giniscanlan wrote a new post, Here begins the Scrap-Busting! 8 years, 4 months ago
So this month I’m sharing the first of my ‘Scrap-Buster’ patterns. I don’t know any sewist who can bear to throw away scraps of fabric… after all, you never know when it might come in handy! You might notice th…

It’s lovely 🙂

Thanks Alison! I hope you have fun making it x

Such a cute and useful project…..one can never have enough pin cushions. Great blog Gini x
-
I’m going to give this a go. Thank you

What a lovely little project. I’m with you on scrap storing – I think it stems from my early playgroup leader days when we had to gather resources from everywhere and make the most of what we had (no money to buy things). I still ‘hoard’ to recycle now. Another thing to try – exciting.

I hope you enjoy the various methods of making these cute little blocks. I love the size of 2 1/2″ squares, they are kind of my go-to size for squares, so the following tutorial is based on that size.

Very well explained Abigail, I love the step by step images too. So easy to follow. Thank you.

Thanks for visiting and commenting Carol. I am very happy that I wrote all this down because until it becomes second nature to me it is great to be able to refer to it – rather than having to figure it out every time!

Abigail Sheridan de Graaff wrote a new post, cut&alter – An Introduction 8 years, 4 months ago
Where do I begin? Just make a mark, they say. Just cut the fabric, they say. But sometimes it seems so much harder than that. It’s that whole blank page thing – wanting to get that first page just right. …

I’m following your Fancy Forest quilt along, I’ve had the pattern for ages; I tried an owl, which went wrong, and then a fox that turned out just right. You might just inspire me to try that owl again 🙂
-
Hi Alison the pattern had sat on my shelf for nearly two years so a QAL seemed a perfect excuse to actually get it made. I was looking at the owl today …. hmmmm glad I didn’t start with that. You can join in any time if you fancy – thistles for January and Bunnies for February. Thanks for popping by and taking the time to leave a comment.

Hi Sarah,
Thank you for the compliment on my choice of themes for my first blog. Will you be giving this a try?
Do let me know,

I will be giving this a go, when time allows. x

Helpful blog, I’ve bought a boring desk diary this year, now off to cover it! Thank you 🙂
-
Hi Heather
I am really glad that you have found the blog useful. As I said to Judith in my reply to her, I would suggest for your first attempt that you buy a cheap diary. Don’t use your best fabric – use a cheap one first of all. Try following the instructions that I have given (if you can!!!) and if need be, watch a tutorial on YouTube for a bit of back up help.
I would really love to see your finished results Heather if you can post it onto the blog….but be warned, once you start covering books it becomes very addictive!
Regards, Jo x

Fantastic and really informative post, can’t wait for your next one x

Hi Gini,
Thank you for such positive feedback. I am plased you liked the blog and found it informative enough. It’s certainly daunting being a new to this blogging lark!
after reading your review I know where to come if I need help!
Regards, Jo x

Brilliant, not something I would have done in the past but you have had this task so simple, I should have a go.
-
Hi Judith
So glad that you liked the blog, and is now something you are willing to give a go. I would suggest for your first attempt that you buy a cheap diary (the ones from the shops where that you pay literally 99p or £1 for. Don’t use your best fabric – use a cheap one first of all. Try following the instructions that I have given (if you can!!!) and if need be, watch a tutorial on YouTube for a bit of back up help.
Let me know how you get on Judith,
Regards Jo x

Lovely little blog Jo, I make lots of book covers and really enjoy making them. I love Tilda fabric as well and have made some of her items – my favourite is a seabird who has very long legs and lives in my bathroom. Looking forward to next months blog x

Thank you for your kind words Sue……I am a Tilda freak. There are Tilda makes all around the flat!
