Posts Tagged ‘tutorial’Free Pincushion PatternsMonday, October 18th, 2010I was searching for some projects to make with some fabric scraps and came across some free pincushion patterns over at Tipnut.
So here you go… a list of 60+ Free Pincushion Patterns from Tipnut! P.S. The winner of the monthly gift certificate and sewing pattern giveaway (September 2010) is Shannon S from British Columbia. Congrats Shannon! Tutorial: Fabric NecklaceFriday, October 1st, 2010The holidays are just a few weeks away (I still can’t believe it’s already Fall!) and I’m getting into crafting mode here. With scrapbooks to put together, soap to make, figuring out what cookies to bake for a cookie exchange and now, I just added some fabric necklaces on to the “To Make” list. Thank you to Kristie over at OCD: Obsessive Crafting Disorder who put together a step by step tutorial for making these fabric necklaces – my job is now much much easier as I don’t have to go hunting for instructions come November (I hope that’s enough time to make about 10 of them – I think it might be!).
Kristie also has a few other tutorials that look like they will end up on my “To Make” list (when the holidays are over – because I like to keep the stress to a minimum around holiday time If you haven’t visited the OCD blog yet, do take some time out this week to drop by. *HINT: There’s a coupon code, a Pink Panda Fabrics and a pouch giveaway over there! Just sayin’. Have a great weekend, friends! Tutorial: Fabric HeadboardMonday, September 27th, 2010Wooo! Found a tutorial for a fabric headboard a few weeks ago (just in time too because I was thinking about getting one for a guest room but didn’t have a very big budget for one). Brooke of All Things Thrifty has a tutorial up on her blog about how to make a fabric headboard.  Fabric Headboard Tutorial by All Things Thrifty Looks somewhat simple enough for one person to do (although I may need a bit of help from someone – hint to the husband!) to mount the pieces oh the backer board. Have you ever done this sort of thing? Made a non traditional (for example, non metal / non wood headboard)? Tutorial: DIY Fabric Fortune CookiesSunday, May 30th, 2010Another no sew project here to tell you about! This time its for fabric fortune cookies.  Fabric Fortune Cookies - Sweetspot.ca Chantal Simmons of sweethome has a step by step tutorial on how to make these cookies. They are just too cute! Too bad they’re not edible (yup, I’m a foodie!). Thanks Chantal! And for those who are foodies like myself, she has a few food projects on her blog. Including Cake Pops. Yum. Probably shouldn’t be surfing for these things before dinner time…. Tutorial: DIY Fabric Covered Flower PotsWednesday, May 19th, 2010It’s bright and sunny over here and the long weekend is just around the corner (Happy Victoria Day to all our Canadian friends, and Happy Memorial Day to all our American friends one week early!). My husband and I started a little flower garden (ok more like a patch) in the front yard and we’re looking for a place for a big vegetable garden. I suppose it might be a bit late to start but we’re still gonna try to grow some tomatoes this year. And eggplant.  Fabric Covered Flower Pots tutorial by Lavendar and Limes Anyways, for those looking for a no sew project and are into gardening, Lavendar and Limes has a tutorial for fabric covered flower pots Beautiful aren’t they? They’d be great as centrepieces at a baby shower and an outdoor garden dinner party or afternoon tea party. Happy Mod Podging (is that a real word? Ah well… you know what I mean!) Tutorial: DIY Hanging Book HolderSaturday, April 17th, 2010Thanks to Jennifer @ Papaya Studios I now have a fabric project on my to do list that isn’t a blanket or clothing. This looks much easier for a beginner sewist like me! Here’s her step by step tutorial on how to make a hanging book holder.
Best thing about this is that it doesn’t take up floor space like a traditional book shelf does. We need all the floor space we can get in our daughter’s room. Thanks so much Jennifer! This is a project that both my husband and I can do. Most of the time he’s not that into my sewing projects. He’ll be happy when I tell him this project requires a trip to the hardware store :) If you have a tutorial you’d like to share, send us a link and we’ll post it as soon as we can. |
