Adventures of our Fami-Ly: Quiet Book Tutorial and Templates. Well, here are all my secrets, sources, and sewing tips from the quiet book I debuted a few weeks ago. I hope that they will be useful to you and will inspire you to create one of these books too! I simply ask that if you use any of my original templates or ideas that you kindly link them back here, just as I’ve done with the templates that were not my own ideas.

Other than that, enjoy them all! To create the quiet book page: You will need lots of muslin. This material is super durable and easy to work with. 1. 2. 3. Step 4: Place pins in each of the four corners (to ensure identical size in both layers of muslin) and cut out your page. Step 5: Decorate those pages! I also used a layer of interfacing between the pages (for extra “oomph”). Step 6: Layer the pages as shown in the *lovely* diagram below to make a little “page sandwich”: Step 7: Use LOTS of pins and pin the pages together (as shown above) Sew, using a 1/2 seam allowance around the edges of your “page sandwich”.

Handmade #2:Doorway Puppet Theatre. Fleece Farm Friends. Doll suitcase: tutorial. I created this fun doll suitcase for my oldest daughter and we love playing with it together. It has three interchangeable rooms, a secret clothes storage space under the floor, and it's portable! Would you like to make your own? I'll show you how! You will need all of the supplies listed above, as well as the notably missing iron, thread, scissors, and sewing machine. The 'wallpaper' fabric, or base fabric, for the rooms needs to be at least a whole fat quarter (depending on the size of your suitcase), but the remaining fabric can be scraps - it's a great way to use up some of your stash. I made three interchangeable rooms for mine, so I used three pieces of poster board. First, measure the inside of the lid and cut out the poster board(s) so it fits snugly behind the ruffle, but you can still pull it out.

Next, take a large piece of freezer paper and trace the outline of the poster board so you know exactly how much space you have to fill. Embroider any small details as needed. Cupcake cutie: Free Pattern: Felt cube toy for baby. I made this cube for my son more than a year ago and now that I have whipped it out of storage for my daughter I thought I would share the pattern with you.

You will need: Assorted pieces of felt: Larger pieces for the sides Scraps for the pictures Scissors Pinking Shears (if you have them) Embroidery floss (stranded cotton) in various colours Polyfill You can download the pattern HERE Cut six of the side pieces in different colours of felt. Sorry I haven't got a step-by-step photo tutorial for this one but I will talk you through each side....

Mushroom: Cut some freehand white circles for the mushroom spots and stitch onto the mushroom head. Duck: Stitch the wing to the body. Cupcake: Stitch the base to the background. Ladybird: Stitch the body to the background. Apple: Stitch apple to background. Hedgehog: Cut the body out using pinking shears (if you have them). I have used blanket stitch to sew the sides together but whip stitch will work fine too.

十二生肖有三枚難產 on Flickr - Photo Sharing! Kisautók. Újabb vécépapír-gurigás ötlet megvalósításába kezdtem: valamikor még régen a net egyik távoli, sötét sarkában láttam kisautókat, amelyeket ebből az alapanyagból készített egy különösen kreatív felhasználó. Már akkor szöget ütött a fejembe a dolog, de mivel a Kisebbik akkoriban még játszás helyett előszeretettel fogyasztotta a papírgurigákat, elhalasztottam a megvalósítást, egészen mostanáig. Gurigák szokás szerint nagy számban álltak rendelkezésre, színes papírok, ragasztók és kartonok mindig vannak a háznál, az egyetlen problémaokozó (=hiányzó) hozzávaló a Milton-kapocs volt.

(Tudjátok, ez az a kis izé, aminek fémfeje van, és utána két széthajtható "lába".)Már írtam, hogy az egyik rossz szokásom, hogy minden azonnal kell nekem, szóval amikor elhatároztam, hogy elkészítem a kisautókból a saját verzióimat, tudtam, hogy nem lesz időm elmenni aznap Milton-kapcsot vadászni valahol, és kezdtem elkeseredni.De mire is jó, ha az ember lánya nyomdákkal áll napi kapcsolatban? 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Quiet {Flip} Book. This is a project I have been working on since June. It's taken me a while, but I am SO happy with how it turned out!! Better than I expected! I'm not sure what to call it yet - it's a quiet book because it's made of cloth, but it's a flip/body/mix & match book... So for now, it's a quiet {flip} book! Want to see how I did it? If not, then I'm not really sure what to tell you... For those that do, here we go!!

I started by getting on the computer and drew/illustrated eight different "people". I bought some thin, white cotton fabric and cut the 3 different sizes 'tabs'. Next, I got out my handy light board and traced all of my people onto their respective tabs with a water erasable marking pen. I whipped out my embroidery hoop, huge bag of thread in every color & found a comfy spot on the couch. Rinse your stitcheries to get rid of the marker and lay flat to dry. And no, you aren't seeing things. I chose leaving the left side open because that will be the side in the binding. So fun!!

