Yesterday it was Mother's Day and I wanted to share a card I made for this occasion. I used Sewn with Love from Lawn Fawn for this. I started by blending a part of my cardstock. I used Cracked Pistachio Oxide Ink. I also added some splatter to the rest of the panel with this same color. I stamped the images and colored them with Copic Markers. Here are the colors I used: Scissors: YG41 - G02/ R22 - R35/ C0 -C3 Pin cushion: YG41 - G02/ BG15 - BG18/ R22 - R35/ YR21 - Y38 Buttons: YG41 - G02/ BG15 - BG18 Spools: YR21 - Y38/ YG41 - G02/ E41 - E43/ E53 - E55 - E57 Thimble: C0 - C3 I die cut the images with my Cuttlebug and assembled the card. I stamped the word "sew" in Wild Rose Ink and die cut it as well. I added it to the panel and stamped the rest of the sentiment. Not only a Mother's Day card, but also for a crafty friend or maybe your grandma. Thanks for visiting my blog. Please leave a comment and follow/ subscribe to my blog!

We love small, quick, easy, and super adorable sewing projects , and this jeans mice craft by Creative Mamy no doubt is one of our all-time favorites! In this step-by-step video tutorial, you can learn how to sew ( or hand sew ) these super adorable jeans mice. They are quick and really easy to sew ( you can easily make some with hand sewing ) and the outcome is so adorable! They are the perfect size to make cute toys for your cats or the kids ( you can make a whole felt mouse family ) !
I love to wear capes, shawls, I'm not actually sure what to call them. As you can see, I have a number of them in my wardrobe. They are super simple to make, and make great gifts as well. I throw them on when I have quick errands to run, especially when I'll be in and out of the car. They are great when the weather is cold enough for something, but not a heavy coat, and they even work over a lighter coat when it is cold out. The first one is reversible. On one side I did a cream wool and on the other side is a deep heathered green. The second is a felted wool. This took absolutely no time. What took the most time was deciding where I wanted the stripes to fall. After I cut it, I turned the raw edge back and did a small zigzag stitch along the edge. The stitches melt into the fabric. I would try to show you, but you really can't see them. The third piece is a double faced wool knit. To finish the edges I first of all rounded them and then cut a piece of boucle knit to bind the edges. This pattern is really just a rectangle. Very simple. I am going to give you the measurements that I used as the piece is fairly one size fits all. If you are shorter, you will want to shorten this a bit. I am 5'6" tall. The piece falls just about at the back of my knee, a good length for me. So if you are taller, you may want to add a little to my measurement. First you will need 2 1/8 yards of fabric (a little more if you are taller or if you have a stripe that you want to fall a certain way). The fabric needs to be at least 54" wide. In the drawing below I show 27" wide. Remember, the fabric is folded in half. On the folded edge, measure up 36" and measure in 3". The dotted line I have drawn in will be the front opening.You will want to cut on this line. For the black stripe and the reversible cream pieces, I wanted the side edges to not look so square, so I measured up 6" on both ends and did a slight curve that starts about midpoint of the ends and curves up to the selvage edge. If your fabric is exactly 54" wide and you don't like the selvage edge, just cut it off. A half inch won't make that much of a difference. At this point, cut out your fabric and finish the edges however you like. It's just that simple. In fact, you can draw this on your fabric with a chalk pencil. No need to make an actual pattern. If you would like a rounded edge like I did on the double faced wool, just draw it in. For that piece I rounded all four corners. Enjoy your new shawl/cape/ruan, or whatever you want to call it :) Rhonda
I am so in love with entrelac I can't get it out of my mind. I've dreamed about knitting entrelac every night this week... well what little sleep I've had. It's hard to sleep when you can't make your mind be quiet about your most current love. That and there was a cat licking my eyebrows. Very hard to sleep through that. o.0 Can't sleep. Can't eat. Must Knit. :D I love this knitting technique so much I made a Tutorial for it for any of y'all that aredn't sure what it is and wanna give it a try. :D There is PDF of the tutorial/modified pattern at the end of the post. :D I modified Alison of Freckles & Purls Entrelac Scarf pattern (PDF), with her permission, and will share it with y'all today. Plus a little tutorial I wrote up to go with it. Alison's Pattern is based on 8 stitches per section and came out to 9 inches wide for me when I knit it. Great Pattern, but just a bit too wide for me. I altered the stitch count per section to 6 and now it comes out to 6 inches wide. Whether you use Alison's Original 8 Stitch Pattern or my Modified 6 stitch pattern you will love it. It's a great pattern for anyone new to Entrelac or anyone who just wants a kickass cool entrelac scarf. :D Here is a comparison between Alison's Pattern and my Altered 6 Stitch Pattern. Mine is the smaller one on top. It's the same number of sections. The only thing different is the number of stitches per triangle/square. (well the yarn is different, but you know what I mean. :P) 6 Stitch Entrelac Scarf Pattern & Entrelac Tutorial Yarn: Trendsetter Yarns - Tonalita Example here in color 2349.

Hi!! Got a lovely surprise for you all! My newest pattern, the Springtime Friends is now ready and available in my Etsy shop!! I'm super excited to share this pattern with you! It includes pattern pieces to make either a bunny or kitty doll and I've created two different outfit options to choose from - a pretty Summer dress or a cute pair of shorts with buttoned suspenders. The pattern also includes a faux fur cape and scarf. I love the different options in this pattern - I made a Mum and Dad bunny and then made them each a teeny tiny baby bunny to hold. You can find the free tutorial to make one yourself on my blog, just CLICK HERE. If you love hand embroidery, you'll love the concept of creating your own embroidered masterpiece! You can customize these dolls to your hearts content!! I've provided lots of photos showing close-up details of the stitches I've used, so you can embellish as much or as little as you'd like. The dolls and outfits are made from fabric and are machine sewn. Finished bunnies measure about 14inches tall, while kitties measure about 11 inches tall. Have a wonderful weekend everyone!!

