Quick gifts to sew- quilted pouches
No more worries when I need quick gifts: I sew "Little Wonders" pouches. I stitched 5 pouches in an afternoon! I am more than happy to use small pieces of fabric from my stash: the ones that are too big for "scraps" but are too small for bags or quilts. I did not have fusible fleece and I used batting. I am glad I took the time to create this texture. At first, I thought that I don't … [Read more...]
Lollipops Quilt Pattern
I am happy to share with you my latest pattern. I started it in December and I hoped to finish it by Christmas! Now it's great that I finished it before Easter. The technique is quick and easy and the fabrics I found in my stash and the patterns stored on my computer were screaming to be used. It was hard to stop at three little quilts! All the fabrics used are from the "Mixmasters Satinesque" … [Read more...]
Swirls
Do you remember this quilt I made for the Aurifil Challenge (and the free tutorial) ? At the time I made a few other designs and I just couldn't let them unused on the computer. So I am very anxious to show you how a few of them look on fabric! I am working on bindings now. I am so excited about these designs that I tried something new! Let's say that now I am very disappointed … [Read more...]
Happy, happy!
Let's share with you something that makes us all happy! Fabric! I am afraid I am addicted to fabric. For months I did not buy anything and then I made six orders in less than two weeks!! And of course I feel guilty! Do you receive many newsletters from fabric shops ? I subscribed only to a few. But the newsletter I am always excited to open is the one from Hawthorne Threads. Looking at the … [Read more...]
Faux Leather Straps Tutorial
I love making faux leather bags. I love that faux leather is available in lots of colors. Usually you need a special foot to stitch this material, but I found that my walking foot works fine. When topstitching, I have to help a little the material to move under the needle. I stitch with longer stitches than usual (I set my machine at 3). I don't get perfect stitches every time, but usually they … [Read more...]
Faux Leather Tote Bag
Does this happen to you too ? Sometimes Blogger changes a little the colors of some of my photos, after I upload them into a blog post. At least, it is what I see on my monitor. These colors are really beautiful: indigo blue and taupe. Perfect combination for my sister Oana: she loves blue and sober colors. I made a lot of bags for my sisters but they carry them all the time and I think they … [Read more...]
Faux Leather Bag
A new bag - the first item sewed in the last two weeks. It's great to feel again the desire to sew! And look at this texture! Achieved with no effort. It's just fabric- a soft faux leather with a partially cut away pattern. The fabric stretches and I had to be creative with the straps. The lining is a stiff and heavyweight canvas. I love more and more this pattern. It's the same … [Read more...]
Floral Quilt Tutorial
I am happy to share a new idea with you- a floral quilt tutorial! I wasn't prepared for a new tutorial, I wanted only a new free design for my newsletter subscribers. And I designed this block. Then I thought that a few guidelines on how to sew this would be great too. Then I thought that the way these blocks are constructed is cool and I can't keep it secret on the blog. So here is an … [Read more...]
Quilted Pillow Pattern
Hello, hello! I am still here! But I can't show you too many sewing projects. I couldn't find energy to sew lately- I think I needed a break! But I am dreaming of a lot of future projects. I have tons of beautiful fabrics! I managed to finish a project though! Here is my new pattern. This is the second pillow I made with this geometric pattern. Could you say from the pictures that the design … [Read more...]
