pretty quick pillowcase tutorial (& bonus french seam instructions) I guess you can read that anyway you’d like – this tutorial creates a pretty pillowcase, and it’s also pretty quick! And a bit addicting too. If you’re anything like me, you’ll want to just keep on making them. As I said in the previous post, I based my measurements for Whitney’s pillowcase on a pillowcase that we have here. I don’t really know what a standard pillowcase size is, but these measurements result in a pillowcase that measures about 20″ x 29″. If you have a larger pillow, you may need to adjust your measurements accordingly. Materials: 1 yard of fabric per pillow (Note: if you want the cuff of the pillow to be a different fabric, you can reduce the main fabric to 3/4 of a yard, and add in 1/4 yard of a coordinating fabric for the cuff) 1.5″ x width of fabric for the trim (or, alternatively, you could use other trim here – I used rick rack for these pillowcases). Note: For these pillowcases I used Anna Maria Horner flannels, which are a standard 42/44″ width.
Tutorial: Sprocket Pillows These are my favorite new pillows. They are fast and unbelievably easy to make…and I hope you love them as much as I do. I did my best to simplify the instructions/pattern so they are beginner friendly, and super fun to make. If you’ve never worked with a template or curves, and your nervous about it…these pillows are a perfect place to start. The only problem with them is that you can’t make just one…trust me …I tried. There are pattern templates for two sizes: Click the link below to download the pattern templates *For best results, print the templates directly from google docs (click file on the left and print). ** Please do not re-post the link to these templates on your own website! You will also need: Large fabric scraps for the top wedges, a 5" x width of fabric strip for the middle (plus a little extra for the large size), a fat quarter for the back, a bag of poly-fill stuffing, and a button and thread for the center. Let’s get started!!!! 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13.

Applique - Fused Edge Prep - Quilting Tutorial from ConnectingThreads.com by Karen Johnson Why fused edge appliqué? Fusing your fabric pieces is an easy way to complete an appliqué project fast. You can leave the edges unstitched if you don't plan to launder the finished project (wall hangings, art quilts). Or you can finish the raw edges with blanket or zig zag stitching if you are going to launder the quilt. Here are a few photos of fused edges with various stitch finishes from my Introduction to Applique segment. Which fusible? Begin by taking a sheet of fusible and trace your pattern. Tip! Windowing fusible In our flower example here, less fusible in the finished piece is desired because the flower is large, so we're going to cut out some of the unneeded fusible web. To create the window, take your original tracing, and cut from the inside, approx 1/4" inside the line. At this point, do NOT cut the outer line. Prepare your fabric for the fusible piece. Gently remove one side of the paper from the fusible. Continue to remove the paper gently. Time to cut!

Pot holders from jeans pockets - a tutorial I saw one of these at a friend's house a few weeks ago, and loved the idea of them! Having recently bought some jeans from the charity shop for 50c a pair, I thought I'd have a go at making my own pot holders! Here's how: First gather your materials. You will need 2 back jeans pockets, some fleece for the batting (padding) on the inside, pretty material for the other side of the holders and contrasting material for the binding round the edges. Cut around the back jeans pockets leaving as much space as you can. Then neaten up the edges. Also cut strips from the contrasting fabric, 6cm (2.5") wide for the binding around the edge. (I needed about 1 metre (39.5") for each pot holder. Pin together the pretty fabric and the fleece. Then stitch together. I decided to try out another bit of quilting (I'm very much a beginner at this). With my fabric being stripy, wiggly lines may not have been the best choice! Now to the binding. Then using your iron, press each strip in half lengthways.
