Robot Finger Puppets...

I made these felt robot finger puppets for one of the little people in the family, last Christmas and they were very well received. 

Fancy Feet...

Rikka, from Ricochet and Away, has announced her latest challenge... the Fancy Feet Sewing Challenge. To quote, Rikka... March's challenge is all about those tricky sewing machine feet that sit in our sewing boxes and never get used.

Hmmm.... I have one or two, or three or .... fifteen sewing machine feet, or presser feet. Yikes!!! That's a lot and I know I haven't used them all.

Two fabulous projects added to the Sewing Accessories link party.

Quilted Sewing Machine Cover Tutorial by Ros, from Sew Delicious

I hate to admit it, but on the odd occasion that I cover my machines, it's with tea towels. I really need to sew a proper cover, like this one.

Big Kid Bibs...

This month I've made 5 bibs as my contribution to Kristy's sew-along, over at Hopeful Threads, in support of Hidden Treasures Home of Loaves and Fishes International.

Earbud Pouches...

Just a quick post today to show you some more Christmas presents I made last year, using the free tutorial over at Dog Under My Desk.... earbud pouches. I've had the tutorial pinned on my Free Tutorials Pinterest board for ages.

Sweet Pouch Swap...

Early in January, I signed up for the Sweet Pouch Swap, over at Sew Delicious... make a zippered pouch, pop in some chocolates or sweets and put it in the post for our assigned partner, by Friday, 15th February.

How to Add Bias Binding to a Dress...

Bias binding is a very easy way to finish off necklines and armholes, in place of facings or linings. Today I'll show you how to add bias binding to neaten the edges on a dress.

There are several ways to attach bias binding. The method I'll show you, results in the bias binding being hidden on the inside of the dress.

Shirt Dress...

Take a man's dress shirt, combine it with a woman's blouse and you have everything you need to make a girl's dress... no need to buy anything.

How to Add Piping to a Dress...

Piping is a great way to add contrast and a pop of colour between two fabrics. The piping can contain cord or not. Today I'll show you the super easy option: how to add piping, without a cord. It's so easy, I can hardly call this a tutorial, but if you are new to sewing, it may be a technique you are unfamiliar with and one you can master without difficulty.

Library Bags ~ Tutorials Galore...

As it was the beginning of the year in Australian schools, at the end of last month I showed you how to make a basic library bag; a requirement for most Primary School aged children. Following on from the basic library bag tutorial, were 4 more library bags, all variations of the original tutorial. Today, I'm bringing all the library bag tutorials together and adding to the collection, with links to tutorials from around the Internet.

Two awesome baby quilts, added to the Quilting and Patchwork link party. Quilters have a language of their own and I'm slowly learning what some of the abbreviations mean.

Love is in the air...

This week I'm joining in with Season 6, Project Run and Play, for the theme Love is in the air. I knew I had the perfect fabric in my stash; a Japanese fabric, Sevenberry, bought on sale some time ago.
