Vintage Inspired Dinner Roll Holder Tutorial - Gingercake. We always did a pretty fancy Thanksgiving at our house growing up.
One of my favorite parts was helping to set the table the day before before the main event. Mom would bring out her china, polish the silver, and iron the linens. She must have washed all the linens first and then set about to iron (mom, you can correct me later about this!) Because I loved watching her transform things from wrinkly lumps to beautifully pressed fancy linens. My favorite by far was the fabric dinner roll holder. The Cath Kidston oven gloves pattern. This is a reworking of an everyday essential: even if you prefer heating up ready meals to baking wholemeal bread and trays of cupcakes, you'll need to have an oven glove!

I've been really admiring all the beautiful yarn wrapped wreaths everyone has been making, so I decided I'd use my plain wreath form and make one myself.
I got started wrapping and after about 5 minutes, realized I did not have the patience (or attention span) to complete it. Not wanting to let the wreath go to waste, I started brainstorming and decided to still make a wrapped wreath but with vintage sheets. Owl Doorstop Directions.

Scrap It: Gift Card Case or Biz Card Holder. Ahhhhh, the gift card.
It seems to be such a common choice, and not just as a last minute grab for someone hard to shop for. Gift cards appear to be the go-to gift for anyone and any occasion. Let's face it - they're easy to find, quick to buy, come in any denomination, and are... stunningly impersonal. Maybe it's just me, but a gift card seems to say, "I couldn't really be bothered to find you a present; how about you go get yourself a little something? " But who am I to rain on the gift-giving parade?! Our gift card holders finish at 9¼" x 2¾" flat and 4" x 2¾" folded. Travel Accessories: Curling Iron/Flat Iron Case. Don't know about you, but when I travel, not matter how organized I try to be, I'm always hurrying to finish packing my toiletries and make-up.
I'm also usually trying to fix my hair at the last minute, which means there sits my flat iron... too hot to pack! This gave us the idea for today's accessory: the hot tool case. It contains two hidden layers of metalized thermal batting. It looks pretty from the outside and is protective from the inside, so you can pack your curling or flat iron while warm... and still catch your plane on time! Sock Dog Tutorial.

Hanging storage solutions. Pillows. Fabric storages. Ein Pferdchen mit vier Beinen. Viele haben mich nach dem Muster für die Dalapferdchen gefragt, und wie man den Tierchen denn vier Beine machen kann.
Da ich gerade ein Pferdchen in Auftrag hatte, habe ich versucht anhand von diesem eine bebilderte Anleitung zu schreiben. 1. Pferd zeichnen (nach dem Original, einem Bild, einer Backform, ...) = Seitliches Körperteil. Den unteren Teil des Pferdes ein zweites Mal abzeichnen, bis etwa 1 cm oberhalb der Bauchlinie = Unteres Körperteil. 2. 3. 4. 5. Autumn leaves. Bei uns wäre auf heute eigentlich Sonne vorausgesagt gewesen, stattdessen sitzen wir im Nebel.

Wag Doll: A Well Dressed Sewing Machine - Cover Tutorial. A Well Dressed Sewing Machine - Cover Tutorial My poor sewing machine works hard and has to put up with my creative tantrums and cursing, so it's time to show some love by making a pretty little cover for it. Dust and fluff can cause havoc with the internal workings of your sewing machine so always try and cover it, or keep it stored in a cupboard. This machine was supplied with a plastic cover when I bought it, but there was always an air of 'body bag' about it... *shudder* Not content to do things the easy way, I decided I wanted a cover with access to the carry handle on the machine.

Bird Mobile — Spool Sewing. I had been toying with the idea of a mobile project and our adorable bird pattern seemed the perfect fit. Sew Liberated: birds on a branch in the baby's room. I'm so pleased with how this turned out! The pictures don't do it justice (and the walls of the room aren't gray - they're a very, very subtle sage green. So subtle that anyone with normal vision would call the color cream). I used the free bird softie pattern from Spool, scrap fabric, and a branch from our backyard.
The birds are kept in place by that demi-god of the crafting world, hot glue. The branch is hung from the molding with near-invisible fishing wire. The Spool pattern shows the birds made into a mobile, but this branch worked better for us. Matryoshka Doll Pincushion. Hot Dog Door Stop. February 21st, 2009 Email. Critters That Keep Out the Cold. This photo originally appeared in FamilyFun Magazine Total Time 2 to 3 hours Ages school-age Stationed in a window or up against a door this winter, these charming homemade draft blockers will help keep indoor temperatures up and fuel bills down -- provided they don't get coaxed off the job for a playdate, that is.