Boots. Some of you asked how I made the girls' musketeer boots, so this is the how-to post. They are actual boots, not boot-covers, and they were made to fit each girl. I began by tracing around their feet to make the sole pattern. I also used my old ballet slipper patterns, much adjusted in both shape and size, because my kids' feet have since grown, for the vamps. Here is a paper muslin. Note that, to get a nice rounded toe area (as opposed to flat and squashed), the vamp (green part) is actually bigger than the sole in the toe area.

I eased this around the edge of the sole the same way I baste/ ease in set-in-sleeves into an armhole. If you do it right, you will not get gathers or puckers or pleats - only a rounded and roomy toe portion. The boots have a back zipper, so the kids can put them on and take them off by themselves. Here is the link to the pattern pieces, which you can print out in three sizes, along with an instruction sheet. Notes: 2 The patterns are somewhat rough. Patterns. Alright, so they're more popularly known as messenger bags but I grew up calling them satchels. Unlike traditional satchels, however, these aren't leather. They also have no buckles because I was mass-producing them for kids - I wanted to save time and wasn't convinced that kids were going to actually use the buckles. There is absolutely nothing original or creative about the basic design of satchels. Everyone is making them.

I made my satchels as goodie bags for Emily's party. The Color Me fabrics are very thin - lighter weight even than quilting cotton so I had to interface them with fusible craft-weight interfacing to make them sturdy enough for the kids to color on. The strap is nylon webbing. You can find messenger bag tutorials everywhere on the internet, so I'm not going to do a step-by-step.

Click on the diagram above to download the instruction sheet. Here are some behind-the-scenes photos. Here is a close-up shot of how I attached the gusset around the rounded corners. Tutorial. Two Zip A Bag posts mere days apart - what is this unorthodox unprocrastination??? I say we run with it while it lasts. This is one of my absolute favorite bags of this series because it's a serial shapeshifter.

It has so many looks - from the classic trapezoidal tote which can be carried underarm, granny-purse style, or slouch-bag style suspended from the zipper ends with either one or both carrying straps. It can also be slung hip-level with the longer shoulder strap. And, if you latch those snap hooks at the ends of the zipper to the D-rings on the sides of the bag, trapezium turns cuboid, and this little tote moonlights as a boxy traveling case whose bottom unzips for extra volume: Before we break it down, let me assure you that it is not as time-consuming as it looks.

Unless you're working with print fabric, and you're obsessive about about print alignment at the seams, overlapping pockets, zipper continuity and such. In which case it might take forever. Two zipper techniques here: Not kidding. Fabric dollhouse.

Homemade Sidewalk Paint DIY | OC Family Blogs. Thursday, 19 July 2012 Homemade Sidewalk Chalk Paint DIY We are for sure in the heat of the summer. Are your kids waterlogged yet from running through backyard sprinklers, sliding on slip-n-slides, or splashing in pools? Here is a great crafty afternoon backyard activity perfect for any age, that will let the dry out a little bit. = ) They can make their own homemade sidewalk chalk paint! It’s made with only 3 ingredients, all non-toxic and safe for kids. All you need is some water, cornstarch, and food coloring to make your own sidewalk paint. We used a muffin tin to create each color of paint, and an inexpensive set of paintbrushes. Next, pour some water over the cornstarch. Finally, pour about 4 drops of food coloring in the cornstarch water mixture and stir. My tween was happy to have some downtime after swimming all day, and relax and be creative while still enjoying the beautiful weather outside.

What sidewalk masterpieces can you make? Be Sociable, Share! The gnomes cottage. How to Build Cardboard Castle. We can’t think of a better way to spend an afternoon than building this colorful cardboard castle with your kids. Christiane Lemieux, the founder and creative director of DwellStudio and author of Undecorate, has shared this inspiring cardboard castle that was designed and built by her two young children. The castle strikes a great balance between Christiane’s fondness for luminous colors which DwellStudio is famous for and the unstructured design and patterns that have flowed from her children’s imagination. Who better to exemplify the essence of Undecorate than children, whose design choices are not limited by boundaries or expectations but rather motivated by joy and creativity. cardboard castle View the next page to see how they did it or check out the photos above for inspiration.

