Remember this little goodie? Well, from the beginning there was interest in a pattern but I just didn't have the time to get it together. Is this a good time to mention that when I make an original pattern, I generally don't make a copy of it? Since most of my patterns are hand-drawn rather than generated on a computer, once I make the pattern, it's gone. I'm thinking that might need to change...... Anyway, apparently this has been making the rounds on Pinterest and there have been a number of new requests. As a thank you to everyone who comes by my little blog for a visit, I finally wrote up a pattern! Paper-pieced Sewing Machine Pattern It's not slick or fancy and it does assume that you know the basics of paper-piecing. But I hope a few of you find it a fun little project. ***Edit: For those of you who have commented or emailed that you're able to access the instructions but not the pattern - the pattern is on the instruction sheet. There is only one page and it's all there. Really! :-) Now that the kids are back in school, I'm finding a little bit of extra time to be creative. What are you working on right now?

How to Apply Your Iron-On Patch Preparation: Preheat your iron to the cotton setting, approximately 400°F (204°C). Do not use steam. Ensure the fabric you’re applying the patch to is clean and dry. Position the Patch: Place the patch in the desired location on the fabric. The adhesive side (shiny side) should be facing down, touching the fabric. You may use a piece of cloth or parchment paper over the patch to protect it during the application process. Iron the Patch: Press the iron onto the patch and hold it for 30-45 seconds. Apply firm pressure and ensure the heat is evenly distributed over the entire patch. If using a cloth or parchment paper, keep it between the iron and the patch to avoid direct contact. Secure the Edges: Turn the fabric inside out and iron the reverse side of the patch for an additional 30-45 seconds to secure the edges and enhance adhesion. Allow to Cool: Let the patch cool for a few minutes to ensure the adhesive sets properly. Check Adherence: Once cooled, check the edges of the patch to ensure it is firmly attached. If any edges lift, repeat the ironing process with extra focus on those areas. Note: For best results, it’s recommended to sew around the edges of the patch after ironing, especially on items that will be frequently washed or handled.
Il se passe des choses cette semaine dans mon atelier ! This week, things are happening in my sewing room! Tout d'abord, une grande amélioration : une table séparée, dédiée à la coupe et au repassage ! Jusqu'à maintenant la coupe se faisait sur ma table de couture, pas pratique pour de grandes longueurs de tissu. First of all, a great improvement: a separate table, dedicated to cutting and pressing! Until now I was cutting on my sewing table, not so easy with large lengths of fabric. C'est une vieille table qui n'avait pas encore trouvé sa place après notre déménagement. C'est chose faite ! Elle est maintenant entre l'étagère des fils et en-cours (à droite), et l'étagère des tissus et livres (qu'on ne voit pas, à gauche), juste sous le design wall. It's an old table that had not yet found its place after our move. It's done now! She is between the threads and UFO shelf (on the right) and the fabrics and books shelf (which is not seen, on the left), just below the design wall. Pour avoir la hauteur souhaitée, il a fallu rehausser le tout : des pieds bricolés par François la relève jusqu'à 84 cm. Parfait pour couper sans se fatiguer le dos, et pour glisser le petit meuble blanc et noir dessous ! To have the desired height, it was necessary to raise the whole: François made extensions to the feet to lift the table up to 33 inches (84 cm). Perfect to cut without hurting the back, and also to slip the small white and black furniture underneath! Et voilà la nouvelle configuration de mon atelier de couture, j'aime bien ;-) And here’s the new configuration of my sewing room, I’m pretty happy with the result ;) Et puis je ne passe pas mon temps à admirer mon atelier, j'ai aussi cousu un petit peu : un petit bloc en couture sur papier, une Kokeshi que je trouve adorable ! C'est un patron d'Alyce de Blossom Heart Quilts, And as I don't spend all of my time admiring my studio, I sewn a small block: a foundation paper pieced block, a Kokeshi so cute! It's a pattern by Alyce from Blossom Heart Quilts. J'aime les vacances ! I love holidays ;) Linking up with Linky Tuesday / To-Do Tuesday / Let's' Be Social / WIPs on Wednesdays / Needle and Thread Thursday / Peacock Party / Can I get a Whoop Whoop? / Beauties Pageant / Finished or Not Friday / Show Off Saturday

Many of you asked about the method I'm using to prepare my Orange Peel appliqué pieces, so here you go... I have 6 blocks done and I'm happy with how it's looking so far. The days start getting shorter, and many evenings are spent in front of the TV doing some relaxing hand sewing. I like having my pieces ready to go. Start by tracing your pattern {I used this one} onto a piece of freezer paper. Before cutting it out, iron the traced piece on to a second piece of freezer paper - shiny side to dull side. This gives you an extra thick template to fold the edges against. To cut out my fabrics, I made a second single layer freezer paper template and ironed it on to my fabric. I layered four fabrics together and cut around the template about 1/4". This doesn't have to be exact. Spray some heavy duty spray starch into a cup. {Magic sizing doesn't work as well and Best Press doesn't work at all} Let the foam evaporate. With a dry iron, press your double layer freezer paper template on to the wrong side of the fabric. Use a small paint brush to moisten one side of the petal's seam allowance with starch. Use your iron to turn under the seam allowance and press dry. Repeat on the second half of the petal. A little bit of seam allowance will peek out at the point. Just tuck this under later as you appliqué. Once everything is pressed dry, remove the freezer paper and press the appliqué piece one more time. The freezer paper can be used over and over as long as you make sure it's dry each time. I've used mine 15-20 times before making a new one. My background fabric is cut 10" {finishing at 9 1/2"}. By creasing it diagonally in both directions, I have a line to position my petals. My petals don't touch in the center, nor will they touch when the blocks are sewn together. I thought it would be easier to purposely have them not touch. I'm hand appliquéing them by pinning them in place with tiny appliqué pins, then stitching with an invisible stitch using fine silk thread. Any fine thread that matches the color of your appliqué piece will work. The trick to getting an invisible stitch is to come up from the back, catching just a few threads on the folded edge of the appliqué. Then go back down into the background at exactly the point where your thread came up through the fold of the appliqué. Come back up about 1/16"-1/8" from the previous stitch through the background and the folded edge of the appliqué. When you come to the point where a bit of the seam allowance is sticking out, just push it under with your needle and finish stitching. Here's what the back looks like... Let me know if you have any questions!!
