Do You Re-Purpose?

Re-purpose those plastic and wooden spools ~  Here's how Aurifil Designer and Award-Winning Textile Artist Sheena Norquay is doing just that....an Aurifil blog post with how and why Sheena does that found here.

How ingenious.....the base of a plastic spool used as a decorative pull tab on this wonderful little go-anywhere bag. 

Let's get busy making!  Empty those spools and re-purpose. 

Easy ~ Perfect! Binding Closure Tutorial

How did you do that?  How did you complete that perfect binding closure so easily?  And no puckers!!!   Thank you  The Next Stitch for your blog post -  great pictures and explanations.  I think I can. 

Sew ~ Measure ~ Cut ~ Sew.....that's how we do it. 

Do You Webinar?

Do you webinar?  If so, you are taking advantage of an invaluable resource and are learning from some fantastic pros!  Such as The Sulky Thread Company....who produces some fantastic webinars that can be signed into for free.  I'm excited about the one upcoming - Visible Mending (repair it and wear it) with Jenny Wilding Cardon.

Or the one just published,  Wild Motion Quilting with MJ Kinman.

Intrigued by Indigo ~

Fresh inspiration on how to use all that indigo on your shelf......whether purchased or dyed by your own hands in a fabulous indigo dyeing workshop.

This patchwork leaf  is very simply an all over same-size one-patch.  It appears the fabric is cut into same size squares, then randomly sewn together.   What a statement this quilt makes in its simplicity that showcases the beauty of the indigo fabric.

What a turned-edge patchwork delight by Sri Threads .....oh,my!

Need more inspiration ~  When in London,  go by Nudie Jeans in Soho (as found here at WeHeart)  and view these changing room drapes.  I can see a shower curtain in my own home!  There are also Nudie Jean repair shops in Sweden, Munich, Barcelona, Australia New York and more. 


























Oh, and my very own - blogged
about here at Marty's Fiber Musings. 

Let there be no excuse - view and enjoy indigo.
