: Ghost-in-a-box I schemed up these little guys a while back, and a whole flock of them will be in the shop update on Tuesday. Back to work on dolls and such! Have a Happy Weekend, and I'll be back with more very soon. xoxo Design*Sponge » Blog Archive » sewing 101: making a pouf Add a burst of color to your room with this crafty pouf! At 17” wide and 10” deep, it’s large enough to serve as floor seating or a foot stool. (And if you have pets, I have a feeling they may want to make this their new favorite spot!) This project is a little challenging to sew, but it’s not too difficult, so if you’re comfortable with the basics of sewing, give it a try. You can make a colorwheel effect with a range of solid colors, or choose a variety of patterned fabrics for a louder patchwork effect. Medium-weight cottons work well for this design (check out quilting shops for great selections of solids and prints). I love the idea of making a set of these poufs in a range of sizes, for a sculptural stack of cushions that will become a room element in their own right. CLICK HERE for the full how-to after the jump! Finished Dimensions: 17” diameter by 10” tall What You’ll Need ¼ yard each 12 coordinating fabrics (I used quilting cottons) 1 yard muslin 3 pounds fiberfill stuffing iron 1.
To market, to market… A Market Bag Tutorial This is my first tutorial, and it comes during the same week that I’ve given up coffee, so hopefully this makes sense (and if it doesn’t, let me know and let’s just blame it on the lack of caffeine!) I make two versions of this market bag, and I use both on a daily basis. I made a number of one style recently, as shown here and here. These have side panels and end up measuring about 15″ across when laid flat. In any case, my sister has one of these bags, and continues to tell me that it doesn’t perfectly fit all the items she typically packs in there. This tutorial will be for the second version, which seems easier to make, as it requires less sewing and cutting. Market Bag Tutorial To start, I select two coordinating fabrics. Next you’ll cut out the pieces for the bag. I use a piece of interfacing on each of the bottom pieces for a little added support. Now on to the sewing – I usually start with the lining, but the order really makes no difference. You’ll now have a very basic bag.
Tutorial and Pattern: Rainbow Sunshine Plushie (and a little fair[l]y [ugly] tale about patents) I want to begin this tutorial with a little story. One day there was a little organic cotton rainbow be-ribbonedplushie that was sketched and then stitched with love in a very messy upstairs room in a home somewhere in Minneapolis. It was a happy little plushie, made all the more so by the creation of its 3 identical siblings who sat on a sunny windowsill with the little plushie, keeping it company. Three of these four happy little plushies were placed in an Etsy shop, where they could be adopted by a good family, where they might be mooshed and drooled on and thrown over the sides of a crib and loved by a baby new to this world, much like the little plushies. They sat in that little shop, anxiously awaiting their new family for not much more than a week, when suddenly a nasty, ugly, bullying corporate lawyer informed them they could not be placed for adoption because apparently they were infringing upon some stupid, damn patent or other.
Tutorial: Sprocket Pillows These are my favorite new pillows. They are fast and unbelievably easy to make…and I hope you love them as much as I do. I did my best to simplify the instructions/pattern so they are beginner friendly, and super fun to make. If you’ve never worked with a template or curves, and your nervous about it…these pillows are a perfect place to start. The only problem with them is that you can’t make just one…trust me …I tried. There are pattern templates for two sizes: Click the link below to download the pattern templates *For best results, print the templates directly from google docs (click file on the left and print). ** Please do not re-post the link to these templates on your own website! You will also need: Large fabric scraps for the top wedges, a 5" x width of fabric strip for the middle (plus a little extra for the large size), a fat quarter for the back, a bag of poly-fill stuffing, and a button and thread for the center.

Denim Circle Pillow- Tutorial, Part 1 For MORE Denim projects and ideas on how to use your RECYCLED JEANS, visit my new website: www.InventiveDenim.com! For Part 2, Go HEREFor Part 3, Go HERE Here are the supplies you will need: 1. 1. It’s important to use 100% cotton or close to it (97%, 99%). Next, cut open each leg at one seam. You now have two usable pieces of fabric from one pair of jeans. Cutting the Denim Circles? ****BIG TIP! TRACING Method: I used a 6 1/2” plastic circle template to make the cardboard template seen below. As you see, I can “typically” get eight circles from one leg but in in cases where the legs are especially tapered you may only get six (i.e. smaller sized jeans). OLFA CIRCLE CUTTING Method: You will need one Olfa Rotary Circle Cutter (CMP-3). It works just like a compass from math class. The video can be found here (video) . They do a good job explaining how to set it up for measuring, etc. Here are my two best TIPS: 1. Assembly: 1. Align a ruler with the circle, 1” from edge. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.
Cloth Doll Making by Runo Dollmaker Sleeves, Necklines, Collars, and Dress Types | She's in Fashion I’ve recently ventured into drafting patterns starting from my basic bodice and skirt sloper. The fit issues are minimal, since the sloper is made skin tight. Design ease is added as you go along. I found these reference pictures useful for ideas on basic sleeves, necklines, collars, and dress types. These are from Vogue Sewing, circa 1982.

Flossie Teacakes: The Three Bears' Sleeping Bag PDF Pattern I'm so delighted that my Three Bears' Sleeping Bag PDF pattern is finally ready to share with you. I first started making sleeping bags for childrens' toys a few years ago at the request of a friend and we've since given them countless times for other childrens' birthdays as well as making them for the many bears and creatures that my own children have in their rooms. For younger children they're the perfect thing to appeal to their love of taking care of things and playing at being a mummy or daddy, while for older children, tucking their bear up safely in bed before they go off to school seems to be something that they'll habitually do until an older age than you might think. From a sewing perspective what's nice about making these sleeping bags is that for someone who is interested in trying quilting, it's a bite-sized, unintimidating first project and for seasoned quilters it's an opportunity to create something really intricate if that's what you enjoy.

Ring Tutorial- Beaded Wrapped Stone Ring This tutorial is for a Spiral wrapped Beaded Stone Ring. This ring is one of my favorites to make. It's pretty, elegant, versatile, and relatively easy to make. So lets get started! Supplies needed- -2, 8 to10 inches 20 Gauge wire -1, 4mm round stone -6, 2mm or 3mm beads -A ring mandrel (or some type of rod) -Wire snips -Chain nose pliers To Start, take your lengths of wire and lay them across the number of the size that you need your ring to be. Wrap both wires around the mandrel once. Turn the top wires down and the bottom wires up. Add 3 of your smaller beads to the very top wire and round the wire down. Repeat with the very bottom wire, adding stones, and round the wire up. Remove your ring from the mandrel. Begin wrapping the wire ends around the base of the ring, like so... Once Wrapped 2 or 3 times, give the wires a snip. Press down your loose ends. Repeat to the other side. Once done you can manipulate the wires a bit to lay nicely next to the stone. Then admire your finished ring! Enjoy!
