Crafting Around the Web

]]> Because there’s always room for one more project, one more inspiring article or one more new piece of fiber artwork…

  • Would you like to sew your own soft and cuddly t-shirt quilt, but aren’t quite sure how to deal with the issues of sewing stretchy fabric?  Here’s a great 5-part tutorial on transforming your own t-shirts into a quilt.
  • Need a quick and easy way to add some more style to your dining room table?  Take some pretty fabric, add the inner roll from some plastic wrap, and voila – napkin rings!

  • Turn the traditional lazy daisy stitch upside down and create a whole new flower with this how-to from Sublime Stitching.
  • If you’re like me, you probably have more buttons than you could possibly ever use…  Why not transform them into a decorative pillow, rather than just letting them sit in jars?
  • Check out what happens with fabric and technology collide – these amazing light fixtures are made out of a new type of non-woven polyester fabric.

Happy Crafting!

  • Sweet Sassafrass has a great tutorial for re-working an older sweater – yay for re-purposing!
  • Wow – these sewing-themed tattoos are amazing…
  • Maya Made has an adorable how-to on sewing a little felt basket for Spring – perfect as an Easter basket.
  • I would have loved making these charming little wooden spool people from Mr. Monkeysuit when I was a child, actually – I think I would still enjoy making them today :-)
