Sweet Little Embellishment!

Sweet Little Embellishment

I am having a great time getting ready for Christmas. I am working wildly on sewing projects right now. So it only goes hand in hand that my eBosser should be included in the trip!

So I decided to do a quickie project so that I could take care of  and still have energies for the Thanksgiving marathon.

Fiskar’s Mini Design Set Flowers is what I have chosen to use for my embellishment on my Hipster purse.

Supplies:

Any small shoulder pouch (I used Embroidery Garden’s Hipster in the hoop embroidery project for my project)

Fabric to match purse

Heat n Bond to sandwich in-between the fabric to be cut

Four A-plates for the sandwich. I used three on the bottom and one above the material that was being cut.

thread and a needle or a sewing machine to attach the flower.

I sewed the small flowers on top of the two larger ones. Then I tacked them on my purse. Very simple but still added the touch I needed.

This really did take the bare envelope appearance and added just a nice touch to this cute bag. Please come to my blog for more information on the Hipster pattern.

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and now the fun part starts getting ready for Christmas,

Best, Debi

Fun with Cheery Lynn Dies Part 1

Fun with Cheery Lynn Dies

Part 1

This is a two part project post as it requires a little more to give non-sewers options to make the finished product. I don’t want to spoil the reveal so I will tell you the method and techniques I used for the parts I made this week. You have to come back next week to see what the final project is…

I am so excited to do this so…

NO PEEKING

Camera 360

Well you can see by the photo that this is a recycling project and I will also share that it is a fabric project too! I am making another of those cool Steampunk items for my crazy relative. I decided to make my gift a super neat kind to the environment recycled project. I am using a two-liter soda bottle to make my special rings.

So here is the supply list:

a two liter soda bottle with the top and bottom cut off

I used a rubber band to roll the plastic very tight and left like this for several days.

Aluminum duct tape

Cheery Lyn Gear Die (LOVE THIS ONE)

B361__60783.1372691486.1280.1280

Craftwell eBosser

Sandwich:

A, B, C, D

Masking tape to transfer the tape to the plastic

A bone folder to smooth the tape

I first cut the Gear Die out of the aluminum tape . I love the sharp cut I get using the Craftwell eBosser.  I then place the masking tape over the metal tape after I weeded the unwanted parts off of the piece.

I cut the plastic from the two liter bottle to the size I wanted very close the the size of the aluminum tape’s width. I next transferred the design to the plastic. I used the bone folder to rub the design onto the plastic to secure it.

Camera 360

Now it is still a mystery project until the reveal next week but if you look closely you can see a special hint in the photo. There may be a pressing of fabric around. I am so excited and can’t wait to show you the second half. So while you wait can you venture a guess as to what I am making? Please leave a comment below for me! Have a great week and get ready for the second part next week.

Something new for me

I am so excited I was working on a project and used blue painters tape with an embossing folder.  I was using my favorite machine my eBosser. The tape held the impression very deep and clear. I love the emboss that my eBosser makes consistantly. After trying to decide what I could make with it, I decided to fill the tape with hot glue to see if I could make a stamp with it. Well it could be better with practice but I am thrilled with my outcome. I had to post asap. Happy Thanksgiving to all. Debi

Laying Down the Gauntlet

Laying Down the SteamPunk Gauntlet!

I am so inspired by fabric after coming back from the International Quilt Market and Festival. I had the pleasure of seeing many of the new fabrics and ideas coming right around the corner. So I have new drive to create with fabric. Besides the holiday season always is the reason for me to sew. I always try to do a handmade holiday.  So bring it on…LOL!

Here is my project using some great Cheery Lyn Dies!

I now will take a break and cut my heat Glitter Vinyl with my eBosser. It is very simple. I used plates DBC on the bottom, Next the Cheery Lyn Die and then the vinyl on top and lastly the A plate. It only takes a second to cut and iron on my fabric!

Next I gathered my organza and sewed it on the long edge of my “glove”. I then added the hook and loop to fit! I can’t wait till I see her face on Christmas morning! Wait till you see the great sewing and quilting projects I have in store for you!
