Tutorial on Making a Nine Patch Block with swirled seams. This is a tutorial on one way to make a nine patch block. The Nine Patch is one of the most basic blocks used in quilting and it's very helpful to be able to make it well. It is the starting point for many other designs. This will help you perfect the Nine Patch and therefore help with other blocks as well. It's my first tutorial so bear with me! The nine patch begins with 9 equally sized square blocks. Take the middle fabrics and lay them right sides together to top of the left fabrics, aligning the right edge. Chain stitch these three blocks together. Take your stitched blocks and lay them out next to the remaining right side blocks, opening the blocks as you do so. Now take the right side blocks and lay them down, right sides together, on top of the middle blocks. Just as before, chain stitch these blocks together as well.
Next is an important step: pressing the seams. A close up view of the pressed seams. Here is a detail of two seams being nested together. Now comes the tricky part. Fashion, Sewing Patterns, Inspiration, Community, and Learning | BurdaStyle.com. 101 Sewing Tutorials for Summer!

Layered Tee - Tutorial Tuesday. Layered Tee - Tutorial Tuesday My girl, Joy, came up with an amazing project last week that really got my wheels turning. You know when you see something and it inspires you to want to do 25 other things with the idea? Yep, it was like that. Hop on over to see her Recycled T-Shirt Scarf and you'll know where I'm going with this. See, Joy and I have a similar problem. All our shirts grow holes near the bottom, in the tummy area. We've come up with many ideas as to why this happens (leaning against the counter to wash dishes might be the culprit). Recycled Layered T-Shirt Supplies: 2 t-shirtspaperchalkscissorsneedlethread Begin with two t-shirts, I chose the outer shirt one size larger.
Free hand a leafy sort of design (or hearts, or stars, or smiley faces...) on a sheet of computer paper. Lay your stencil onto the outer t-shirt and rub the chalk over the open spaces - Yes, I stole this sidewalk chalk from my poor children. See the design left behind? Okay, this is where brilliance comes in!
