Remember when I shared about all those gorgeous vintage patterns I found at the local Goodwill? Now I'm sharing tons of awesome craft ideas using vintage sewing patterns! I love the idea of re-using old patterns for new projects -- the graphics and illustrations are so gorgeous! As a word of caution, if you are planning to make copies of your pattern, check the copyright first. Many pattern envelopes and illustrations were copyrighted, and quite a few of the vintage patterns have had their copyrights renewed, so you will want to do your research before making copies. Here is an article about copyright law and crafting. MontclairMade on Etsy, has these adorable gift tags. So. Stinking. Cute. I love these pattern weights made from heavy washers and decoupaged paper from Pin and Paper. Use old patterns to organize your sewing space, like these from Cathe Holden, Just Something I Made. Use a pattern envelope to decorate a tote bag, like this one from georgiapeachez on Etsy. Have a lazer cutter? Make pins to give as gifts, like these from Red Revival. Image from Poppytalk. Use the tissue to wrap a gift! I also use the tissue inside gift bags and boxes. Heather Bullard Use the tissue patterns to cover a lampshade. BHG Use the illustrations in an art journal, like this one from Sandra Pearce. Use the patterns for wallpaper! Image from Meet Me at Mikes. You will want to check for copyright before doing this, but isn't this tote bag from the Tom Kat Studio darling? I'm so excited about all these fun ideas for using my vintage pattern haul!

For quite some time I have been playing with the idea of posting a small tutorial, art tidbit or video EVERY Wednesday for a whole year. Well here we are, in the THIRD Wednesday of the New Year and it's time to begin! WHIMSICAL WEDNESDAY #1 of 52...."MINI MOMENTS" PAPER JOURNALS I recently posted this photo on my Instagram (follow me @joannesharpe) and it was so well received, I thought a little tutorial would be in order for my first Whimsical Wednesday post. "WITH A LITTLE WHIMSEY" IDEA: Make a little bit of art every day, in a little bitty size. This is one of my favorite things to do with my water reactive (Tombow) markers or watercolor paints, water brush, paintbrushes and watercolor paper. MAKE YOUR SUPER SIMPLE JOURNALS: Take a strip of watercolor any size you wish. A good place to start is a piece that is approximately 3" x 12". You can always use wider widths of paper too. Fold the paper in half, then in half again and open it up. Fold back each little panel in an accordion fashion. For this book each individual panel is 3"x 3", a perfect size to make little art nuggets. How super and simple, right?? Paint a loose watercolor or marker border as a background and frame in each panel. let dry completely before adding lettering. Add your favorite quotes and inspirational thoughts. Use black pens or colorful markers to make lettering in each box. It doesn't have to be anything fancy or earth shattering, just make a little art every day!