Cuando llegué a casa y monté las lámparas, vi cómo eran las cajas y me resistí a tirarlas… Las guardé pensando yo con esto hago algo fijo… Y el otro día se me ocurrió elaborar este parking mientras veía jugar a uno de mis hijos con los cochecitos… Así que nada, aquí os dejo el invento. Lo hice simplemente recortando y pegando con cola caliente unos trozos de cartón. Corté las alas de la caja / I cut the sides of the box cover Corté varios trozos de cartón / I cut some cardboard pieces Dibujé con rotulador / I drew with marker Pegué la rampa y la gasolinera con velcro adhesivo / I pasted the ramp and the gas station with adhesive velcro Pegué con cola caliente / I stuck with hot glue Corté una tira de fieltro para hacer el asa / I cut a strip of felt to make the handle Pegué unos trozos de velcro adhesivo a la gasolinera y la rampa, para que fuesen de quita y pon y así poder cerrar la maleta.

Fotos: La Factoría Plástica. Реплика-геометрика | Replika-geometrika. Обычно, я не копирую никакие промышленные игрушки, но тут получилось исключение. Во-первых, эта игрушка эстетически привлекательна и весьма полезна для развития детеныша. А во-вторых, если покупать ее в магазине, то нужно отдать от 300 руб. до 1000 руб., в зависимости от страны-производителя. Хотя денег-то не жалко, но возник уже почти профессиональный интерес - Неужели нельзя сделать такую же, но из моего любимого картона? Оказывается можно и довольно быстро! Нужно вырезать три картонки, размером 260х80 мм. Отверстия можно разметить по этой схеме (размеры в миллиметрах). На нижнюю картонку тоже приклеиваем бумагу и склеиваем все три картонки вместе, так чтобы стороны с наклееной бумагой оказались снаружи. Вырезаем геометрические фигурки. Вот схема фигурок с размерами и отверстиями. По размеченным точкам протыкаем отверстия. А затем, расширить его с помощью шуруповерта, так же с двух сторон.

Вот, как это выглядит в почти законченном виде. Примериваем фигурки к деревянным палочкам. PS. Making The Faraway Tree. Welcome to The Making Of The Faraway Tree! First, let me say that this is not a tutorial. It's more like a behind-the-scenes to its construction. Unlike sewing, which is better illustrated with detailed step-by-step instructions, building with cardboard isn't. Often a person can tell just by looking, how a cardboard thing is put together. Second, while I'd been letting the idea of a Faraway Tree model percolate in my brain for a long time, I didn't hit on the final layout until a month or two ago. Before that, I'd considered a swing-open style like this dollhouse, and a twisty Slippery Slip using some kind of clear tubing from a hardware store. All doomed to failure for all kinds of reasons. Looking back at the toys and playthings I've made for the kids, their favorites have been the ones that do something.

Well, enough talking already! To begin, the main supporting pieces of the Tree look like this and They slot together without glue. With the chute done, the elevator was assembled next. The Faraway Tree. This being National Reading Month, I thought I'd do my bit for advocating children's literacy. Have you read this book? It's the first of Enid Blyton's original trilogy that is beloved by millions of children all over the world. There are three books in the trilogy: The Enchanted Wood, The Magic Faraway Tree and The Folk Of The Faraway Tree. The originals cost a small fortune on ebay now, although you can buy the revised reprints (and a revised fourth title Up The Faraway Tree) easily and affordably enough.

In case you have a hard time finding it, let me quickly give you the background. I read the trilogy to the girls two years ago and they fell in love with the little folk, particularly Silky, the pretty little fairy who bakes magical, interactive confections. Anyway, I made it! I finally made it! I made the Faraway Tree!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! All almost-three feet of it - in glorious cardboard!!!!!! The first is the Lands on the top of the tree. Victoria_daniel_paperdolls.pdf (application/pdf-object) Felt Number Mobile – Try Handmade Gallery. Studio ToutPetit: Tutorial Tuesdays * Doll Suitcase.

Wee mouse tin house in Entertainment, books and tales for babies and kids. What's Mummy Up To ...: Matching Scraps. We love Matching Games. I have to admit that Bethany is a little too good at these games these days, and Mummy definitely doesn't have to let her win anymore...she just does it on her own. I blame baby brain ... I wonder how long I can continue to use that excuse? I first saw this idea of a fabric matching game on a stall at the craft market ,"Wheel 'n Weft", that's run a couple of times a year in Thornleigh, Sydney. Now, I'm very new to applique, and the thought of sewing carefully around 20 little circles kinda freaked me out, but I did like the idea of having some applique practice.

I used: - 10 different scraps of quilting fabric - Fat quarter of white background fabric - Fat quarter of backing fabric (I used pink gingham ... you can never have too much gingham!!) Tip: I used a rotary cutter, quilter's ruler and mat to cut all the pieces. - Place the white background squares and backing fabric squares right side together, and sew around the edges using a 1/4 inch seam.