Happy Thursday Everyone!! Sadly, this will be my last Guest Designer Post for Tupelo Designs LLC. (using that links earns me points and you 10% off your first order.) I have had such a fun two months sharing cards using products from their site. I hope that I inspired you with the cards I have shared. **UPDATE: I am staying on the DT ~ but will be away from posting during the move ~ I do have some cards that I will schedule. Thank you TDLLC for asking me to stay on!! I will be moving in about two weeks. It's a long journey across the country and my crafty stuff has to be packed up. As soon as I get there and get things unpacked, I will be back to posting and sharing card projects ~ and maybe even some scrapbook pages!! The reason I haven't been so active online is this kid below.. he is my youngest son and he is a high school golfer. He has made it back to the MO State Championship another year in a row. Several colleges want him to come play golf for them, but we've narrowed it down to one. I have been so blessed to have been able to watch him play and hone his game into what it is today. During his Freshman and Sophomore year I went to all his matches/tournaments that I could. The last two years I haven't missed a swing of the club. I will miss this time of year when he goes off to college and I won't be able to watch him each week......... I better get to the card!!! Now.. let's talk about this fun "I LOVE YOU S'MORE!" card ~ I just love the adorable Lawn Fawn images and their dies that cut like butter! I also used some Lawn Fawn pattern papers. When I started on my card I had cut everything and was laying it out to make sure it would all fit. I had stamped, colored and die-cut more pieces than I needed. I've already put the extras in a small container I have of stuff that I'll use on cards when I get to our destination. I took some pictures along the way of the coloring ~ I didn't take a picture of the bear because I wasn't a fan of my coloring on him ~ but I sure did like the way the flames came out! I stamped all my images with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them with Copic Markers. For the biggest flame: I started with the red at the bottom, then the orange, dark yellow and then the lightest yellow. Blending each color as I went up. For the middle flame: I colored the darkest orange at the bottom, then the darkest yellow, middle yellow and then the lightest yellow. Blending each color as I went up. For the smallest flame: I colored the darkest yellow at the bottom, then middle yellow and the lightest at the top. Blending each color as I went up. For the moon: I colored the darkest yellow in the bottom third of the moon, then colored in the middle yellow and then the lightest yellow on the top. I used this week's MOJO Monday Sketch: MOJO447 *MEASUREMENTS: SUPPLIES: card stock: Black, Teal, Light Green and Neenah White pattern paper: Lawn Fawn Petite Paper Pad Let's Polka in the Meadow, Lawn Fawn Petite Paper Pack Perfectly Plaid stamps: Lawn Fawn Love You S'More, Lawn Fawn Starry Background ink: Memento Black, Versafine Black, Asst.

Los patrones que se cuelguen en este blog podrán ser de dos tipos, para hacerlo a medida y os enseñaré a hacerlo, o bien para imprimir, en cualquier caso, siempre que se haga un patrón intentaré poneros el enlace a la explicación o al archivo que haya que imprimir. Todos los patrones que presente aquí, no llevan incluido el sobrante de corte,(los márgenes de costura) eso significa que tendréis que contar con un poquito más de tela por cada patrón para las costuras. La mayoría de los patrones se hacen para piezas simétricas, eso quiere decir que doblados por la mitad coinciden, por ello, sólo se suele dibujar la mitad en cada patrón y lo que se hace es colocar la tela doblada. Los patrones se marcan siempre por el revés de tela, por si se nos queda alguna marca, nunca sea en el exterior. Si el patrón es simétrico, lo que vamos a hacer es doblar la tela, para que todo quede al hilo, vamos a juntar orilla con orilla (la parte que hace como flecos, en el caso de la tela de la imagen se nota porque la tela está más rematada) y vamos a estirarla bien para que no haga arrugas, sino serán cm de más o de menos en el patrón. Colocamos el patrón justo en el borde doblado de la tela, estiramos bien y prendemos con alfileres para que no se mueva (hay que procurar, al prender los alfileres, hacerlo sin mover el tejido) así seguirá estando estirado. Ahora con nuestra tiza, jaboncillo o útil de marcar repasaremos todos los bordes del dibujo (por ahí es por donde van a ir luego nuestras costuras) Así que nunca cortéis ahí. Si no os fiáis de vuestro ojo con las medidas, como el patrón sólo os queda pintado en un lado, podéis pasar hilos flojos para que queden marcados en ambos lados del tejido. Se hace como una basta sin apretar Una vez pasados los hilos, separa un poco las dos telas para que el sobrante de hilo quede en medio y sea fácil de cortar cortáis entre ambos tejido el hilo y os queda un trocito en un tejido y un trocito en el otro. Mi profesora de corte, que para mí es la que más sabe y mejor cose, dice que en la mayoría de los casos no es necesario, así que yo lo dejo a vuestra elección. En la mayoría de sedas, satén, gasas suele hacer falta pasar hilos o marcar directamente con una basta porque las tizas casi no se ven. Los márgenes más comunes son: - Entre 2 y 2'5cm. Para las costuras de los lados y los hombros - 1cm. En las sisas ensanchándose hacia los hombros por si hacen falta rectificaciones - 1cm. En el escote, si es una prenda muy escotada dejamos más no sea que nos pasemos y luego ya no tiene arreglo - 3cm. En la parte de debajo de un cuerpo - 2cm. En la parte alta de una falda - 6cm. Para el jaretón o dobladillo de una falda o vestido - 1cm. Alrededor de piezas pequeñas bolsillos, cinturillas. No conviene dejar mucho margen de más porque el trabajar con mucha tela también es incómodo
