Galet en dentelle
For quite some time now we have been mesmerized and inspired by the work of the unsurpassable artist Margaret Oomen - we are particularly drawn to her crocheted stones. Her creations and her talent leave us absolutely speechless, as does her wonderfully kind personality. Resurrection Fern is her blog about her life as a mother of four, rural physician and textile designer. She also has an Etsy Shop where you can purchase her gorgeous crocheted stones (if you're quick enough since they go so quickly!) as well as beautiful still-life photographs of her crocheted stones. Today marks a very special day for us because Margaret generously agreed to create an exclusive Crocheted Stone pattern for Purl Bee readers (pictured above). The Materials The Pattern In this tutorial I will show you how to crochet a cover for a smooth sea or river stone inspired by the lovely sea urchin. Step 1: Make a chain 10 stitches long. Step 2: Chain 1, single crochet (sc) from the center of the circle 12 times.

tutorials Okay, guys. This is my first tutorial, and it's pretty basic. If you have any questions, please ask them in the comments and I'll respond. It's instructions for making a tool belt apron like the one I mentioned in an earlier post. The tool belt apron was one of the first things I ever made and there is no pattern. These are one of the projects that are ideal for using up vintage sheets. If you have a side seam left on the sheet, cut it off. Make a double fold along the bottom edge of the fabric and iron it in place. Once you have it ironed, sew a straight stitch the whole way across to make the hem. I usually make the pockets about 7 inches deep, but you can play around with it to see what suits you. Once you have your fabric lined up the way you want it, iron it in place and then make a small double fold along both short sides. At this point, the apron should look something like this. You have all the edges finished and one long pocket running across the front. And voila!

doily canvas bag Thankfully everyone seems to be making a switch from plastic to lasting when it comes to shopping bags, so here’s another fun little tutorial on customizing one to make it oh so cute. You might notice a lot of doilies in my recent diy projects. Since I was getting so many ready for A Christmas Gathering I used a lot of the same materials…monograms seems to be pretty popular now too. My friend Cindy called while I was working on this and suggested I just go ahead a put a “W” on it for her, I happily obligied. Canvas bag ($2.00 when on sale at Hobby Lobby), fabric paint, paper doily, Krylon Paper Finishes Adhesive Spray : Spray doily with paper spray adhesive and press down on the bag (not shown). : Gently paint over the holes – I recommend paint meant for fabric, not crafts. : Peel back doily before paint dries. Bag after doily is removed I traced on my letter and filled it in with paint. For a cook: fill it with cooking supplies For a gardner: fill it with gardening supplies
