Chop Chop: A Clever Little Wrap We promised you a little project. Using up scraps from yesterday's apron. And what a clever little project it is! Need a clue? Why a chopstick case, of course! And these aren't just any chopsticks. Ukihashi's special angled tips ensure they never touch the tabletop, and that you won't need a chopstick rest! Then again, we aren't all chopstick lovers, are we? Want a case of your own? Visual learner? 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. That's it! We think this case would be a great way to wrap up a special pair of chopsticks as a gift. A little too feminine for you?
coussinatikamadura a quilt is nice: rounded quilt corners tutorial Lately (if you haven't noticed) I have really been into roundedcorners on my quilts. I really like how it looks, and how it seems to soften the quilt-- which I especially love for baby quilts. The great thing about rounded corners is you don't have to do mitered corners on your binding. The bad part is you MUST use bias binding. (there are many tutorials out there on how to make continuous binding...i'm hoping to get a tutorial up soon on how I do it. Most everyone does it the same way). Rounding your corners is super duper easy peasy. Here's how I do it. and square it up. next, I fold my quilt in half, and find a rounded object (I use a bowl or lid...or a toy that's floating around my sewing space) that gives you a good curve on your corner. trace your arc with a disappearing ink pen, or a pencil like I use because I have misplaced my pen. using scissors, cut your curve (I do two layers at once). repeat tracing the arc and cutting on the other two corners of your quilt. that's it.
How To Make Leg Warmers or Boot Socks October 20, 2011 6:13 am Wow! I’ve been absent a while! I absolutely love layers. Feel free to accessorize however you like. So cute and stylish and much easier then stuffing your leg and jeans into a tight sock. I hope you all have a beautiful weekend.

Sandra Betzina, TV host and author, advises, "Ignore the instructions that came with your pattern. In her book Power Sewing Step-by-Step, Sandra gives detailed instructions for converting any zipper opening to a fly front, and in this video she demonstrates the procedure. In preparation, ensure the that existing extension is 1-3/8 in. wide and 8 in. long.
The Convertible "Infinity" Dress: How it almost defeated me, and what you need to make one I made this thing. It’s pretty cool. It’s a convertible dress that’s basically a circle and two straps, so it’s really easy, inexpensive, and crazy versatile. It’s been around forever and everyone seems to love it (in fact, part of the reason I’m posting this is to answer some questions for people I’ve run into), and I can hardly believe how close I came to not making it at all. I first found the instructions at a blog called rostitchery, and then I came across a second set at Cut Out + Keep. So I bought some material, spread it out in the living room, cut out my pieces, and… …stopped. I didn’t understand the next step. Turn the skirt inside out? And what’s this about making them overlap each other? There’s, like, a band of fabric involved? What? I figured I was just being thick. So I folded up my circle and my straps and I put it all back in the bag it came in. And I went upstairs to watch TV. I was wearing my new dress after about half an hour. Select a stretchy knit with spandex in it.
Ambiance japonisante - DIY J'ai eu envie de coussins montagne en voyant ceux de Mer Mag sur le site Design Sponge. Le tuto est très bien fait et en image. J'ai choisi d'utiliser différents tissus, du tissu aux motifs japonais, un lainage et du pilou pilou blanc. J'ai entoilé le lainage pour une meilleure tenue avec du thermocollant double face.
The Easiest Thing To Do With A Jelly Roll- Plus Our Winners! - makelifesweet Congratulations to our two winners of our latest contest. They are: Kristine Hanson who wrote: I love to make quilts for gifts...ecspecially twin or throw sized...perfect for an adult to have, what adult still does not like to have a blanket on them while napping? and Ariane who wrote: I love these patterns. Kristine and Ariane will both recieve our entire collection of Authentic patterns. Thank you to everyone who entered! Now, for the Jelly Roll. For our quilt, we used one jelly roll plus about 1/2 of another. But any Moda Jelly Roll will do- such as this cutie from Camille and Bonnie : Here are the instructions: Use 64 Jelly Roll Strips (this will make 32 rows). Machine quilt down the center using a straight stitch or a curved one. The first and last rows use the 2” wide batting. After quilting all the rows, sew together with a 3/8” seam allowance with a short stitch length. Bind and wash on the gentle cycle.
Moda's Half Moon Modern Sewing Room: Task Basket - Sew4Home T-Shirt Refashion: Jersey Necklace | IS•LY | I Still Love you Sometimes I feel like I ride on the coattails of creative people. Back in January as I was surfing my favorite blogs, I came across this post on Ultra Vroom about cardigans and fabric necklaces. I instantly fell in love and had to have a fabric necklace for my very own. If I remember correctly, I wore that necklace for 4 days in a row. I love my necklace so much, I’ve been wanting to share it with you for sometime, but haven’t worked on the tutorial until just now. Materials: 1 XXL or XXXL men’s t-shirtScissors and/or rotary cutterSewing machine and or needle & thread Cut off the bottom hem of the shirt. Cut open one end of each strip. Sew coiled ends together. Once finished braiding, sew ends together to make three separate rings of fabric. Cut a 5 x 7 inch square of fabric from the remainder of the shirt, fold it over the three braids and sew. Voila! If you twist the loop twice before doubling over, the necklace looks like this (above). P.S.
