Hello, friends! Today’s video is a short and sweet update on my half square triangle quilt plan, with HUGE thanks to Abbie for the assist! I also made a cover for my hub’s 3D printer set up. Be sure to stay to the end for some greedy Iliad pets!
A Western Screech Owl recently left us a little gift. In this video, I’ll piece back what’s left of the small plush elephant that I suspect was previously a Valentine (look for the scraps of pink heart) into something recognizeable using only what I had on hand. While I did use a tiny bit of machine sewing, this was mostly a repaired by hand sewing all the little rips and tears, as well as filling spots where fabric was missing.
This is not a tutorial, but I hope if you have a stuffed animal in need of repair, you might find it useful for inspiration. Questions? Please leave a comment!
This week finds me sharing some thrift finds, practicing nail art, and rescuing a much maligned plush elephant! There’s a WHOLE story there, lol. Stay until the end for a Western Screech Owl cameo.
Hello, my friends. It was hard to get in front of the camera today, but I really think I needed it. I felt so much better after chatting with you all.
This week I chat about my shirt repair and more HST blocks. Big shout out to Michelle for suggesting lace, which pointed me in the direction I was looking for.
A couple of people asked for a better view of my HST quilt plan, so here it is! I am only using half square triangles for each block and I do have a few blanks let that will eventually need blocks added, but this is such a casual project, I’m in no rush. I’ve made 11 so far, left to right starting with the top row.
Hello, friends! This week I chat about my tentative plan for my growing collection of scrappy half-square triangles, dying a pair of sweatpants for my husband, BRIEFLY about my first venture into gel extensions, and about what I will be getting up to this week. Stay until the end for a thirsty blue jay. ♥
Happy Tuesday, friends. I’m back this week with the rest of the hst blocks that are on my wall pieced as well as an updated to my (current!) favorite thrifted jacket.
For those keeping track of my nail journey, last week I leveled up my nail game and have done my first ever gel set + stamps. Look for the kitty theme! I may have a nail chat soon for anyone who is interested.
Welcome to my sewing room for a short and sweet video chatting about HST blocks, Fandom in Stitches, and a bag made from a birdseed bag! Stay to the end for some honky geese spotted on a recent weekend visit to a nearby pond.
For anyone following my nail journey, today’s nails are medium length coffin shaped with Holo Taco polish. ♥
This week I chat about why most of my half square triangles are still just hst units, share a few labels made using my Cricut, and have a Fandom in Stitches chat.
Hello, friends. I’m here as usual, bringing you love and warm fuzzies from my sewing room. Be sure to stay until the end for some winter wildlife video.
Over the last week, I did some scrappy HST sewing for myself, did a tiny bit of shopping with a friend, updated my serger station, and then proceeded to be iced in for a couple of days.
Please leave a comment and let me know what HST blocks I should use in my scrappy sampler!
The thread cutter my husband made for me came from the Bambu Labs community. He’s working as I type this, and I will add a link later if possible. In the meantime, try searching “45mm thread cutter flower.”
Welcome back to my sewing room! This week I talk about a new quilt top, share a machine embroidered repair for stains on a thrifted top, share the nail products I’m using*, and share two small finishes for my eldest.
