| Cake, anyone? |
Here's how I made the Bookmarks for Margaret for one of our annual exchanges.
 |
| Always start with a draft. Sorry about the photo quality, did this very late at night. |
 |
| A little graphic design knowledge can help a lot. The templates printed out as cutting and sewing guides. I am using Heat & Bond to fuse my fabric to felt. |
 |
| Select your fabrics. I used some of the jelly roll leftovers I kept aside. |
 |
| Place the template over the cloth to measure how much fabric and Heat & Bond is needed. |
 |
| All ironed and set. |
 |
| Once you have the template cut and layered accordingly, place on felt of your choice. |
 |
| I used some kitchen twine from Daiso. Measure your twine to your liking. Tie knots on each end. |
 |
| Begin sewing individual cut fabric onto the felt. Don't forget to insert the twine. That is part of a bookmark! LOL! |
 |
| Sew the other end piece to the matching bookmarks and Tada! You can opt to use ribbons. |
 |
| Here's the whole set. |
 |
| I'm a little teapot! |
 |
| Inspired by our Dearest Beloved Friend Janet! |
 |
| All packaged with a printed label. |
 |
| Hope you like them MW! |
ANNIVERSARY GIFTS
 |
| The Fish for the Fish challenge. |
 |
| It's a little snap purse. Constructed him as I went, so no template for this fish. Decided to add a crochet trim for the mouth the very last minute. |
 |
| All the handmade goodies in a box + extra things to make any crafter do a happy dance. LOL! |
 |
| I made this pouch from an oil cloth I bought online. The heart-shaped pom pom is handmade too. |
 |
| A little macaron zipper pouch. Love the front! See the wee little buttons? |
 |
| Handstitched most of this! |
 |
| The back is a little felt cutout with the tiniest button and bow attached. |
 |
| Ah! It's a little needle and stash keepsake purse. |
