You’ve gotta check out this tutorial on Sew, Mama, Sew! She does a wonderful tutorial on machine appliqueing. It is very thorough, and gives all the information a person needs to know. I’m so glad I came across it tonight because I’ve been trying to think of a special gift to make for a friend that’s having a baby soon (she’ll be induced on Saturday if she doesn’t have it on her own by then… bring on the jumping jacks!). So now I’ve decided I’m gonna do a baby quilt that’s personalized for baby Brodie. I can’t wait, I love it when I finally make a decision on something. Unfortunately now is when the real work starts…
Caught up.
After this post I will officially be caught up on pictures relating to my older posts. I guess that means I’m gonna have to think of some new material. Any ideas? This is going to sound totally random, but I want to do a post on sewing with lycra and spandex. I have been wanting to make myself a swimming suit for a long time (I actually did make one back in the day), and I had to alter one that I bought recently. I honestly did a lot of googling to find out as much as I could about the needles, thread, etc, and there just isn’t much info about it on the web. Let’s just say my first experience with wooly nylon was a bit wooly! What’s wooly nylon, you ask? Well you will just have to wait and learn all about it when I do that post.
Worse.
What could be worse than going without a camera cord for two months, then finally discovering the cord for the video camera works, unfortunately only two hours after finally ordering a new cord off of Ebay? I’ll tell you what could be worse: after all that I just described, finding the stupid original cord that I thought I left in Arizona while we moved to Virginia for the summer in plain sight in our only container that I would have originally packed it in, that I’m sure I looked in multiple times on many different occasions. I knew I wouldn’t have forgotten to pack it! Seriously…
Calling all fabric lovers…
I thought it would be fun to do a poll of your favorite online fabric stores. I have my usuals that I look at, but I know there are always more out there that I haven’t stumbled across yet. Let me know, I think it would be fun to hear what sites other people like to shop.
