Patterns, Techniques, Articles, Blogs, and other resources to learn how to sew
I just posted a review of Sew Wild: Creating with Stitch and Mixed Media
by Alisa Burke. It’s over in the Giveaways section here at Craft Gossip, and I’ve got a copy to give away to one lucky reader. Go check out the review and get yourself entered.
The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!
It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.
Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
I love all of the pics I’ve never tried this kind of project I’d love to learn how I think it would be great to make a wall hanging and applique onto a jacket or shirt
The front cover project is beautiful. I am sure every piece would be.
the mix of ideas in this book makes me want to make loads of things!! I think I’d probably make some wall hangings while trying out some or all of the techniques in the book!
Mix media is my thing. I enjoy making my own cloth and using it to make items for the home and cloths.
A fabulous book no doubt! Have been following Alisa’s blog fo a while. I’m planning to make some cushions for my new conservatory.This will provide me with ideal inspiration!
I am ready to sew wild
