UPDATE: my blog address has changed I'm now blogging at http://upstairshobbyroom.com You can find all the content from here at the new address and all the new content you are missing here!! quilt as you go tutorial is here I am so far behind on posting to my blog.... Between illness, sewing for a few Blog Hops and lets just be real....laziness but here goes.... First I joined the Sew Along that The Quilt Barn hosted for the Sew Together Bag by Michelle of Sewdemented and was asked on Instagram how I did the piecing for the outside of my bag. So here are some pictures and explanation of what I did. 1. Start by cutting your batting or fleece a bit bigger than you need, trim down after. 2. Cut strips of fabric the length needed (mine strips were 1.5-2" wide by the length I needed) Lay them out in the order you want to sew them on. 3. Find the center of your batting, and the center of your strip. 4. First strip is sewn on right side up. 1/4" seam 5. Next strip is centered and sewn with right sides together. Press strip back so right side is up 6. Continue until you cover your batting. 7. I then sewed the 2 end pieced the same way. 8. Then I stitched with variegated thread every 1/4 inch to add a decorative feature. 9. Trim to correct size required. What I've Been Up To: 3 Sew Together Bags Completed of the 4 I planned on doing.

Une trousse de toilette à la juste taille - La Fabrique DIY, premier site collaboratif de tutoriels DIY

Lots of craft bloggers, like myself, are getting very excited at the moment about a competition being run by Hillarys. I first read about it on Craft Blog UK, but I keep seeing fabulous competition entries popping up all over Pinterest and Craftgawker. Crafters get to choose between 4 patterned upholstery fabrics and then you get sent a 1m x 1m piece of fabric to make something amazing out of. Now sewing is a little out of my comfort zone... yes I've made a dress or 2 in my time and I can roughly follow a pattern, but I'm much happier with 2 needles in my hand, or spinning fibre between my fingers. I do love a challenge though, so I thought I'd try something I haven't done for over a decade - design and make a purse. Here goes! The fabric I chose is called Bird Parade. I think I must have been drawn to it as the peacocks are my favourite colour. The pattern is quite big and bold and the repeat area is quite large. I knew that I wanted to incorporate one particular part of the design into my purse - of which there are only 2 repeats... I knew then that I would have to make a prototype purse out of some reclaimed material, so that I didn't waste my precious fabric before I'd even started. I decided to design a purse with pleats on the front and back, and a gathered side and bottom. I wanted quite an informal style, that was simple to make and didn't require perfect sewing skills. After an awful lot of trial, and even more error, I came up with the pattern pieces you can see above. Now, my sewing technique and pattern-cutting skills might be a little unorthodox, but I thought as I'd produced a pattern, I may as well share it here. The Tutorial You will need - An offcut of fabric (I made my prototype purse out of an old toddler dress.) Pattern pieces that you can print out here and here. Needle and thread Scissors Pins Sewing machine - although it could be done by hand. 8.5cm half round, sew on purse frame. Interfacing if your fabric is quite thin. I didn't use any for this project as I felt it was heavy enough. A small piece of plastic canvas to stiffen the base. Nylon beading thread. Seed beads. Print off the pattern pieces from here and here and cut them out. Overlay your pattern pieces onto your fabric, taking extra care with placement to make sure it complements the final design. I particularly wanted to have the nice vertical swoop of the peacock's tail on the front of my purse and as much blue/green of the peacock around the gathered sides of my purse. Here are all the pieces needed to make the purse. The 4 pieces on the left make up the outside of the purse and the 4 on the left make up the lining. I was tempted to use a satin fabric for the lining, but as it's not a flimsy fabric I thought that the upholstery fabric would help it to hold its shape more as I didn't want to use interfacing. Stitch the 2 outer side pieces together at the short straight edge and the 2 lining pieces together so that you have 2 long strips. Machine a long basting stitch along the 2 long edges of the outer side pieces which will make it easier to gather together later. Using the pattern as a guide, pin the pleats on the front and back of the purse in place and then tack them down so that they will be easier to stitch later. Pin the purse front and back to the gathered side. Pull the side panel basting stitches to gather it together and even them out around the purse. Avoid gathering around the 'V' of the side panel. You may like to baste around it later to make machine stitching easier. Machine stitch a 1 cm seam around the front and back of the outer purse. Do the same for the lining. Snip into the seam allowance around the curve. With right sides together, pin the outer front to the corresponding lining, then pin the 2 side seams. With a 1 cm seam allowance, hand stitch around the top of the purse, sewing 1 side seam, the top front and then the 2nd side seam, leaving the back open to allow for turning the right way round. Cut a small piece of plastic canvas to fit on the base of the purse. Hand stitch this in place. Turn the purse the right way around and finally stitch the back outer and back lining tops together. Tack your purse to the purse frame. Starting in the middle, use a blunt tool like a bodkin to push the fabric up into the channel of the purse. At the same time use a contrasting thread to sew through and over the purse frame top to hold the purse roughly in place to make sewing it onto the frame much easier. We're nearly there! If I'm using a sew on purse frame, I prefer not to see the stitches over the top of the frame. I think it looks so much neater if the stitches are hidden with beads. Secure a length of 0.3mm nylon beading thread inside your purse near the hinge. Push the needle through the first hole to the front of the purse, thread a bead onto the needle and then push the needle back through the same hole. Move onto the next hole from inside the purse. Using this method, all of the stitches are hidden inside the purse. Continue around all of the holes of the purse frame until you've sewn a complete circuit and then secure your beading thread inside. All that's left to do now is to remove the temporary stitches holding the purse onto the frame and the tack stitches holding the pleats in place. I'm so pleased with my little peacock purse! The upholstery fabric was perfect for it and it holds its shape beautifully. Here's the contrasting back. I quite impressed myself as it's been years since I've made anything other than curtains or simple seams. I'm really tempted to whip up a much larger version now, with the rest of the fabric, maybe as an evening bag for special occasions... ------ As an aside, you may be interested to see the first purse I made when I was designing my pattern pieces... Here it is. It's made from one of M's toddler dresses from when she was 18 months old and she's already claimed it as her own.

