Во время вышивки остаются такие обрезки нитей, которые и выбросить вроде жалко и использовать в работе уже неудобно. Я говорю об остатках не по 5-9 см, а по 15-30 см длиной. Раньше никогда о таких вещах не задумывалась, пока не увидела, как умелый творческий подход может из непригодных ниточек создать интересные вещи. Предлагаю подборку классных идей по применению остатков мулине. Возможно и у Вас появится желание больше не выбрасывать обрезки. Вот, к примеру, короткими ниточками вышиты прямоугольные области, в результате чего получилась самодостаточная абстрактная композиция. Здесь обрезки гармонично вписали в ассизскую вышивку. Получилось очень здорово! Один из самых популярных способов применения - вышивка крестиком горизонтальных или вертикальных полосок. Или можно укладывать стежки гладью в хаотичном порядке. А как насчет мулине в эпоксидной смоле? По-моему, очень оригинально. А вот мастерское использование ниточек, достойное галереи. Надеюсь, Вам было интересно. Спасибо за вним

My list was smallish for this week - try to finish 6 cat blocks and cut out the sashing ready to go.✅ - sew on the hanging sleeve to my background filler project❌ - take some photos of my Christmas quilt. I think I will put that in my Etsy shop for sale even though it is a bit late now...well, there's always next year.✅ The last bit of the cat quilt went quicker as I could see the end. I chain pieced along saying the names of the individual cats as I was sewing along so I would not get confused. Must have been really focussed as I did not mix up their faces 😂 Ran into a bit of trouble as I thought I had oodles of background fabric. Well, as it turned out it was just enough. Had a mild suspicion when I started to cut out the sashings. I have a table which tells me how many pieces I can get out of one strip. for the sashing it was 4, 10-1/2in pieces per strip but as I was starting to cut I noticed that I was only yielding 3 pieces! I then cut my outside borders as well of which I needed 8, 4in strips so that ate up a lot of fabric. In the end I had to cut some off some length from my border strips to make the sashings go the distance. A few anxious moments there and I thought that in the future I will put my background fabric away with the UFO. As years pass I do forget what I am working on or better said what I have stuffed away somewhere and it is just too easy to cut into your background fabric when you actually need it. Lesson learnt. Here is the completed quilt top It turned out so pretty, just like I had envisaged it. The quilt will measure about 57in x 66in. Had to go yesterday to look for some backing and batting and spent half a fortune acquiring it. Washed the backing and now just have to find some spare time to put it all together. Looking forward to quilting this. Today then I finally put up my Christmas quilt in my Etsy shop. It is a bit late but what can you do. There is always next year. Its a pretty little quilt. I used wool batting which makes this nicely soft and a little bit puffy. The quilt measures 32-5/8in x 47-1/2in, so a good size for a bit of a fun festive wall hanging to adorn the halls. Glad this is done so that I now can concentrate on other projects. Again, planning is the magic word rather than jumping around all over the place which I have been doing over the last few months.

This post is so photo heavy! I apologize in advance but hopefully all the pictures will answer all of your questions! If not, fire away! You will need: 3 coordinating fabrics (fat quarter or smaller will work) 1 piece of batting 1 button 6 inches of thin elastic Felt Printed template (you can download it here) Use the template to cut your cover fabric and your inside fabric Then fold template on line And cut your third piece of fabric for the pocket You'll have one cover, one inside and one pocket Fold your pocket fabric in half lengthwise and sew down the creased side. That way your pocket looks good from the outside and the inside. See? Cut your piece of batting to the size of the full template Pin cover fabric to the batting, and quilt as desired. I ended up doing a diamond pattern and then played around with some embroidery. Try stitching your initials, add ribbon or ricrac. Make it yours! Sew your button on the right hand side about an inch in from the side. Tie a knot in your elastic. Place loop facing in on the left side. Lay your pocket on top. MAKE SURE THE RAW EDGE IS ON BOTTOM. You'll cry if you don't. Stitched edge up? Check! Lay your inside fabric on top of the stack. If it has a print, make sure the print is facing the inside of the sandwich, NOT you. Pin Pin Pin. And then sew a 1/4 inch seam all the way around, making sure to leave an opening. Once sewn, snip your corners. This step is optional but to make it sturdy you can serge the edge. The easiest way to do this is set your machine on a zigzag stitch and let the needle only catch the side of the fabric and fall off on the other half of the zag. Goodness that is confusing. Pull your needle book right-side out. Use a pencil, crochet hook, bobby pin, whatever you like to poke the corners out. Iron the book nice and flat, tucking in the opening flap to match the seam. Do a 1/4inch top stitch all around the edge of the needle book. This will sew up your opening and give the book a nice, clean look. See? Cut your felt to 3 1/2 inch by 7 inch strips. I had 3 strips total. Embellish them any way you like. I cut 2 1/2 inch circles and sewed them on. Pin your pages in your book, and sew down the center. Yay! It's finished! I made the one below the exact same way. Only for the cover fabric I pieced scraps together for a quilted look. I just kept sewing until I had a full piece of fabric the size of the template. And of course if you have any questions I am happy to answer them! Happy crafting!
