3D Pinwheel Tutorial

March 28, 2020 30 Comments

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...]

Flanged binding tutorial - easy technique for a special finishing touch

You can add a special detail to a quilt even after the quilting is done and that detail has a name: flanged (or faux piped) binding. Unlike the regular binding made from one fabric, the flanged binding uses two fabrics: a main fabric and an accent fabric. See below my quilt to better understand how to choose the fabrics for this type of binding. The accent (flange) fabric must contrast … [Read more...]

Zippered pillow cover tutorial

When you sew a pillow cover, you spend time to sew/quilt a beautiful front then all you want is to finish it as quickly as possible. So you sew an envelope closure that takes 5 minutes. It is a great closure but if you want/need something fancy, then a zipper closure is the answer. If you cringe when you read the word "zipper", fear not: this technique is so easy, quick and it does not even … [Read more...]

Batting, interfacing and foam scraps – what to do with them?

December 16, 2019 12 Comments

How to use interfacing scraps

Batting and interfacing are bulky so shipping is VERY expensive (especially for those who order them from abroad, like me!). This makes every little scrap of it valuable. So, what can we do with these small scraps? Small bags, pouches, boxes and bowls are a few options. BATTING SCRAPS I use scraps when I have to make larger pieces, too. I join the batting scraps into bigger pieces and I am … [Read more...]

Laminate fabric- tips for sewing pouches

November 13, 2019 7 Comments

Laminating fabric for pouch

I made a new pouch and I laminated fabric myself. It is such a cool thing to be able to laminate the fabric you want. I LOVE rainbows and pencils so much that some time ago I purchased some pencil images and I printed them on fabric, using Spoonflower's service. A few years ago I made this pouch in a generous size; I used this easy pattern. For laminating I used a product called Pellon … [Read more...]
