A few years ago, while visiting a Quilt Show I came across a darling display of tiny little pincushions that immediately caught my eye! I love all things miniature and this looked like a tiny little cake! The secret to the perfect little circular shape is a bottle cap, you heard me right, a bottle cap! Pair it with some wool felt, adorable ribbon, your hand sewing skills, and make a teeny tiny keepsake pincushion for years to come!
In Part 3 we have a special treat! Donna Kinley is joining us to share a treasured keepsake pincushion tutorial. Follow along as she demonstrates how to turn something special into a life-long treasured keepsake!
In Part 2, I’m going to show you how to make a darling little circle puff pincushion. In the process of creating this keepsake, we’ll brush up on a few hand sewing skills - the whipstitch and the satin stitch or buttonhole stitch. Once you make one, I’m sure you’ll be hooked and make many in different color combinations.
Hi Everyone! Welcome to the topic Sewing Pretty Little Pincushions! This will be a great opportunity to practice many of the skills and techniques we've demonstrated in prior SWC topics. We can put them into practice as we work together to create beautiful keepsake pincushions! What I love about pincushions is that they are not just practical, but frequently a special keepsake, something passed down from a grandmother or sewing mentor.
Hi Everyone! In Part 4, we wrap up the rainwear fabrics' topic with the final steps in the Pepper Hill sew-along. Over the course of this topic we've spent some time looking at the qualities and characteristics of different rainwear fabrics, how to sew with them, and how to best choose them for your project. In Part 3 we began the sew-along and demonstrated sewing the hood. In this final installment we will finish up sewing the coat together!
Hi Everyone! Now that we've prepped and prepared, we're ready to begin sewing the Pepper Hill Raincoat together! In Part 3, we will sew the Hood and the Hood Lining.
Hi Everyone! In Part 2 we explore the possibilities of creating super cute custom rainwear with custom made vinyl coated cotton fabric.
