Bed Skirt Tutorial | Trends and Traditions
Hi Everyone! I hope you all had a good weekend. Here in MN the weather has finally turned, so my windows are all open and the fresh air is blowing through the house. With all the fabric designing, I have taken a bit of a break from quilt designing. To get started, let me just say that bed skirts are really easy to make. After sticking the velcro to the bed, measure the three sides separately to get the length for your bed skirt. In the other bedroom that I am working on, the bed has side rails, so I just stuck the Velcro to the side rail instead of the box spring. As you can see in these photos, the style of bed skirt that I like doesn’t involves ruffles like some do. I do the same thing on the long sides of the bed. To figure out what size to cut the pieces, refer back to the measurements that you’ve already taken around the three sides of the bed. Let’s also say that the long sides of the bed measure 78″, then divide that number by 2 (because we are doing it in two pieces) = 39″.

The Origami Lotus Bag Tutorial | Exchanging Fire
My favorite project bag is this lotus-shaped drawstring bag I own. It’s square with some design features that reminds me of Japanese origami, the beautiful art of paper folding. I love the way it folds in on itself like those old fortune teller paper games we used to play in school when we were children. The design is both simple yet clever. Origami Lotus Project Bag with yarn being knit into a shawl inside of it You’ll need two matching squares of fabric that are roughly 18 inches square and some matching ribbon. First, take the two pieces of complementary fabrics and place the designs facing each other so you see the wrong side. Second, iron your fabric so that it’s easier to work with. Now we’re getting to the folding. Origami Lotus Bag, fig. 1 Your folded flaps should now show only the interior fabric.
