The best soldering iron for jewelry: how to choose a soldering iron for soft soldered jewelry
While searching for info on Peyote stitch, I run into the FAST method on this site: http://wildsallyroad.blogspot.com/2011/09/fast-f-s-t-peyote.html. I was intrigued and tried it. This alternate method can be used for even or odd count peyote. It is shown here with an odd-count. Someone with much more experience with Peyote than I have, nicknamed it the FAST and FRUSTRATING method as whatever time might be saved is quickly lost if any mistakes are made along the way as undoing is time consuming. When I read her email, I laughed so hard, as I had the same experience. I have already nicknamed this method the Double F method… As to time saving I don't know, I have not timed it yet. So far, I am a bit lukewarm about this method, mostly because it does not have the peaceful rhythm of regular Peyote… picking up a bead, catching a bead, picking up a bead and catching one… The rhythm becomes a meditation. Regardless this method has merit, but especially for odd-count peyote as it bypasses the odd-count turnaround. Myself, I prefer the 2 Needle Method for Odd-Count Peyote, but you can mix the 2 methods within the same sleeve project and find out which way is best for you. Do the first 4 rows Start using either the traditional method or the 2 needle start. 2 needles are used for this method, so you might as well start with the 2 needles. > Peyote Stitch - 2 Needle Start. Then add 1 row (4th Row, 3 rows were made at once with the start). 1. Place a mini-clamp on one thread end. 2. Insert 6 Delicas Size 10, 3 Seed Beads Size 11, and 6 Delicas Size10. 3. With the Needle #2, go through the first bead on right. This is actually the last bead you threaded on Needle/Thread #1 4. Place the mini-clamp on Thread #1, right at bead. Catch the 2nd bead on left side, that's the protruding bead. Then go through the 3rd bead on right side and pull the thread. The two beads are positioned diagonally from each other. See the angle of the needle. 5. Repeat step 4, catching the next protruding beads on left side, and go through to the right, skipping the next bead and catching the one after that. 6. Continue. 7. Here are the beads of Row 5 & 6 all added in. This method adds 2 rows at once. Peyote Stitch rows are counted in a diagonal, or zig-zag fashion. 8. Remove the mini-clamp and adjust the tension. Here the same sequence started for row 7 & 8 9. Insert 6 Delicas 10s, 3 Seed Beads 11s, and 6 Delicas 10s. 10. With the Needle #2, go through the first bead on right. This is actually the last bead you threaded on Needle #1 11. Place the mini-clamp on Thread/Needle #1, right at bead. 12. Catch the next 2 beads. Continue integrating the 2 sides by catching 1 bead on each side, and skipping 1 in between. Once the rectangle is finished it can be joined into a tube by zipping the 2 sides together. See the other tutorials for the peyote sleeves listed below for instruction on finishing. This sleeve was done with 0.06 WildFire in Camouflage Green. The Miyuki bead mix is Green Patina with Delicas Size 10 and Duracoat Gold Seed bead Size 11. This is my final post for the Peyote Sleeves, Yay. Look for an upcoming review on Beading Thread.

It has been a while since my last tutorial! My hope is that a beginner seamstress will find the instructions and pictures easy to use and the expert seamstress will gain inspiration on how to apply this technique to other projects! Let's Go! Lined Purse with a Zipper! Materials: 1. 4 pieces of equal sized fabrics. The ones shown here are cut to 8in. x 4.5". 2. 1 zipper, longer than the length of your fabric. Steps: 1. Place the outer fabric face up andlay the zipper face down on top. Line the up the edges. *Notice my zipper is way larger than my fabric. This is not a problem as I will cut off both sides when I am complete. The nice thing about using larger zippers is that I can position the zipper pull off my fabric so that I do not have to sew around it. Using larger zippers mean that I also have a zipper on hand and not one that is too short for my project. 3. Place the lining fabric face down on the zipper and line up the edges. 3. Pin all three layers together. 4. Using a zipper foot, sew all three layers together. 5. Remove pins and it should look like this! 6. Iron seams, fold back lining and iron again. 7. Place second piece of outer fabric face up. Then place zipper on top face down. 8. Place lining fabric face down on top of zipper and line up all edges. 9. Pin the three layers together and sew together as before. 10. Remove pins, iron seams, fold back lining and iron again. 11. One side should look like this: 12. The other side should look like this: 13. Pick up just the lining pieces so that the right sides are together. 14. Place on table with lining right sides together and outer fabric pieces together. 15. Unfold one side and unzip zipper half-way. This is a crucial step and yet soooo easy to forget. 16. Pin edges together. Zipper should be folded toward the outer fabric. 17. Sew around edges with 1.2 in. seam and leave about a 2in opening on the side edge of lining fabric. 18. Trim edges and clip corners. 19. Yes, cut right through the zipper on either side. 20. Reach through the opening and turn the purse outside in! 21. Once turned, pull lining out and finger press the opening. 22. Sew the opening closed with your machine as close to the edge of the fabric as possible. Just go slow. *Note* You can slip stitch this opening closed by hand. I have found that with the opeing on the side and not the bottom of the lining it is less noticeable and therefore, a machine stitch is not noticed either. 23. Push the lining back in and iron! Voila!
