Tutorial: Folded fabric Christmas ornaments

Folded fabric ornaments are a unique and beautiful way to add a touch of elegance to your home decor. These ornaments are made from two circles of fabric that are folded and stitched together to create a mesmerizing and intricate design. If you’re looking for a fun and creative project to add to your DIY list, then you’re in luck! Crouton Crackerjacks is here to share a video tutorial on how you can make these stunning ornaments in the comfort of your own home.

I first discovered these ornaments while traveling in Japan. I was taken aback by their beauty and elegance and knew that I had to have one. I asked the shopkeeper about the artist who made them and was impressed by the amount of care and thoughtfulness that went into each piece. The intricate folds and precise stitching showcased the artist’s skill and attention to detail.

This experience inspired me to share this tutorial with you so that you too can make these beautiful ornaments for yourself or for your loved ones. The sewing process is actually pretty simple and straightforward, with just one seam and some hand stitches. You don’t have to be an expert seamstress to create these ornaments. They are suitable for all skill levels, and the video tutorial makes the process even more manageable.

These ornaments make the perfect handmade gift for your loved ones. They are an excellent way to show someone how much you care. The recipient will be amazed by the beauty and elegance of your creation, and they will treasure it for years to come.

Sew a Pincushion for Pins, Needles, and Fabric Clips

It doesn’t matter whether you sew by hand or by machine, you need a pincushion.  You need a spot to parks pins and needles and keep them within easy reach for when you need them again.  There are a lot of styles of pincushion to choose from.  Some magnetic, some fabric.  Some cute, some purely functional.  This “little bit extra” pincushion has a spot to store all the different types of pins and needles you might need while sewing.  Polka Dot Chair has a free sewing pattern you can use to make one for yourself.

This handy little pincushion has a circular shape and is divided into sections to store different types of pins.  The bottom section is for your regular straight pins.  Just poke them in and they’re ready for when you need them.  The top has one section with a felt flap perfect for holding your sewing needles.  I don’t know about you but I don’t like mixing my hand sewing needles in with my pins on a pincushion.  It makes it hard to find the needle when I want it.  So having a separate section for the needles is a great idea.

This “little bit extra” pincushion also has a spot to hold a few fabric clips.  Fabric clips have become popular alternatives to a traditional straight pin.  They hold fabric pieces together without piercing the fabric, which is important when sewing leather, vinyl, or other materials that will show permanent holes from pins.

You can sew the “little bit extra” pincushion from large fabric scraps or small fabric cuts (fat eighth).  You probably already have all the supplies you need to sew one in your sewing supplies already.
