Printing on fabric treated with cyanotype chemicals has always fascinated me - I've dabbled in it a bit, but never really explored it more than that. With all the plant life returning, I'm getting several ideas using cyanotype printing - hopefully I'll have something to show you in a week or two! So what is it? Cyanotype is coating a surface with certain chemicals that when exposed to light make a blue-tinted photographic image. It's been around a long, long time .... British scientist Sir John Herschel invented the process in 1842 and it was one of the main photographic processes used until the early 1900's when black and white photographic prints became more popular. British artist Anna Atkins was one of the early users of cyanotype, creating this piece between 1851 and 1854. You can paint the cyanotype chemicals on a wide range of objects - paper and fabric are mainly used. I'm especially interested in using the process with fabric! I've shown this piece of Lotta Helleberg's before, cyanotype fabric pieces put together into a quilt. This is something along the line of what I'm thinking of working on - I just need to do a little more research into how this type of piece could be laundered. Entanglement, cyanotype appliqued onto linen and hand stitched, 2016. detail of the above work See more of Lotta's work here. Lynette Miller is an artist who works in several mediums, cyanotype being one. I love the way light works in this print of hers made with old bottles: And these are fun gift tags: See more of her work on her blog here. Arizona artist Annie Lopez uses the cyanotype prints she makes to create clothing sewn from vintage patterns. You can see more of her work and read about her in this article from Images Arizona here and the Phoenix New Times here. Happy Creating! Deborah

Magic numbers can make improvisational quilt construction that seems impossible a little more within reach. I had a lot of inquiries so I thought I would...Read More »

Shark is a unique bag with strong characters. The Mummy shark is more suitable for those with some experience of sewing, partly because of the thick denim fabric I used (I have a industrial sewing machine. A domestic sewing machine will also do the job, but might require turning the hand wheel manually occasionally for some really thick areas.) , and partly because of the zip opening. But the baby shark with no zip and slightly lighter fabrics is definitely easier to make! All our PDF patterns can be printed directly on standard A4 or US letter paper. You will also have access to clear, step-by-step sewing instructions with HD photos with full size sewing patterns (including seam allowance, no need to enlarge patterns).

Differential feed is a serger feature that adjusts the speed of the feed dogs to control how the fabric is fed through the machine. This can be used for a variety of purposes, such as preventing wavy seams on knit fabrics, creating gathers, and adding a lettuce hem. To use differential feed, find the knob or lever on your serger and adjust it according to the desired effect.
