No-sew Leather Pencil Case. I have been feeling slightly under the weather this week.
A lack of energy, a cold, sleepy, headachy... and I got slightly frustrated about it. So many things I wanted to do. So many unfinished projects on my table and in my head... At least, yesterday, I managed to get this one out of the way. Taking pictures, scanning and transferring the template actually took me much longer than finishing the project. This no-sew leather pencil case makes a perfect last minute gift. If you want to make one too, here are the - very brief - instructions. Embellish {a blog by Laura Wadsworth} Ugly bunny pincushion and bag charm (with patterns) Making a pincushion is a delicate task.
Ofcourse, you don't want to make it so cute that you don't want to jab your collection of pointy things in it. On the other hand, you'll also want to make it look cool enough, otherwise you're reminded of your failed project every time you go crafting! My last pincushion suffered from the latter problem, so it was time to make a new one. So without much further ado, I bring you... The Ugly Bunny!
And if you want to make your own ugly bunny, just grab a skein of obnoxiously colored yarn and get started! Crochet - Collar Pattern.

Presentrosetter av tygband – Fabric gift bows. En gång i tiden lärde jag mig göra egna rosetter av presentband.
På Pinterest och i bloggvärlden har jag på sistone sett exempel på presentrosetter gjorda av både tidningspapper, filt, kartor och måttband. Det gav mig en idé. Jag som har så många fina tygband hemma, varför inte testa göra rosetter av dem? Jag klippte 6 längder av varje band. Hur långa längder det ska vara beror på bredden på bandet, man får helt enkelt testa sig fram. I cut 6 strips of each ribbon. Tygrosetterna kan man använda på paket, som en brosch, på ett gratulationskort eller sy fast på ett hårband kanske?

Soft craft / Pretty smocking. How to Seam Granny Squares. April 19th, 2012 by Jess I love granny squares because they make it so easy to play with exciting colors.
Often, my squares end up with different colored borders, so how do I choose a shade to seam them? The answer’s easy: I can use any color because I use an invisible seam! This super easy technique creates a durable seam that disappears into your crocheting. Ready to get started? Step 1: Gather your materials: finished granny squares, a blunt needle, and your seaming yarn (I used a contrasting yarn for demonstration, but you may want to use matching yarn). Step 2: Insert your needle into your first crochet stitch from the back to the front. Step 3: Repeat Step 2 on the opposite side. Sewing and Crafts / Handmade paper roses. Paper Rose Wedding Bouquet. This project, using paper roses to create a bouquet, has been on my mind since I posted the first paper rose tutorial.
It is timeless and elegant and though I show it here in the white, it could easily be made in any color or even multiple colors by printing the template on a colored letter weight paper.
