Infinity Scarf

Hello! Here is the link to the tutorial for the infinity scarf: http://mykindofanonymousblog.blogspot.ca/2013/02/infinity-scarf-tutorial.html

Zippered Pouches

The girls really enjoyed making these! Here is the link to the directions I used: http://www.skiptomylou.org/2009/01/14/how-to-make-a-lined-zipper-pouch-tutorial/ This technique works well. I showed the Wednesday class that you can also iron under the top .5 inch on all pieces, then place them on either side of the zipper and top stitch all at once. Both techniques are good!

Drawstring bags

Drawstring Bag Materials: 1/4 yard of fabric 20” of fabric cord or ribbon (or make your own) Decide your size. Cut your fabric. Fold the fabric in half lengthwise, right sides together. On the wrong side of the fabric, draw a rectangle that is the desired size of your bag. Add 1” to the width for side seams, and 2 1/2” to the length for the casing and bottom seam. Cut two pieces. If making a fabric drawstring, cut a strip 3” wide and the desired length. (to figure out how long to make the string, double the width of the bag and add a few extra inches so you can knot the string.) With right sides together, stitch down one side, across the bottom and up the other side, stopping 2 inches from the top. Backstitch and cut the thread. Leaving a 1 1/2 inch gap, stitch the last 1/2 inch to the top edge, back stitching on both ends. Press the seam open and stitch about 2 inches down the seam allowances on either side of the opening. Clip the bottom corners and trim the seam allowances. Press under 1/2 inch of the top raw edge, then press under another 1 1/2 inches. Top stitch along the bottom of the fold. Using a safety pin, thread the ribbon or cord through the hole and around to the other side. Knot the ends. (Directions from Sew What! Bags by Lexie Barnes)

Hoot! Owls!

Project 8: Owls!! Take your main fabric. Fold it over, so it is doubled, right sides facing. Pin the body template to your fabric. Cut around the template carefully. Find your accent fabrics. Cut out two wings, two big circles and two small circles, and a beak. Pin and glue the accents onto your top body piece. Sew the accents onto your top body piece. You can use a straight stitch or a zig-zag. Stay as close to the edge of your pieces as you can. Place your decorated front body piece to your back body piece, right sides facing. Pin. Sew around the edges of both pieces with at 1/2 inch seam allowance. Leave 3 inches open for turning out. Turn your owl right side out. Stuff. Sew the opening closed.
