Cuddle fabric is a polyester material
Unbelievably soft, warm and cuddly! Perfect for making  soft toys, baby blankets, jackets or lounge wear. Use it for a backing on a quilt. It is machine washable and dryable and that makes it the perfect material!
For the pink full length leggings I used my pattern and extended the legs to make them full length. To view the pattern click the image below:
Take a look at Shannon Fabrics….

Isn’t that a huge selection?? They even have more than that!
 You can find Cuddle at specialty local fabric and quilt shops in your area and online. To get a retailer list please contact Shannon Fabrics.

Feature – Custom Made Curvy Frames & More

by Leave a Comment

My hobby besides sewing is definitely crafting and that includes decorating. I recently came across an etsy shop called
Zzbob’s Creative Woodworking and they hand make beautiful shapes out of wood.

The following curvy frames just arrived at my house and now they are waiting to be turned into something beautiful! I also received something extra for a review!

Read what Pam and Bob say about their business:

“Bob loves to work with wood but he also loves trees, so we use lot of reclaimed wood. Then we purchase the rest from Forest Council certified suppliers.
We believe that with a little thought and effort, we can all have beautiful things without harming the earth. He loves to make “wood pictures”,an art form called Intarsia. He also does scroll work,wood puzzles, jewelry and keepsake boxes—you get the picture.
Pam loves to work with glass and tile, and sometimes we team up for some mixed media creations. If you are looking for something special, let us make it for you! We love getting orders for custom pieces. We like to help bring your ideas to life!”

My first step is to take on those frames and prime it. Stay tuned for the finished project!

Free Tutorial – Reversible Headscarf

by 9 Comments


A while back I made a reversible headscarf to go with my SCRAPPY TWIRL SKIRT pattern and today I want to share it with you!

Here’s what you want to do:

Cut 2 pieces of fabric (quilters cotton works best) in a triangle shape with the longest edge being 8″ and the 2 smaller edges being 7″ long for sizes up to 2t, sizes up to 6 would be 9x8x8 or to your liking) Place your 2 pieces with right sides together………..
 Pn and sew the 2 shorter edges (I placed arrows)
 Trim off pointy corner……………..
 turn triangle inside out and trim off peeking out tips………….
 Cut a 2×40″ strip of complementing fabric for the ties and make binding out of it by folding the long edges into the middle and press with iron:
 Then fold strip once more………….
 ………this should now be your prepared binding:
 Press triangle and place next to binding, matching both of the center:
 Pin triangle to the right side of the binding’s print:
 Sew along the dashed line which is slightly next to the crease:
 This is how your sewn together pieces should look like:
 Fold the binding over the triangle’s top edge and pin:
 Fold in both binding’s ends to 1/4″
 and refold binding so it looks like this:
 Keep pinning entire binding and sew close to the open edge:
 Backstitch beginning and end of both sides of binding (small edges) and now you should be done! Take a little girl and make her model for you:
