Sewing Work Space

September 30th, 2009 by saraprettyfun

I absolutely love to see other artist’s workspace. It’s like a little glimpse into the mind of the creator and what inspires them. Here are a few of my favorites plus a couple peeks at mine.

My little sewing corner with bulletin boards filled with things that inspire me.

Here is a look at Amy Butler’s Studio:

What I wouldn't give to have all of that space!

Alison Rose has a bright and colorful sewing studio.

I just love the framed vintage patterns

I cannot get over the color combination in the next studio.  The teal and pink together kind of makes me want to squeal with delight, kind of the same way you do when you see a cute puppy for the first time! Look at the chinese lanterns and crocheted slippers on the wall!  I couldn’t resist showing two pictures of this studio.

Love those teal walls!

Yo-Yo Maddness!

July 27th, 2009 by Kendra

Fun notions that you can do with children are hard to find. Luckily, Clover has done it again with a series of yo-yo makers. This quick handwork is easy — great for watching TV, a rainy day, day camp, etc.

yo-yo-picture1Not only can you use your fabric scraps to make them, you can also turn them into something else — embellish a t-shirt, jacket, or bag, make a doll or wreath, use it as a key chain and more!

Check out the instructional video from Nancy’s Notions on how to use these great yo-yo makers, along with some project ideas!

Handmade Critters

July 21st, 2009 by Kendra

Plush handmade critters are quite the hot item. They’re cute, easy and fun to make and everyone seems to love them! Etsy, a place where you can buy handmade items, has a category with sub-categories for hij-crittersandmade plush dolls.

Stephanie and I recently attended a handmade fair, several of the booths featured cute plush stuffed animals. These aren’t your ordinary  stuffed animals, they’re unique in every way possible — shape, size, material, embellishments, etc.

Indygo Junction, one of our favorite pattern makers, recently came out with a Zipper Critters pattern. These step-by-step instructions can help get you started on this hot and easy sewing trend.

What kind of critter have you made?
