This is a listing for my online video instructional class...."Recycled/reusable journal wrap", that I have created and designed. In this class, I will show you how to take vintage and everyday fabrics and created a piece of art out of them. Once, you learn the foundational steps in how I create my wraps, I will discuss how you can create numerous wraps and by changing a few things, each one would be different and unique in itself and no two are identical. You could create a wrap for a journal, sketch book, cookbook, ledger, novel, magazine, text book, etc. Have you ever wanted to make a piece of art, that could be reused over and over again or have you ever wanted to recycle clothing, that you or your family have outgrown or that is worn out. In this class, I will teach you how to take those everyday, worn out, discarded and vintage clothing and incorporate them into your art. I will show you how create this project from start to finish...How I stitch my designs onto my fabrics, incorporate ribbons and embellishments. I will show you how to create a journal wrap that will allow you to either display the piece for others to view it or create one that can be used in your everyday routine. Regardless of how you chose to use your wrap, it will have others wanting one for themselves. By learning how to make this wrap, it will allow you to create wraps that you could give away as gifts for the holidays, birthdays or how about a just because gift. The last image is an additional wrap that I have created since creating this class. I will be supplying written instructions on how to paint this flower.

Sometimes you just need a feel-good sewing project, like these two scrappy pincushions! Amanda Jean from Crazy Mom Quilts had a month long...

A blog about art and illustration.

It's taken me a long time to get this baby bound, but here she is! This is the Moda Blockheads 2 sampler--a free block of the month program from 12 Moda designers including me! Mine's a little crazy with all the juicy colors, reminds me of a fruit cocktail. I used a bunch of my own fabric scraps from collections like Lollipop Garden, Garden Variety, Little Miss Sunshine, Sugar Pie, Nest, Farmer's Daughter, and Olive's Flower Market. Quilting by Marion Bott. It's hard to tell in the photography but the pantograph is wavy groups of lines. I'm not sure the exact name of the panto. Looking great as always, Marion!

If you can’t get to International Quilt Festival in Long Beach, California July 29-31, but would like to see “The Space Between” exhibition, here’s a way. Loris Bogue, together with Jamie Fingal and Leslie Tucker Jenison, have created an exhibition catalog. It’s available to view and buy at Blurb.comhttp://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/2327096. The price is $22.95. It features full-page photos of each piece in the exhibition, as well as a photo of the artist, and her statement about the piece. I was tremendously honored to find my piece, “Hope is the Thing,” featured on the cover. And even more honored to have my piece included with the work of such amazing artists.

First the New New - Our Noteworthy fabric due out in January!!

Jessica Giardino tells us how we can stabilize our favorite sewing patterns so that they will stay around for a long time.

There are many varieties of feller/folders. Some turn the fabric edge down one time, some turn down a double fold, others turn the fabric edge up, and still others will create felled seams between two pieces of fabric as you'd see on jeans, menswear shirts, etc. The photo above shows many sizes of clean finish, or double fold, feller attachments. In general, for home coverstitch machines, you'll use the single downturn feller to create topstitched hems with a covered raw underside edge, as shown below. Fellers attach to the bed of the machine with thumbscrews. Some of the larger fellers (like the 1" feller below) can only be attached with one thumbscrew. That's OK -- just tighten the screw enough so that there's no play or wiggle in the feller. It will take a little bit of experimentation with scraps to learn where to position your feller so that the underside of the hem is coverstitched without leaving excess to trim away. Once you have this position, keep the feller attached and remove the fabric. Use a Sharpie marker to mark the needle positions directly on the feller as shown below. From that point onward, you'll now be able to quickly line up your mark with the needles or needle markings on the foot and no more experimenting will be necessary. You may also want to mark the thumbscrew location onto the attachment. If the screw holes in the bed of the machine do not alllow any further side-to-side adjustment, you can reposition the feller on the attachment bracket after loosening the metal screws just to the left of the white thumbscrew in the photo below. Once your feller is positioned as desired, don't forget to tighten those screws again. To begin, finger or iron press a "starter" fold about 2" long and the width of the feller spec. My examples show a 1" feller, which means the finished width of the hem is 1". So, I would finger (or iron) press under a 1" width along the first 2" of the fabric. Lift the presser foot and slide your raw fabric edge into the attached feller and allow the feller to turn the edge of the fabric the amount you marked. This sounds more complicated than it is. The feller will do most of the work with only a little guidance from you. You may need to slide the fabric back and forth under the presser foot a couple of times to seat the fabric into the folding curls of the feller. Once the edge is seated, pull the fabric under the foot and put the foot down. Start stitching. The foot and feller will hold the fabric in place with only minimal guidance from you to keep the fabric from "dragging" in your lap, which could distort the felling action. With a properly positioned downturn feller, this is how the fabric will come off the machine. The hem is topstitched on the right side and completely covered by looper stitches on the wrong side, with no excess to trim away. You can see a little bit of distortion as my fabric is leaving the feller. This is because I'm trying to stitch and take photos at the same time and the fabric is dragging below the machine bed. I needed my third hand!

Aujourd’hui, je vais peut-être me faire rabrouer, voulant casser un mythe encore bien ancré en France… auquel j’ai cru moi aussi dur comme fer ! Toute quilteuse a entendu un jour …

The possibilities for three-dimensional manipulation of fabric - gathering, pleating, tucking, shirring, and quilting woven materials - are seemingly endless. To describe them all would be to describe the entire history of sewing. In The Art of manipulating Fabric, Colette Wolff has set herself just this task, and she succeeds brilliantly. Working from the simplest possible form - a flat piece of cloth and a threaded needle - she categorizes all major dimensional techniques, show how they are related, and give examples of variations both traditional and modern. The result is an encyclopedia of techniques that resurface, reshape, restructure and reconstruct fabric. - More than 350 diagrams support the extensive how-tos, organized into broad general categories, then specific sub-techniques - Handsome photos galleries showcase the breathtaking possibilities in each technique and aid visual understanding by emphasizing the sculptured fabric surface with light and shadow - Textile artists and quilters, as well as garment and home decor sewers, will expand their design horizons with the almost limitless effects that can be achieved.

How to Make a Komebukuro Bag - Part 1 showed how I made the exteriors for two bags. So, if you have decided to make a bag, settled on the finished size and made your sides here's what you need to finish it. Four exterior sides, plus base, as described in Part 1. Four lining sides, plus base, cut to the same dimensions. Grossgrain ribbon - For the tabs: nine pieces 3.5 inches (approx 8.5 cm). For the drawstrings: two pieces which are four times the width of your bag plus 12 inches (30 cm). In the following picture you can see that I wanted to use some nice Liberty for the lining, but economised by using cheaper fabric for the base, and by piecing the sides to include the same cheaper fabric at the bottom. Four lining sides, plus lining base. You will need to sew your lining sides to the lining base, one at a time right sides together. When you sew each side begin and stop sewing the width of your seam allowance in from the corner. Now sew up the sides, from the base to the top. The corner you left unsewn means you can stitch all the way from the base. Do the same thing with your exterior sides and base, attaching the sides to the base first and then sewing the sides together one by one. You will have to overlook the fact that mine seem to have got rather crumpled in between stages... Do you remember that when constructing your sides, you made the top strip taller, so that it overhang the batting? Once you have sewn the exterior together fold this extra fabric along the top edge over and down into the bag and press into place. You are now ready to add the tabs. See how the top edge of the bag is folded over and inside Take each piece of ribbon and fold it in half. Find the centre of each side and pin a folded ribbon tab to it. You want to space out your tabs evenly round the bag, which you can do by adding another ribbon tab on each side of the central one so that the space from the central ribbons to the outside ones is twice the distance from the outside ribbons to the side seam. You can eyeball this quite easily. Now take your lining and stand it inside your exterior. Carefully fold in the seam allowance so that the top edge lies just a whisker below the top edge of your exterior. I've let it peek out a bit in the shot below so you can see how the two are folded in and butted up together. Add more pins to secure the two together so that the ribbon tabs are nicely trapped in between. You may find it helps to match up the seams at the corners and pin there first. You're now ready to sew round the top of the bag, close to the edge, to secure your exterior and lining together. Use a fancy thread or a matching one, whichever you prefer and remove the pins as you go. You can add a second row of stitching just below for extra strength. Since you are now sewing through several layers you may find it helps to use your walking foot. TIP: If you start at the middle of a side and find that you have a small excess of fabric in the lining by the time you reach the side seam, take a tiny tuck there before carrying on. No-one will notice! Finally, starting at a corner, thread through one of your drawstrings, bringing it back to the starting point and knotting the ends. At the opposite corner, thread through the second drawstring in the same way. Pull each drawstring to close! Hopefully you can now make a bag the size of your choice. You could choose to make a taller one (ie one which isn't square), or a small one for use as an evening bag. Please let me know if anything is unclear. You can find another design (which uses a different method of construction) here.
