Bungalow Quilting & Yarn - The Uptown in Any Town
So, last year I taught this class. But, it was kind of done informally. I had a group of ladies That took my blended hexagon class in Houston. We added a stripe to the blocks and took off! Whoosh! They loved it. Here’s what I am talking about. I am going to give the directions, or the pattern, for doing this. There’s a magic number in this pattern. I cannot
So I discovered something today in my sewing room. I was playing around with an 8 1/2” triangle ruler. Mostly, I was making pennants. But you know how it goes. You start doing one thing, and you get ideas. Everyone knows that 6 triangles that are equilateral will make a hexagon. That’s a given. But I wanted to see if I could make a triangle out of a layer cake
Have you ever wanted to make pennants? These little decorative goodies are simple but they can require a lot of cutting. Well, what if you could just make them using charm packs? Yes, you can accomplish this and I am going to show you how. Here’s how they look when finished. I think that they’re pretty fun hanging over my mantle. You can hang them anywhere…in any room that just
So just when you thought you needed a little fun in your day, we’re here to provide it. Have you heard of Creative Spark? It’s C&T’s online educational platform. Think Craftsy but better. Why better? Because the instructors are extremely vetted. We have to have an intense knowledge of sewing, fabrics, and how they interplay. It is the most experienced and knowledgeable people out there. Now that we’ve gotten that

Did you know that you can make a banner from any panel? Watch this video and let the ideas start flowing!
Here’s my next 2 minute tutorial. Did you know that you can make a fun little skirt for any child using any fabric? Yes, this could be adapted for an adult, but you would need to use 2 widths of fabric instead of just one. All you would need to do is make it longer, unless you like skirts that are like Daisy Duke shorts lol. And you would also
Hello sewists! This is the first in my series of 2 minute tutorials. I know how exasperating it can be to watch a long video of a concept or technique. I will still be doing a lot of those. I have been doing videos for Creative Spark which is the video educational platform for C&T Publishing. These are creative, in depth videos of techniques and patterns. But, I wanted to
They’re here! I have completed my placemats. With a few bright colors you can be on your way to a bright table top. Watch the video and download the pattern https://www.etsy.com/listing/1049371665/fruit-slice-placemats-pattern?ref=shop_home_active_1 and you will love the results. These would make great gifts too.
Every time I am in a Goodwill, no matter which city I am in, I always run the the department where there is wall art. What I am really hunting for is cast off needle point or counted cross stitch.
