I’ve been busy making gnomes. One of my grandsons wants to go on the end-of-the-year trip to Washington D.C. and New York City. Because he has some medical challenges due to a rare disease called Prune Belly Syndrome, he will have to take an adult with him which means it is double the money toContinue reading “Gnomes Galore!”

Rag Tassels
This post is part of my Ugly Stash series. What to do with Ugly Fabric? I had so much fun making these rag tassels from my Ugly Stash and from ribbons and beads that I didn’t want to stop but I had to because I didn’t know what to do with them once they wereContinue reading “Rag Tassels”
What to do with Ugly Fabric?
Below is a list of inventive ideas what to do with ugly fabric. I recently received bags (big white garbage bags) of fabric from my ex mother-in-law which was so very nice of her and I don’t mean to complain but some of the fabric was flat out ugly. I tried to search for aContinue reading “What to do with Ugly Fabric?”
Organizing Fabric
Just thinking about organizing my fabric was daunting. I have fabric everywhere in my craft room. I have tried organizing it before but with limited space, I had few choices so it all ended up in big plastic totes and two dressers. Every time I need something, I have to dig into the totes andContinue reading “Organizing Fabric”

I cut a piece of shelf liner and glued it onto one side of my hanger. I put rubber cement onContinue reading “Non-Slip Hangers”

Card making is something that I have never been able to do well but I amContinue reading “DIY Christmas Card with Window”
DIY Pin Cushion on a Canister
I had to stop all my projects to make a pin cushion. The pin cushion I was using was lopsided and hard so every time I pulled a pin out while I was sewing, I had to stop to wrestle with the pin cushion. It was seriously messing with my flow. Now, you would thinkContinue reading “DIY Pin Cushion on a Canister”
Steampunk Face Mask
This is more of a show and tell than a how to because I think there are a lot of tutorials on how to sew a face mask. I have made hundreds of masks in different styles. I donated a bunch and sold some too. I just added some steampunk details to these. I triedContinue reading “Steampunk Face Mask”
Steampunk Faux Leather Arm Bracer
This should have been a snap to make but I ran into a few snags. Maybe by sharing them, others won’t make the same mistakes I did. This is part of my series on the Steampunk outfits I am making for Halloween for my boyfriend and me. The first thing I did was measure aroundContinue reading “Steampunk Faux Leather Arm Bracer”