I’ve been having fun making a variety of zipper pouches lately and I thought I would share with you a few of my most favorite zipper pouch tutorials! First of all, I have to talk about the one common element in all zipper pouch tutorials – the zipper! In almost all tutorials I’ve used, it is okay to use a zipper that is longer than needed. At some point in the tutorial the zipper is trimmed down anyway – so if the pattern calls for a 8” zipper and all you have is a 12” zipper then use it! I like to keep a variety of zippers on hand. My favorite source for zippers is an etsy shop called Zipit* They have such a fantastic variety, the prices are great and the shipping is fast. It’s my go-to shop for zippers. And with such pretty colors, it’s actually FUN to shop for zippers! I must warn you though, it’s hard to choose just a few! *this post contains affiliate links The second thing I’d like to mention is what kind of interfacing I use. In the past I’ve used a variety of interfacings and I really didn’t love any of them. Well I now have a new favorite. I now use Heat n Bond Craft Extra Firm fusible interfacing (or Pellon 809 is the equivalent). I love that it gives so much structure, and helps the zipper pouch stand up on it’s own- even in the larger size pouches. I have to thank Emily (Simple Girl Simple Life) and Marion (My Quilt Diet) for encouraging me to try a stiffer interfacing in my zipper bags – I’m converted! Alright – now to show you my favorite tutorials! These two pouches were made using a tutorial from Jedi Craft Girl called the “Favorite Zipper Pouch.” The tutorial is easy to follow with plenty of photos. I made one of these pouches for a swap and I loved it so much I made a twin sister pouch to keep. Another favorite pouch tutorial is the Open Wide Zippered Pouch Tutorial (by Noodlehead). She provides measurements for three different sizes of pouch – this one below is the small size. I love the Open Wide Pouch just because it does exactly that – opens wide! So even in the smaller size you can fit a lot in it because you can pull that zipper all the way open. And it’s easier to see those smaller items that float to the bottom. And to show you the scale, here is the medium sized “Open Wide Pouch” next to the “Favorite Zipper Pouch” with a bottle of my favorite lotion (yum!) You can see here that the medium sized pouch is a pretty generous “medium.” It would be perfect for your larger sewing notions (cones of thread, bottles of Flatter or Best Press, machine oil, rotary cutter, etc.) Or a pound of M&Ms and a bag of Reece’s Peanut Butter Cups. Because you know, snacks. Another pouch that I’ve made and love are the little Dumpling Pouches. I first blogged about them last February. These are all the larger size dumpling – which still is quite small. I use one of my dumpling pouches to carry cotton balls, q-tips and make up sponges when we travel. A dumpling pouch would also be a cute way to carry those Clover Wonder Clips that we all love. Don’t be afraid of the curves in this pouch. They’re not bad! If you read my first post, you can see how I used my Clover Wonder Clips to hold the zipper in place as I sewed it. So there you go – my three favorite zipper pouch tutorials! Open Wide Zippered Pouch (Noodlehead) My Favorite Zipper Pouch (Jedi Craft Girl) Dumpling Zip Pouch (Michelle Patterns) I also just ordered a new batch of zippers so I see many, many more zipper pouches in my future! Do you have a favorite pouch tutorial? I know there are so many that I still haven’t tried! What's your favorite??
