Pixie Dust Lap Blanket. This is a where-did-you-get-this?! Kind of blanket. Big, loopy stitches; hand dyed, extraordinary color; and smatterings of sparkly "pixie dust" all conspire to make this no ordinary blanket. The yarn comes from the incredibly creative yarn company, Knit Collage. We used their super funky Handspun Yarn to knit up the Fun Kid's Hat last spring, and now we're turning our attention to their more subdued (relatively speaking!)
Pixie Dust yarn. A blend of wool and mohair, Pixie Dust is a handspun, ultra bulky yarn that really sparks the imagination. You won't be the only one who thinks your new blanket is awfully cuddily. I can't think of an easier way to makeover a room than to whip up this show stopper. The Materials 7 skeins of Knit Collage's Pixie Dust, a blend of Wool, Mohair and Pixie Sparkles. Other Ideas! We also knit up the Pixie Dust Lap Blanket in a cool white "Snowflake" version. Or try doubling up Knit Collage's Sister. The Pattern Gauge 1 stitch = approximately 1 inch in 1 x 1 rib. Tassels! Tassels!! Tutorials!!! 這幾個待完成的流蘇已經在我桌上排隊很久了.... 前幾天終於下定決心將它們一口氣全部"解決掉"! 這個Italian Knotted Tassels實在太可愛了！ 我將它們綁在這裡.... 掛在燈罩外面似乎也是一個不錯的選擇 尤其喜歡這幾個流蘇垂掛著可愛的模樣 我的Ruskin Lace也等著流蘇的完成 這回我先試綁一個然後看看效果如何 還加了一個半圓形的Buttonhole Stitch 這樣像不像一個正等待被送出的禮物呢? 綁在角落似乎好一點 但因為顏色太搶眼，我決定捨棄那半個圈圈 這是我最後的決定，簡單的流蘇綁在四個角落...完成!!! 我說當然沒問題，只是...我不確定正不正確!?
總之這是我製作的方式，希望你也覺得有用！ Let's start! 材料可以是任何種類的線或繩子 You can use any kind of thread for tassels. 這裡我使用深淺三種不同顏色的線+一小片不織布 I'm useing 3 different colour thread (light-medium-dark) and a small piece of felt for making the tassel head. 從中間顏色的那綑線中抽出約40"的線 對折再對折後每條線大約10"（圖左邊） 然後將剩餘的線整綑直接對折（圖右邊） Take a piece of medium colour thread-about 40 inches long, fold it in half and in half again. Fold the rest of the skein in half. 用你抽出來對折再對折的線將剩下的一綑線從中間綁起來(第一個結) Use that thread to tie the whole skein in the middle. 剪一小長條不織布(注意到兩頭寬度不一樣了嗎？) Cut a small piece of felt, make sure one end is narrower than the other end. 用這片不織布將流蘇纏繞起來 Wrap the tassel with this piece of felt 用一般的手縫線將不織布固定 Sew the felt in position using regular sewing thread.
完成! 剪！ DIY Fox Scarf with Free Pattern. I’d like to introduce to my little friend here, Frédéric. He took one foggy afternoon to whip up and has been lazily resting on my shoulders ever since.

The best thing about this pattern is that you can make a variety of different animal scarves with it: raccoon, wolf, or skunk perhaps?
Round out the snout and ears to make it a bear or panda. The scarf length is also easily customizable to be longer or shorter.

Disney Dress Tutorials for Not-So-Grownups. As an avid Disney fan, one of my dreams is to make most of the iconic costumes worn by the princesses and heroines of Disney films.
However, it seems that most of the patterns and tutorials available are only for kids, and not many are screen-accurate. Finding patterns for adults (that aren't horribly skimpy) can be difficult, and tutorials are scattered far and wide on the vast expanse of the internet. But never fear! I have collected the best and most accurate tutorials I could find just for you lovely folks! This will be an ongoing collection, as I'll add more as I find them, and if you have suggestions, please leave them in the comments!

Cross-Stitch Family Portrait - Martha Stewart Crafts by Technique. How do you capture your clan in a more meaningful way? Try something pre-photography: Cross-stitch figures for each family member. This is far simpler than it might sound -- if you can sew on a button, you can cross-stitch. (The ability to count to 20 or so doesn’t hurt, either -- so yes, a dexterous grade-schooler could handle this.) Use graph paper to plan your people from head to toe -- or cowlick to sandal. Then thread your needle and start X-ing people off your list.
And for iPhone addicts scared off by something so nontech, just remember: There’s very little difference between a cross-stitch and a pixel. Use these clip art patterns as exact templates or as starting points for making figures that more closely resemble the people in your life. Sew CutePlot out your design on graph paper: One square represents one cross-stitch. Face factsWe found that it works well to make adults' heads 10 stitches across and kids' heads nine stitches across. Learn How to Cross-Stitch. Pattern: Snuggles the Penguin.

Needlebook tutorial by nanaCompany - nanaCompany.
Yay! Here's a little tutorial on how I make my needlebooks. They're super easy, fast, and fun... so let's get started. You'll need: 12- 1.5" fabric squares in assorted prints for patchwork back 1- base fabric for front: 3.5" x 4.5", appliqued/embroidered any way you like 1- strip of fabric for "book binding": 1.5" x 4.5" 1- inside fabric: 7.5" x 4.5" 1- piece of batting: 8" x 5" 2- pieces of felt 6.75" x 3.75", finished with decorative scissors if you like hair elastic or ribbon, and button Floss (I use perle cotton, no. 8) Use a scant 1/4" seam allowance throughout this tutorial...
How to: Step 1: I always start with the back patchwork. Step 2: Place patchwork back and "book binding' piece right sides facing and stitch together. Step 3: Now I do some handquilting with my perle cotton floss through the needlebook cover and the batting. Step 4: Sew the hair elastic or ribbon right on top of the patchwork end (centered), with the loop facing inward.
Step 8: Next, add your felt "pages. " Whew! Macaron Coin Purse. Just can’t help for not sewing these sweet little macaron coin purses when one of Craft Passion’s Facebook fans showed them to me. Thanks to XYZZhandmade for her inspiring handmade and some tutorial links in Japanese, this, this, this and this. No, I can’t read Japanese but I can guess from the pictures on how to sew it. Here is the English version of tutorial on how to sew this macaron coin purse where I have added more details in the sewing. The space inside the coin purse is quite limited but good enough to place some small jewelries like ear rings, rings; may be to keep some small coins, folded money; a place to keep small piece of note that wrote your shopping list and reminder etc. Or, simply use it as a key chain or hanging ornament. I have tried both nylon and metal zipper, each gave different feel and effect on the macaron coin purse.
August 2011. Hello everyone! I have a new project for anyone who'd like to make a felt needle book. This is a very easy pattern and only requires a basic blanket stitch to complete. These are fun to make for friends and always handy to have in your sewing basket. You will need: : Felt - I chose hand woven felt, but any will do, : Embroidery thread, : Seed beads : Snap Download the pattern pieces below and cut out one Needle Book Cover, one Needle Book Page, an Outer Petal and an Inner Petal. To make the flower, fold outer petal in half and, using a double strand of embroidery thread, take a few tight stitches right in the centre of the fold. Do the same with the inner petal, and bring the thread up through the centre. Lay the outer petal behind the inner petal and attach seed beads to the centre, making sure to take the needle through both layers of felt. Place the 'page' onto the wrong side of the needle book cover - right side up.
Fold in half and line up the pages and edges of the cover.
