Felt Koala Stuffie Second to paper, felt is my favorite crafting material. This is a new love for me and started when I realized there are different grades of felt and that means I never need to touch the scratchy synthetic felt that is all to common at craft stores. Testing different felts we know our favorite here in the design studio is a wonderful wool blend felt or a 100% wool felt. I am experimenting with a cotton felt and will give you an update on that when I have finished testing. Today’s felt project is the adorable little koala bear. Once you have the blanket stitch down this little guy is quite simple to make.

Let's Build A Dollhouse Sofa Let's Build a Dollhouse Sofa When you are just starting out with a new dollhouse, it takes a while to fill it with furniture. It would be great fun to buy everything, but this is not always feasible, so making some of the furniture is a good option. Upholstered furniture is relatively simple to make, you can make a dollhouse sofa with very little money out of just cardboard and fabric. I use spray starch and my iron where it is necessary to fold down the raw edges. You will notice that I have not given any measurements, thinking that you will all want different sizes, depending on the space you have to put it in. It is much easier for me to actually make a dollhouse sofa, than to explain in writing how to do it, so I have taken photographs and given step by step instuctions with each photo. For the sake of simplicity, this sofa has one seat pad and one back cushion, you can have two or three cushions. As well you can change the shape of the arms or add a pleated / frilly skirt.
embroidery basics Not too long ago, someone asked me for advice on keeping the back side of her embroidery neat and pretty. She was going to be stitching some tea towels and wanted the back to look nice. This made me very excited that she was thinking about this. When the back of your work will show, you really get self-conscious about this sort of thing. It's been a while since I asked my friend Olive to help out, but since she loves tidy embroidery, I thought it would be a good idea to invite her along. Calm down, Olive! Now, that's KNOT to say that working without knots is a bad idea. But I've been using a few options for secure stitching that's tidy (and doesn't have much waste). This first one starts with a knot. As you work, use the backs of the stitches to hold down the tail coming off the knot. Sometimes you need to hold the tail in place, or move it into a good position so it can be held down, but you'll end up with it sort of weaving around back and forth between the stitch backs.
Mesures pour un patron Les schémas reproduits ici sont extraits de « L’encyclopédie féminine des ouvrages » chez Denoël ; © « Culture, art, loisirs », Paris 1969. Ils montrent les différents points de mesures qu’il faut prendre pour dessiner un patron ou adapter un patron existant. Sans doute parce qu’en 1969 les femmes en portaient peu, il n’y a malheureusement pas les mesures pour un pantalon. Pour prendre ces mesures, il faut porter les sous-vêtements habituels… et rien d’autre, ou un tee-shirt moulant. Un conseil : noter toutes ces mesures sur un carnet (ou un fichier) et les conserver précieusement, pour ne pas devoir les reprendre à chaque nouvelle réalisation. Nouer un ruban à la taille : il permet de prendre les mesures B, J, L, P et Q. Pour choisir la taille d’un patron, il faut prendre celle qui correspond au tour de poitrine (C) pour le corsage et au tour de hanche (D) pour la jupe. Les mesures utilisées par le patron sont, en principe, standard et indiquées sur le patron lui-même.
How To Make A Vintage Miniature Stove This is the picture of the stove I copied for the Kitchen Room Box. It's from "Better Homes and Gardens", April, 1941. I find these magazines at antique malls, it's good to have a few. I would really like to have some magazines from the 1920's, but those are hard to find and cost more. This stove will be made from basswood. It is painted with oil base enamel. Use wood glue for everything, until I mention the tacky. First you will need a block of wood measuring 3 1/16" wide, 2 9/16" high and 1 13/16" deep. Cut a bottom, this is the toe kick, 3 1/4" wide, 1 5/8" deep and 3/8" high. Cut a back 3 1/4" wide and 3" high from 3/32" thick basswood. Cut the top 3 1/4" x 1 29/32" from 3/32" stock. Doors. Sides. For the light on the back use 3/32" stock and cut 1 piece 1/2" x 1/2". Using fine sandpaper soften the front and side edges of the top. Glue the 1/2" x 1/2" piece to center edge of back splash. Mask off the silver painted holes in the top. Let everything dry. I want to give you a tip.
Dictionary of Embroidery Stitches I hope you find this needlework dictionary useful and with it able to improve your hand embroidery skills. To assist those who are new to the craft of hand embroidery I have categorised each stitch as to its degree of difficulty. An icon of a single pair of scissors indicates that the stitch is easy to work and you should not hesitate to try it. If you are new to learning needlework. If you see two scissors, the stitch requires more skill. If you normally have problems following embroidery illustrations the computer can help you.
