Fun Fri~ Envelope Style Pillow Covers for the Deck

Can you see where the fabric came from

in this room?

 A roll of curtain fabric

I got at Restore.

 

Thought I needed 4,

but only had 3 more pillows.

One was already covered

as a test.

 

Fun Fri is what we make of it.

At least it made me feel better to

have these done 

before the end of summer.

Fun Fri~Prepping Dryer Sheets for Scrappy Fabric Projects

 

  

My Scrappy Fabric Projects

such as

cards

bookmarks

tags

 

I need a base to place the scraps of fabric.

 

 

 

I rarely use

scraps of embroidery stabilizer

because it's too stiff.

Instead I recycle used fabric softener dryer sheets.

Above is a bag of sheets

my Mother's Caregivers

saved for me back in 2012.

I've decided it's a bottomless bag.

 

They were wadded and thrown in this bag,

thus

they don't lay flat.

Since they still have a residue on them

that brown the base of my iron,

 I take about 4 at a time

and lay them as flat as possible

between teflon sheets.

Then I press.

It doesn't take long.

It is a wonderful smell job.

I do realize some folks can't use these

because of the smell or chemicals.

When I finally use them,

I don't smell them.

 

I prep about a dozen at a time.

Then I store them flat under my cutting mat

to wait to be used on the next project.

When these 12 are used,

I pull out the bottomless bag again.

 

It's a quick fun chore.

 

 

Tues Tutorial~ Scrappy Bible Verses for Moods Bookmark

I couldn't make the Bible Table of Content Bookmarks fast enough. They were grabbed off the free table.  As I was going through Pinterest one day, lists of Bible verses for various reasons kept popping up. Then I thought, "Why not another bookmark?" So I did. I'm sharing a picture of the sheet that I made using the free Open Office Spreedsheet. You can download the picture and print it.

Tuesday Tutorial

******************

 

First lay out your pallet aka piles of small pieces of scrap fabric.

 

 It's a good way to use your tiny scraps you tend to throw away,

 because this is all I had leftover

 from the piles above after making 12 bookmarks.

Sometimes I lay pieces haphazardly over a used dryer sheet, 

then stitch around the raw edges.

Sometimes I stitch along one side of the piece 

as I lay it next to another.

Below, I made a small panel to cut a heart shape.

After I've made the fabric

I lay it on the printed document.

Sometimes, I print on paper and lightly glue to card stock,

sometimes I print directly on the card stock. 

 

Then I stitch in the blank area provided

that goes around the information on the bookmark

as shown below.

 Then I being careful not to cut the stitching,

the bookmarks are cut apart with scissors.

You could use a rotary cutter. 

 

The fun comes when you turn them over to see

how they turned out.

Much like the results of the paper craft world

using a master board.

EnJOY making these and giving them away.

Mon Memory~ 1st Grand Daughter's 2024 Bday Card

 

 

In June she went on a cruise to Bermuda.

So......

Here is a palm tree with the sunrise or sunset.

 

 

Next time, so I don't have to pick out paper,

I think I'll just draw a reverse on

the iron interfacing side.

The interfacing was used to help the 3D effect.

The tucks in the water area are intentional.

To try to give a wave texture to the ocean.

Hope you had a Happy Birthday M.
