    Bali Beach Coverup to Sew in No Time

    July 13, 2024 /

    Bali Beach Coverup We’re headed to Bali with Sulky in October! During this fantastic Craftours trip, we will head to a Batik Expo and learn to make our own Batik fabric. Batik fabric is a great choice for this coverup project, which sews up in no time with minimal materials! You can also use the same method to make an easy robe or lounge cardigan, using different fabrics for different looks. (My featured fabric shown in this post is regrettably NOT Batik fabric! I will need to get some in Bali this October and make a second one!) Join us in Bali this October 2024 and bring YOUR Bali Beach…

    Winter Wearables to Sew

    January 2, 2023 /

     Winter Wearables garments to sew for winter to keep you warm & cozy Winter wearables are often loose-fitting garments that are easily layered for temperatures that fluctuate day to day (and even hour to hour in some places).

GO-TO WINTER STYLES A comfy cardigan is a great addition to your winter wardrobe, as it’s easily layered and constructed out of multiple fabric substrates. Choose a knit-friendly pattern, such as the Blackwood Cardigan by Helen’s Closet. This winter wearable is a great transitional piece for early spring,…

    Serger Scarf with Frilly Edges

    April 22, 2022 /

    Serger Scarf Create a quick-and-easy serger scarf using lightweight jersey fabric. Choose a decorative thread, such as Sulky 30 wt. Cotton Blendables™, for the rolled hem edges, as the thread is easily the star of this project. Poly Deco™, a 40 wt. thread typically used for machine embroidery, is also a great choice when a colorful sheen is desired. This project is an excerpt from the book Serger 101: a Field Guide, by Katrina Walker.
