Ric-Rac: 1 hour bag- tutorial

Ric-Rac: 1 hour bag- tutorial
This bag is so easy ! This is the new bag I made to take back to work this term. It took less than an hour from choosing the fabric to dumping my junk in it. In fact this tutorial took waaaayyy longer than the bag ! This pattern is on a piece of A4 paper so I'm sure you can work it out from that. You will need: Using the pattern piece and cutting on the fold of your fabrics. 2 pieces in your handbag fabric2 pieces in your lining fabric2 pieces in wadding or batting to give your bag a bit of body.1 magnetic purse snap (optional)2 x 6 1/2 inch squares of fabric for the pocket (optional).2 strips of fabric 3 inches x approx 29 inches for the strap1 strip of wadding about 2 1/2 inches by 292 large Buttons Start with the pocket. Turn right sides out through the gap. . Pin your pocket to the right side of one of your bag linings. I like to do two lines - looks good and adds a bit of strength too. Sew around the sides and base of the bag with a 1/4 inch seam. Sew around the top opening of the bag. Related:  Sewing

CALCULADORA DE SAPONIFICACIÓN - ELABORACION DE JABONES AYUDA (Puedes comentar o leer comentarios aquí) La calculadora es un instrumento útil a la hora de hacer jabón. No solo nos indica la cantidad de sosa que tenemos que usar para determinada combinación de grasas si no que puede predecir el resultado de la mezcla. Primero los conceptos: El índice de saponificación SAP nos indica la cantidad, en gramos, de KOH (Hidróxido potásico) para saponificar un gramo de esta grasa. Nosotros solemos utilizar NaOH (Hidróxido Sódico) para jabones duros y es por esto que el valor que necesitamos es el resultado de dividir el valor de KOH por 1,4025. En resumen: 1,4025 g KOH equivale a 1 g NaOH. El índice de yodo es la medida de insaturación de una grasa. El valor INS determina la compatibilidad de esta grasa con el jabón. Si una grasa tiene uno de estos valores muy por debajo o por encima de lo deseado habría que combinarla con otra que tenga valores opuestos para promediar. Quiero diferenciar estas dos partes: En resumen: volver arriba

Quillow Tutorial | a cuppa and a catch up Quillow |kwi – lo| noun1: a quilt that folds into a pillow2: a pillow that unfolds into a quilt. So, it seems quite a few of you were keen to get the ‘how to’ on the Quillow I made recently :) This is the first quillow that I have made and I took process shots along the way so I could share the ‘how to’ of making a quillow if it worked out when I’d finished, which it did! Hurrah! I am certain there are other, better ways, but I’m happy to share how I made mine & would love to hear if you have an alternative way as I am sure I will make another. After I had made it I had a thought that I guess it makes more sense to have the hidden pocket part (the part the quillow folds into) on the back of the quilt but I chose to have the pocket for the pillow on the front side as I was backing with chenille and was worried it might have been a bit bulky with an extra layer of chenille to fold in. Quillow Tutorial So first, here’s the basics… All seams ¼” unless otherwise stated. Step 1. Step 2. Step 3.

How to Sew a Reversible Cowl Scarf Madigan made… finally figured how out to make a cowl scarf! See my cute scarf and big smile? That’s not at all like the sad face I had last winter… where I failed miserably to make a reversible cowl. Today is Day Four of Simple Scarf Week and I couldn’t get through this week without figuring out how to make a reversible scarf! (Did you miss my cowl scarves from sweaters, the t-shirt infinity scarf or my fluffy pleated fleece scarf? I’ve been on the look out for fun plaids or prints that I could use for my reversible scarf reattempt. So when I saw these contrasting checked scarves at the dollar store, I snatched them up and knew they could make a cute reversible scarf! I’m seeing buffalo check prints used more and more these days. Let me show you how I figured it out how to make this cowl… Supplies: 2 strips of fleece (mine were ready-made scarves that I cut down to about 32” in length and they were about 12" wide) Sewing machine Coordinating thread How to sew a reversible cowl scarf:

Watch Me Daddy: Felt Flower Scarf Tutorial Thank you for all of the sweet love on my Felt Flower Scarf! Really, my goodness, I didn't expect so many people to be interested in it. I'm happy to share this tutorial for you on how to make one of your own! Materials needed: 1/2 yard of 72" Felt or Felted Wool (this measurement is to be safe... but you'll end up with some extra here for sure.) Let's get started shall we? 1. Start by cutting your long scarf piece. Now, cut a scallop around the edge of your long scarf piece. Next, circle cutting mania. Each flower will have 6 circles. DO NOT spend the time cutting out perfect circles. Now scallop all of the circles. 2. Stack your 5 largest circles. Take your knotted needle and thread and come up through the stack of circles just off-center. Now go back down through the stack about 1/2 inch away, on the other side of center. Pull very tightly, you will see this gathers your flower up. Now make an X. Tie a few strong knots, but do not cut your thread. This is how your flower will look so far. 3.

Usted SEW Girl: Nuevos patrones, un poco de renovación y cómo (por accidente) casi derribó un avión que transportaba a 180 pasajeros. The pattern is called "Beauty Case", after the original inspiration for the design. It's designed for confident sewing skills (if you can set a sleeve in, keep an even seam allowance, know your way around your sewing machine etc, you qualify as "confident"), but I've tested it on a few self-classified basic-to-intermediate sewing gals, and they made themselves some spiffy new beauty cases, while learning a few new tricks. It'll be ready for shops to order by the end of the week, all going well. When I was a kid, my mother had a beauty case, even though she never wore make-up. At some point in mid-primary school, I was given a beauty case for a birthday or Christmas. For Homespun, the bag was called a "craft tote" and it would indeed be perfect for carrying crafty projects on the go, but I don't think it stops there. In other revamping news, I've also finished the revised Poppet pattern. And there was a spot of revamping in the hair department. So... Ahem... yes... well..

The frugal heating pad. - Surviving and Thriving | Surviving and Thriving Recently our heater went on the blink. The heating company that DF prefers wasn’t able to give us an appointment for almost two weeks – unless, that is, we wanted to pay extra for an after-hours visit. Nope, we didn’t, even though temperatures dropped into the mid-20s at night and only into the high 40s during the day. We had plenty of split wood so we kept the fireplace insert stoked. Nothing froze. And when I wasn’t? The rice sock, also known as “the frugal heating pad,” made all the difference in the world. Rice, rice baby It’s a pretty simple to make: Pour raw rice onto a sock or a cloth bag, tie it shut and microwave it until it’s very warm. Rice isn’t the only possible medium. Last year, shortly before I moved back to Alaska, a severe windstorm knocked out the power in Anchorage. The fireplace insert blazed then, too – with a clay baking dish atop its ledge. Back in the day people used live coals inside a warming pan to heat their sheets.
