bed that puts fear in the hearts of sew-ers. And like the boogyman zippers need not scare you, the fear is only imagined. For a long time I avoided anything that required putting a zipper in. I'd check the back of the pattern to see if a zipper was required, if so, that pattern went back in the drawer.

Adding a Strap to any Strapless Case. Tutorial - Voile Scarf. Down here in Texas, we have no need for thick knitted scarves, as gorgeous as they are, because winter lasts all of about 5 days... but we still like to be stylish!
So, I recently ordered my first batch of Spoonflower fabric on the sheer-ish cotton voile, specifically for this purpose and am very pleased. I immediately set to work sewing up this sweet little scarf, taking photos along the way so I could share it. The fabric I'm using is one of my original designs, "Love Birds - Twilight" and you can find it and other color variations here. The silk crepe de chine or the cotton silk fabrics are also lightweight and lovely options. To start with, I washed my fabric first, as a precaution.
Then just cut a long, rectanglular piece that is equal to the length you desire by twice the width plus extra for hemming all the way around. Now stitch along the length of the pinned edge, (I used a 3/8 in. seam allowance), securing both ends with a few backstitches. Turn your fabric right side out.
