Tutorial and pattern: Fabric and felt Christmas wreath

Tutorial and pattern: Fabric and felt Christmas wreathThis fabric wreath on a canvas can go anywhere in your house, not just the front door!  I designed the wreath on a canvas because most wreaths don’t show up on my dark red front door.  But when the wreath is framed by a canvas, then even dark greens will show up all the way from the street!  The wreath is made from quilting cotton with felt fused to the back, so the leaves and the bow have dimension and body. I’ve got a free pattern and tutorial for you over at Orange Bettie.

Sew Liberated Sewing Pattern – Arenite Pants

I was excited to try out the Arenite Pants pattern from Sew Liberated. And I have to say, I was not disappointed! The pants turned out exactly as described – deep-pocketed, slouchy, and incredibly versatile. I was also impressed by the level of detail in the instructions. The pattern included instructions for French seams, flat-felled seams, and a non-twist elastic waistband, making the final product feel like a well-crafted, made-to-last item.

I appreciated that the pattern was suitable for advanced beginners, as I am still learning the ins and outs of sewing pants. The fit was very forgiving, and I was able to get a great result even with my limited experience. I also appreciated the three leg finishing options – knit cuff, elasticated woven cuff, or a dressier hem – as it allowed me to customize the pants to my own taste.

The suggested fabric, raw silk noil or summery lyocell, made for a luxurious and comfortable pair of pants. I loved the end result and I receive many compliments every time I wear them. I would definitely recommend this pattern to anyone looking to add a new versatile and cozy item to their wardrobe.
