Fabric Apples

Found a free pattern for making fabric apples on Pinterest and had a very fun time making them! :)

These are Country Cottage inspired apples!

 These are Victorian inspired and I think they came out quite nice!

These apples can be used as pincushions or decorations.  

Happy Crafting Everyone! :D

Inspired by Marie Antoinette

Found this lovely picture of Marie Antoinette on Pinterest (it's in my Printing Ideas Board).  Also, happened to watch a documentary on the lady. 

Inspired to make a book box and an altered spoon.  I think they both came out quite nice! :)

Happy Crafting Everyone! :D

Tutorial 2 - Easy to make 3-fold bag

Today's easy tutorial is for a 3-fold small bag. 

1)  Prepare the fabric, length is 3 times the width. Mine is 12x36 inches.

                                     

2) Fold the fabric into 3 equal sections and mark out points A and B.

3)Sew with 1/2 inch seam allowance.

4) After completing the 2 seams, turn the bag over and tie a knot.

Hope you like this simple bag project! :)

Handmade Toys

Recently made several toys for my girls. These were great projects that involved them and we had a lot of fun too! :D

These 2 doll wall hangings were inspired by the Chinese Moon Goddess, Chang Er, and her pet rabbit. However, I couldn't find any bunnies so replace them with cute teddies instead! :)

I think these little Swiss Roll Cake Dollies also came out quite nice. :)

Happy Crafting Everyone! :)

Tutorial 1 - Easy To Make Fabric Tray

.

This is a very easy to make square fabric tray.  In this example. I am using 8x8 inches fabric squares (my sewing rulers are in inches),

Step 1:

Layer 1 pc of felt (or fleece) in between 2 pcs of fabric and sew together (on wrong side of the fabric) with 1/4" seam allowance. Remember to leave a small opening for turning over to the right side (of the fabric). Iron the fabric block flat. Top stitch 1/4" all around the block.

Step 2:

Mark the corners and points (to desired width) and sew points together (See picture below, points 1 to 3). 

Step 3:

Decorate or embellish, as desired. (See picture below, point 4)

.

Final Product! :).

Hope you enjoyed this project! Happy Crafting! :)
