Not all Sewing is Glamorous
from Becca's Crazy Projects
I know many a maker that will deny they mend or hem pants. I won't say that. What I will say is that I only mend for two people. The two people who live in my house. If you don't live here, don't even ask.
I'm sharing this project more to give you a quick review of the Juki TL-2010Q which I used for this project. Anyone that has tried to hem jeans on a cheap, plastic, domestic machine can tell you it is no simple task.

read moreOpposing Ply Yarn and Bags
from Thread Head
A couple of weeks ago I dyed some fibre to spin for socks.
This is my favourite 80/20 Merino/Nylon sock blend. I decided to spin opposing ply yarn for the first time, since it is supposed to make hard wearing socks.
Normally singles (the individual ply) are all spun with the twist in one direction and then plied in the opposite direction. With opposing ply yarn one of the singles is spun in the same direction as the final plying direction. This tightens up that one single during plying (more twist creates a tougher yarn). I spun a ...

Daisy needle case
from Granny Maud's Girl
I do not have a lot of free time, but I managed to squeeze in making this needle case.
I quilted it simply in the ditch with 12 wt Aurifil thread.
As always, one of the most difficult things was deciding which fabrics to use, and that involved pulling everything out of the cupboards, looking it over, choosing a few, putting some back, changing my mind and repeating the process a few times. I got there in the end. If it is that difficult for small projects like this, imagine the time involved in choosing fabrics for large projects!
The ...

from Bear Patch Quilting
Bear Patch is such a classy place! That doesn't have anything to do with society, but it means we love to present classes for our customers. It's such a great way for like-minded people to sit down and hopefully learn a thing or 2! We have always tried for a variety of projects: big, small, handwork, machine techniques, beginner, advanced, morning, afternoon, night and weekends, too! We try to keep our classes small and friendly for everyone. Even though our days are numbered, we can't resist the chance to offer a few more learning opportunities. And sometimes ...

Inspired by Rococo Art: Decadence Fabric Collection
from Art Gallery Fabrics-The Creative Blog
Hi Makers!
Besides being all about fabric, are you also an "art lover?!" I'm definitely one! From an early age, my parents introduced me to many art museums near and far around the world where I had the incredible opportunity to see so many types of art. It was during this time I was introduced to the "Rococo Period." This art movement consisted of highly ornate and a extravagant style of architecture, art and music that flourished in Europe in the 18th century. I fell in-love with all of it!
As I grew older and went to art school ...
Clearing my Head
from Terificreations's Weblog
My sewing room hasn’t been functioning well for a little while. A non-functioning sewing room isn’t a good place for any quilter. We want so much to be in a space that simply doesn’t work. While on a vid call a few weeks ago I showed part of it, stuff I’d been working on and… Continue reading Clearing my Head

from Charm About You
Autumn is here, the kids are back at school and I have time to make a little something just for me! I saw the Happy Mail Kawaii Pencil Case designed by Mollie Johanson and immediately wanted to make one. This sweet case is simple to sew and easy to personalise. I'm actually going to use mine as a catch all in my handbag, for my glasses when I occasionally don't need them (the hard case I made houses my sunglasses) and any extra bits that I don't want floating around the bottom of my bag!

This pretty blue floral fabric is one of my favorite for a wallet. The blue cotton print paired with a chocolate brown waxed canvas makes this a functional and stylish clutch. Topped off with a white metal zipper and suede brand label, you're winning with a modern looking bag.
Our Suppliers hand wax the canvas with natural beeswax and sun bake it to allow the wax to absorb into the fabric. Waxing fabric creates a naturally rugged, water resistant and sturdy fabric that ages with a look similar to leather.
Care of waxed canvas:
