Period Costume Period Clothing Patterns and Cutting Diagrams IMPORTANT: Notes On Using Our Patterns These patterns are reproduced from original period patterns and from cutting diagrams found in English, French and American publications of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Those copied from full-sized patterns were scanned in at 1/2, 1/4 or 1/8 of the original size as indicated on each piece. They can be printed out and enlarged on a photocopier, projector, digitally, or by hand. The scale in inches is also given on each piece, in case they do not print out true to size. Patterns copied from cutting diagrams have been scanned in at 1 to 1½ times original size and are not to scale. We also include period cutting layouts and diagrams which are not always to scale. All of these patterns come in one size only: that of the original. Please click on a title or scroll down the page to view our selection

Sewing a sleep sack I just took a bunch of pics while I made a super fast sleep sack (could have spent more time on it, but was in a hurry and needed a new one), and figured I'd share them with you too. Materials Required: 1 yard of fleece or 1.5 yards cotton/flannelLong zipper (length will depend on size of sleep sack, but should be between 18-24") To make this so that older babies can't remove it, use a separating zipper, with the pull at the *bottom* of the garment instead of at the top (must be a separating zipper for this to work! Instructions: When you unfold, this is the back edge. DONE! Hom
Kid books and patterns this house is way into barrettes. Thanks so much for the book love! I feel so supported and good about the whole thing. . .it's hard to put into words, except to say thank you. I am not really able to stay focused on any one big project right now (like the the quilt and blanket I have started and not finished for this baby) so, I jumped to something else and I tried my hand at some felt covered barrettes last week and these are quick and easy. They go together so fast, it won't make me crazy if we lose them. I had stolen some glances at a pair at a b-day party last week and these are a close approximation of what that toddler was wearing. I had this bag of plain metal barrettes from the craft store lying around and I always meant to cover them in a clever way and never got around to it. 1. 2. 3. 4. They are quite popular around here.
French Knot Monograms (Plus one more embroidery) - NEEDLEWORK I made these monograms for my husband and myself (Joseph and Alyssa)! I would love to frame them in something like this ( but can't seem to find a similar frame for a reasonable price. If anyone has any ides, please let me know! I'd love to put them on/above our bedside tables I put them in wooden hoops (I haven't cut the excess fabric, just tucked it behind), but since we're moving in a few weeks I didn't want to put new holes in the wall to hang them. Really easy--just a lot of french knots. I made the "c" for an art swap with a friend. One more embroidery: The phrase doesn't really make sense, I know! I COMPLETELY ripped this design off of someone! The grass is DMC 94, a variegated green.

Recycle Tutorial – Making Of T-Shirt Yarn | craftpassion.com Another tutorial to help save our Mother Earth by turning unwanted items into something useful. This is the yarn ball I made out of an old T-shirt which I have been wearing for 10 years day-in day-out, wash-in wash-out. It finally broke down and tore at the collar and sleeves. Waste not, want not, I decided to recycle it. I have finished making the drawstring bag as shown above. {CLICK HERE to get the Recycle Tutorial – Making Of T-Shirt Yarn.} Pages: 1 2 Print / Download PDF
