The regular ruler is not that regular!

How to sew Y seams

Do you know that the regular, long rectangular ruler that all quilters own is not that regular?? It can do more than cutting strips! Those 30, 45, and 60 degree lines help you cut triangles. How about these triangles of this block? The big angle of this triangle measures 120 degrees and the other two angles measure 30 degrees. You can cut them from strips in any width and here is … [Read more...]

Y seams patchwork

How to sew Y seams

Pattern #2 in the Illusions series -  this is regular piecing. I am so glad I took the time to learn the secrets of Y seams - no more fear! Sewing the triangular units is  piece of cake, combining six of them is a little more challenging; there are 12 seams that meet in the center; the task requires just a little more care and adequate pressing  and trimming of the the seam … [Read more...]

Y seams and English paper piecing

How to sew Y seams

I am working on the third pattern in the Illusions series and I realized I haven't posted on the blog about the first two projects so here is the first one. Y seams intimidate many quilters and I was one of them! I made a gorgeous 3D design and the first thought was, of course - stay away from Y seams! So I stitched it in English paper piecing. You see here 6 different fabrics and maybe you … [Read more...]

Seminole piecing tutorial

This technique is too fun not to explore it more, so I present you Part II of the Seminole Piecing tutorial. You find Part I here. Yesterday someone asked me if this technique works with ombre fabric. Of course, but you will not have such variety in color compared with a rainbow fabric. Many ombre fabrics are monochrome, but there are multicolor fabrics as well. For this new design I used … [Read more...]

3D Pinwheel Tutorial

3D pinwheel tutorial

How many charm square packs do you have at home? I don't collect charm squares, I don't buy everything that is new or I like and still I have 4 charm packs! So if you don't know how to use them, here is an idea: 3D pinwheels.  You can make this design as scrappy as you want (using your scraps), but I think the assorted squares of a collection you find in a pack make the design even more … [Read more...]

Easy zipper pockets for bags

March 13, 2020 5 Comments

Double Pouch pattern

You can't sew bags without pockets and zippered pockets are the best. You can sew zipper pockets in a few different ways, here is one that I think is the quickest and easiest one. You need a zipper (I used an 8'' zipper- this is the length between the stops of the zippers, not the length of the tape) and fabric for pocket. If you use quilt weight fabric, add interfacing to the back. I like to … [Read more...]
