How to Make Scrap Fabric Twine. Whenever I work on a sewing or quilting project, I always end up with leftover bits and pieces of fabric that I simply can’t bear to throw away.

And, it would seem that I’m not alone in my odds-and-ends fabric hoarding, because Cintia from My Poppet has put together this brilliant scrap fabric twine tutorial for just such a problem.

A rolled hem is a very small hem made up of two folds.
It can be really tricky to sew since each fold is teeny tiny. Many sewing machines have a rolled hem foot that curves and folds the fabric as you sew, but I find that way of sewing it to be very fussy and difficult to control. This is my personal preferred method for a rolled hem and I find it works perfectly every time. A rolled hem is an ideal finish on a finer blouse or dress, or something made with silk or a sheer fabric.
Don’t try it on heavy weight or bulky fabrics, since it is best on a lighter weight fabric. Step 1: On the hem of your garment, stitch a straight line 1/4″ smaller from the desired hem allowance. Step 2: Fold the stitch line to the wrong side of the fabric and press with an iron. Step 3: Return to your sewing machine and stitch directly on top of the first stitch line. Step 4: After stitching, press the entire hem with the iron again. Step 7: Stitch directly on top of the stitches on the inside of the garment. Braided Crafts. They are the emblem of girlish cuteness: braids -- as in pigtails, as in Laura Ingalls and Pippi Longstocking.
In pretty fabrics or yarns, they make adorable adornments. But braids can also be surprisingly sophisticated, especially in such unexpected applications as a clutch of richly textured necklaces, a skinny strappy belt, or a leather cuff bracelet that looks for all the world like something from a high-end boutique. If you've ever put your hair in plaits, you have the ability to make any one of these easy pieces -- just give yourself a little relaxing time to twist, weave, and achieve.
