My laptop bag tutorial on Sew Mama Sew!
I was so excited when Beth from Sew Mama Sew! invited me to contribute to their Back to School month of projects. I thought it would be the perfect time to actually make the laptop bag I wanted for quite some time. So today finally the tutorial went live at Sew mama Sew, and Jessica also posted about it in her blog How About Orange, could this day get any better? I am actually working on a passport pouch and checkcover to match the bag so wen I go to Chile in september I can take all of them with me and of course I will share the how-to’s for you to do the same if you’d like! But for now let’s start with the laptop bag! And to all of you visiting from Sew Mama Sew! I hope you all have a wonderful day! * This tutorial is provided for personal use only.

Tissue case tutorial I’ve used my new sewing machine to make these very simple tissue cases from scrap of linen fabrics. They are basically a lined fabric rectangle folded to meet at the center. I make the outer fabric longer than the lining fabric so it automatically folded inside, because I don’t like the lining fabric showing at the edge. It also eliminates the need of topstitching. The tutorial is only two pages, but please tell me if something is not clear in it.

Book cover tutorial (image heavy) My books are among one of my most prized possessions. I love to read, just about anything from the silly and childish to the tear jerking and latest craze. So I have (finally--I know, I know) put together this super-duper easy Book Cover tutorial, that any level sewer seamstress can do, for any size book, hey you can even hand stitch it! Materials: -Outer fabric (I used canvas) -Inner fabric (I used cotton) -Lightweight fusible interfacing -Brown or butcher paper -Pencil -Ruler -Trim's (lace, buttons, rickrack) optional -1/4" seams where used thruout. Cut out (or piece together) a piece of paper larger than your book, height and width wise. Wrap paper around your book, crease and mark the edges with a pencil. Now, you are going to add your seam and inner flap allowances.I added 1/2" to the top and bottom, and 2 1/2" to each side (for inner flap). And now, the fun part! So I attached my bright cherry red rickrack in place. (almost done!) Your all done!!! Doesn't your book look nice and cozy now?

Made By Marzipan First we’ll cut the inner fabric pieces. This is what will show when your case is opened. All pieces will be cut to the same width: measure the Width of your device and add 1 inch. For an iPod Touch or newer iPhone, cut the pieces to 3.25 W x 5.75 L3.25 W x 5.25 L3.25 W x 4.0 L Now we’ll make the corner pockets. Fold the squares in half to create triangles and press. Now we’ll sew together our inner fabric pieces. Next we’ll make our tab closure. Now we can cut the rectangle of outer fabric. With the sewn inner fabric face up, place the tab along the center edge of the shortest rectangle. Then lay the outer fabric face down on top of the the inner fabric and pin in place. Trim the edge of the tab if necessary. Now we’ll cut the inserts. We’re going to cut the chipboard into five pieces. Before inserting, we’ll add some batting to protect the device. Slide the short insert into the case and work it down to the bottom. Next add a binding piece. Fold the raw edges inward.

Doily Lace Candle Votive Tutorial I have had a doily table runner laying around the house forever. It didn't look right on our table so I didn't know what to do with it. I ended up using it to make the candle votives on our night stand a little prettier. Now, this tutorial can be done in several other ways. Lace can be used instead of a doily. Vases or mason jars can be used instead of candle votives. What you'll need: Doily or Lace Votive(s) Scissors Hot Glue Gun Fabric Stiffener (optional) If the fabric you are using frays easily, you will want to spray it with some fabric stiffener before you begin. Once the fabric is trimmed to the correct measurements, wrap it around the votive and secure with hot glue. And that's it! The DIY post I have coming up next is a yummy recipe for Raspberry Ice Cream Cake.

(un clic dessus pour mieux voir) Father’s Day DIY: Embossed leather tag and tie clip by Jane Trash What you’ll need: Embossed Leather Tag KitPencilPaperLow-tack painter’s tapeWooden block or rulerHammer or malletCutting boardX-ACTO knife Leather is more receptive to being stamped when it’s damp. Dip your leather pieces into a bowl of water. They don’t need to soak, just dampen them. Let the leather dry. Try a few mock-up drawings before you start. I found if difficult to eyeball the layout because it’s very easy for a few letters to be crooked and make the whole piece look wonky. Hold your ruler or wooden block on the tape line and put your letter punch up against the flat surface to ensure straight, properly lined-up lettering. It’s hammer time. Working on a proper cutting board will absorb a lot of the sound. Gently peel off your layout material. Loop your leather cord through the hole to complete your luggage tag. Use an epoxy to glue your small leather-stamped piece to your tie clip.
