Stuffed Kangaroo Tutorial
Kangaroos this week... I made this big grey one who looks so huge next to the original (now safely on her way to the US). I promised you all the pattern for this project ~ you can find it here, sorry it is a bit scribbly and there is no scale on it but i don't think it matters too much ~ remember tho the smaller you make it the more fiddly it is. ~Now how to put it together~ The Joey and the mother are made in basically the same way, start with the Joey because you will need to put it in the pouch and sew it in (to make sure it fits) before you finish the adult. Start with your two front sections and sew (I blanket stitched) the centre seam from neck to tail - top to bottom. (this is me sewing in the car while i wait for the big girl to finish her piano lesson) Join in the first main body section starting at the base of the tail. From the base of the tail, sew along the length and keep going up and round its back ~ remember to leave a decent opening for stuffing.

Shirt Darts « SewingArtistry.com
This Burda pattern is really good – if your BWOF goes back to 2008 – Good For You! It’s a great GREAT pattern. What’s hidden in here that you can’t see is a dart on the outside seam of the bib feature. And then the curved under bust seam is just an additional place to do some smart darting. This shows where the darting is done so you can really tweak this little jewel and make a very nice fit. This is the first iteration of this pattern and turned out beautifully – just straight out of the magazine. The difference between the first and second version may seem minor, but see how clean that side line is and how beautifully this fits on the side and just under the bust? This pattern is really a great refinement of the FBA (front bust alteration/dart) and it shows it. Here’s another version just to show you how versatile these patterns can be – this one is washed dupioni and made into a tunic – peplum type look. Starting from the upper left – this is Simplicity 2339. Tacky aren’t I!
Felt Owl Ornaments
I haven’t made that much this Christmas. I might make a few last minute gifts, but I feel I have to get most of the shopping out of the way first... especially the online stuff that needs to be shipped. And no outfits for the kids like last year. But I did do a little felt hand sewing. Anyway, these are the little owl ornaments I made. Download Owl ornament and all you do is cut it out from felt and sew however you’d like. I love ‘em. Enjoy! *****NOTE: I forgot to mention on the pattern about ric rac.

DIY Faux Curled Rosewood Wreath {Made From Rolled Recycled Book Pages}
I have seen various versions of Faux Rosewood Wreaths in just about every store and catalog for the upcoming season; most with a price tag running upwards of $40 or more. Some are crafted of paper and other of real wood shavings. Last year I made a few rolled flower gift toppers from recycled book pages and they remind me so much of the curled wood roses I thought they would make a good substitute. {with a much lower price tag} Materials Needed:Foam Wreath FormRecycled Book PagesLots of Hot GlueRibbon to Hang The full step by step tutorial I posted last year can be found {here}.Basically you layer three book pages together and draw a spiral circle. Starting with the outside of the spiral, roll the paper inward to create the flower shape. Give the wreath form a light coat of white {or light color} spray paint to help camouflage any see-through spaces. It seriously takes quite a few roses to fill the entire wreath, however I think the finished project has such a unique look. {Simply Lovely}
