Gwenny Penny: Side-Tie Pillow Tutorial with Ameroonie DesignsGwenny Penny Hi there Gwenny Penny readers! I'm Amy from Ameroonie Designs. Gwen was so kind to let me come over and spend some time with all you lovely people! I am thrilled to share with you my tutorial on how to make this side-tie pillow. I have to admit- this is one of my favorite pillows to make. First you will need to start with a pillow form. Take your ties and fold them in half. Take your two front pieces. Lay the back panel of the pillow on a flat surface. Take the front panel that will be on top of the pillow and fold it in half along the hemmed side. Decide how far apart you want your ties to be- remembering that you will be sewing around the perimeter with a 1/2" seam allowance to finish the pillow. Now we're going to place the ties. We're almost done! Here it is all ready to be sewn. Clip all the corners and turn the pillow right side out. Some more shots of the pillows. xoxo, Amy Isn't this pillow gorgeous?!?

How to Make a Fabric Postcard Party Invitation August 9th, 2013 Email 65 users recommend Quilt a fabric postcard in a snap, and then send it off in the mail. Diane Gilleland You can quilt along with the design printed on your fabric, as I've done here, or quilt an overall pattern. I mailed one to myself to see how it would hold up. Photo: Diane Gilleland When you're done quilting, turn the postcard over and apply a medium amount of craft glue to the back. At this point, you'll need a cardstock postcard of some kind to glue to the back. Your cardstock should measure 1/4 inch less on all sides than your fabric postcard-so for my sample, it measures 3-3/4 inches x 5-1/2 inches. Use your sewing machine to zigzag-stitch around all four edges of the cardstock. What about other embellishments? I'd recommend weighing your finished postcard on a postal scale, or asking someone at your local post office to do it. Add an address and postage, and your postcard is ready to mail.

Tutorial: Scrap Buster Fall Pillow This is my favorite thing to do with my little scraps, and since its Scrap Buster month over at Sew, Mama, Sew, I made a quick tutorial so you can make your own. This pillow cover is 16" square with an envelope back & the design possibilities are endless! I added some pillows I’ve previously made with this same method at the end of this post. You’ll Need: 1. 2. 3. 4. Iron your fabric scraps onto your appliqué material according to the directions on the appliqué material. Now with scissors cut out your trunk and leaf shapes. When you get all your leaves cut out, tear the backing appliqué paper off the leaves and trunk. Then you can arrange them how you want on your pillow front. Once your design is how you like it, press with an iron over each spot for a few seconds making sure not to bump anything out of place. Now you can sew either along the inside edges of your leaves, or you can do a zig zag stitch or blanket stitch around the edges if you prefer. Pin around the edges well.

Laptop slipcover with strap tutorial « TeresaDownUnder This slipcover is for an 11-inch MacBook Air. To adapt this tutorial to your laptop, measure your laptop around for height and depth and divide each measurement by 2 and add one more inch to allow for seams. The resulting figure is the front and back rectangles. For example my laptop is 11.8 inches x 7.56 inches. If I add about an inch, and I square the measurements, I get 2 rectangles of about 9 in x 13 1/4 in.

Sewing: TriFold Floral Wallet {Tutorial & Pattern} This is the trifold wallet I made by using the embroidery with flower applique couching on it. You can get the pattern and tutorial on the embroidery work here. Design and sew this wallet only took me a night to complete (with the embroidery face ready), but begin a novice in Illustrator, drafting and finalizing the pattern took me days. It was fun playing around with Illustrator that sometimes I discovered and tried on other tools and got distracted from drawing the pattern. Finding possibilities to create and develop is my hobby and passion, that’s why I love creative handmade so much By the way, you can get the free 5 pages of printable pdf pattern for this trifold floral wallet here. Tips on cutting and ironing fusible interfacing One thing I would like to point out in this tutorial and also for many other purse and handbag sewings, always cut the interfacing in right angle against the direction of the fabric.
