This is a listing for a PDF copy of the Atlas cushion pattern by Thimbles and Needles. The pattern is designed to fit a European Pillow (Finished size of pattern 25 1/2" x 25 1/2" or 64cm x 64cm). It is suitable for the beginner quilter or sewist and would make a lovely addition to a home or a th
When I began my adventures in knitting, I knew one thing for certain -- I wanted to start out with a full set of needles. What little knitting I had done in the past had already awakened me to the frustration of finding a project, only to realize that you don't have the right size needle(s)! Fortunately, I found an inexpensive set of bamboo circular needles with virtually every size included. 32" circulars are necessary for larger projects in the round, but also function as "regular" needles, thus fulfilling two roles. Are they the highest quality? Assuredly not. But for an amateur, they are perfectly adequate -- and cost about the same for a set of 18 as two individual pairs from the craft store. And personally, I am very fond of bamboo needles. Also, due to an error on the seller's end, I was sent a set of shorter length circular needles instead of what I ordered. A brief conversation with customer service, and the right set was on the way. Since return shipping would be more expensive to them than the needles themselves, I was allowed to keep the mistaken order! But what does one do with a burgeoning set of unruly circular needles? Make a needle organizer, of course! I must admit, I entered this project rather naively. I mean, how hard can it be to make an organizer to hold 18 sets of needles? *cough* I am quite pleased with how the project turned out, and how it functions. The mess that was my circular needle collection is now a neatly organized collection. But getting there? Well, that was less fun than I anticipated. I did have a plan and a few schematics, but I altered just about everything along the way. And let me tell you, making 18 individual pockets is no picnic. The brown and teal fabrics are linen, and the bird fabric came from JoAnn. Each pocket has a tiny vinyl "pocket" on the side, with a cardstock label indicating the needle size. The pressed snaps were a serendipitous notion. They're not gorgeous, but they were fast and easy! Hand sewn snaps, buttons, or just about any other closure would have been quite tedious repeated that many times. The case is interlined with some fleece batting and interfacing for a little "oopmh," and it seems quite sturdy enough for my purposes. On the horizon is another case for my 8" double-point needles, as well as a pouch for my other knitting notions (counters, etc.). But for now I'll take a break from organizational sewing, and do a little knitting, instead!
There are many great pleasures in my sewing practice that I originally resisted. One was the use of a thimble when hand sewing. A thimble felt awkward and in the…

After finishing up my new pincushion, I quickly realized that there was one function it could not fulfill. It is an excellent pin cushion. It is a dreadful needle cushion. My former pincushion passed muster for needles (barely), but frequent pricks to my digits when reaching for a pin were less than ideal. But my new cushion? Its depth would doubtless have led to the loss of many a sharp! Time for a new cushion, wouldn't you agree? I used this tutorial for a cathedral window pincushion, and found it quite easy to follow. The only change I made was to reduce the size by two inches, as the initial size was quite large! My cushion is about 4" wide, and it's just right for my needs. I've never done this type of quilt block before, and was fascinated by how it all came together. Rather like origami, in my opinion. I used a vintage red button for the top, and secured the bottom with another button (to achieve the desired amount of "puff"). As for the fabric? Remnants of "Avalon" by Moda (here's the blue and here's the red) that I had leftover from a dress for Rosa (photos of which will be forthcoming). I fell in love with these two prints when I found them in a local shop, and I was so pleased that I could squeeze out one more project -- especially for something that I'll be using regularly. Now that my pins and needles sorted out, all is well in the sewing room.

Medium weight leather. approx. 3-4 oz. weight- 1.2-1.6 mm. thickness Here are the directions for determining sizing: Measure the circumference of your finger ABOVE the middle knuckle for sizing. Take a piece of string/yarn and wrap it (not too tightly) AROUND your finger just BELOW your top knuckle to find the circumference and measure the string. It should be between 1 3/4" and 3 1/8" inches long. 1 1/2"- 1 5/8" XXS 1 3/4"- 1 7/8" XS 2"- 2 1/8" SMALL 2 1/4"- 2 3/8" MED 2 1/2" - 2 5/8" LARGE 2 3/4"- 2 7/8" XL 3"- 3 1/8" XXL Thimble should be snug at first because it will stretch to mold to your finger size.

You HAVE to try this if you have a medical condition which causes circulation problems or sensitive fingertips. Also perfect if you frequently sew, are a quilter, professional framer (for sewing down projects such as needlework, jerseys, shirts, etc...) Great if you just need something to protect your fingertips while working with sharp objects. You will love this and want more than one thimble on hand. (I have even forgotten that I was wearing mine at work and have worn it half the day!) Medium weight leather is hand cut and sewn with heavy duty thread. No bulky protruding side seams to hinder your fingers! Available in XXS, XS, S, M, L, XL and XXL sizes. Other sizes upon request. Thumb sizes as well. (Measure the circumference of your finger just below the top knuckle for sizing.) Thimble should be snug at first because it will stretch to mold to your finger size. PLEASE BE SURE TO SPECIFY SIZE YOU NEED WHEN ORDERING! HEAVYWEIGHT LEATHER and LIGHTER WEIGHT LEATHER available Please contact me for special requirements or custom sizing. Sold individually or also listed in sets of 2 (save $$$ and shipping costs!) SATISFACTION GUARANTEE: I let every customer know that if they are not completely satisfied with their thimble purchase to please contact me first before leaving negative feedback and I will try to resolve the problem. Sometimes it is a sizing issue or a misunderstanding in how to accurately measure and I am always glad to send out another thimble in a different size. All I ask is that you return the incorrect thimble at your expense (cheapest rate-parcel post is fine) and I will immediately ship out your new thimble ASAP.

In de winkel hebben we een letterhuis in rood en blauw. We wilden er nog een, maar dan in "ecru" en dat hebben we afgelopen week gedaan. Alle dozen en doosjes werden uitgeplozen en mijn "prive vitrinekast" onderging de zoveelste plundering, alles voor het goede doel genaamd Atelier Steekjes & Kruisjes. Met z'n drieen stonden we het te vullen en weer leeg te halen. Te groot, te klein, niet mooi genoeg etc. Maar het is gelukt en we zijn heel tevreden met het resultaat. Dus nu hebben we er twee in de winkel hangen. Mochten jullie geinspireerd raken, de letterhuizen komen van Blokker en de prijs is 9,95 euro. Our store has a "home", filled with red and blue. But we wanted another one, filled with ecru. And that's what we did last week. We looked into each box and litte corner and my private show cabinet was again plundered. But we like the result, take a look!

Prym's knitting thimble, made of high-quality plastic, is ideal for knitting multi-colored patterns of up to four colors. Thanks to the eyelets on the top part of the thimbles, up to four wool threads can gently slide onto the knitting pin without knotting. Even complicated Norwegian patterns and all sorts of multi-colored patterns can be perfectly and easily achieved. A lateral slit in the thimble provides a comfortable fit and firmness on both skinny and sturdy fingers. The latch over the eyelet can be opened very easily to change the color order when knitting.
