Dyed Eggs Tutorial at Speckled Sydney Blog

"How did Easter go from crucifixion to chocolate eggs, resurrection to rabbits? hot cross buns and egg hunts?  Growing up I had mixed feelings about Easter. I had no gripe with hollow chocolate eggs of sub-standard quality. The teenage me had issues with going to Easter Sunday service, mostly because being the eldest child I had to hoard the basket for blessing. This big basket was laden with boiled and dyed eggs, hard and soft cheeses, breads, sausages, cured meats, salt and a candle. After a lengthy service (and no prior breakfast), we would fall upon the food like wilder beasts. Once full, the fun would really begin".... Read more

Tutorial - How to Refashion a Too Short Tee

Make an infinity scarf with the leftovers

Tee-Shirt Refashion Tutorial at Crafty Staci Blog

"I had two long-sleeved t-shirts in my closet that I hated because they were both too short.  I have a long torso, and like my shirts long besides, so it’s a constant problem for me.  The thing is, I kept forgetting that I hated these shirts so I’d pull one of them out, put it on, remember the problem, and decide to just wear it anyway.  I thought I’d grab them from the clean laundry and not stick them back in the closet.  As you can imagine, I’d forget (again!) and hang them right back up. I broke the cycle!  I have hooks on the back of my sewing room door where the future project clothes hang, and I finally managed to move them there.  Sometimes things live there for a long time, but I just kept looking at those two shirts thinking they might work if they were combined into one"....

Use bubble wrap as a painting tool

Garland Tutorial at Speckled Sydney Blog

"With any addiction, the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem.  I have a wee problem … I’m addicted to bubble wrap. Once I pop I can’t stop!  It all started in February when I used bubble wrap to make a Bee my Valentine wrapping paper. This was fun, so I went back for more when I painted a giant squid and we used bubble wrap to paint the squid tentacles.  As there was bubble wrap left on the roll, decided to use it for bubble wrap Easter egg bunting"....

Tutorial - How to Make a Room Divider Curtain

Embroider your curtain for one of a kind room divider

Room Divider Tutorial at Sew in Love Blog

"Noren is a Japanese curtain commonly used to divide areas, such as the kitchen from the living room. You will also see noren at the entrance of many Japanese restaurants.  We’ve just moved into a studio in San Francisco. It’s less than half the size of our 2-bedroom apartment back home in Australia, but we don’t miss all that extra room at all;—it’s amazing how little space you need to live truly happy lives.  Our studio apartment has an eat-in kitchen that leads to the living room. There is a doorway opening between these two areas, but no door. So I thought a noren would be just the thing to separate the two rooms as well as keep in some heat in the living room".... Read more

Eggs Tutorial at The Velvet Aubergine Blog

"I love Easter eggs. There’s something delightful about the elevation of such an ordinary, every day object into colour and pattern and life: it’s spring and rebirth and all the good things we’ve been longing for through the long, white winter.  This year, in addition to dying real eggs, I wanted to make something a little more permanent and a little more playful.  It was a perfect time to dig into my quilting scraps. I was surprised at how many tries it took me to get a shape and size that I liked and the enormous quantity of “fluff” that I was able to cram into each egg.  I’m very happy with the end result.  These play Easter eggs are the size of real eggs and so firmly stuffed that they’re hardly squishable at all.  They have a heft and solidity that begs to be picked up and handled"....
