Bunny Love

Hi this is Jenifer here with you today to share my fun project with you.  A friend of my just had a beautiful baby girl and I will be making her some fun cuddly stuffed animals.  The first one to be completed is this bunny (Simplicity 1549) using the First Love pack.

This collection has soft blue polka dots, a beautiful solid blue and this gorgeous floral.  I did a bunch of hand stitching for the face and around the ears.

I just had to add a little bit of delicate trim around the neck and for the back I sewed on this fun piece of ribbon that says "handmade with love", to give it just the perfect touch.

Supplies:
First Love fabric
May Arts Ribbons and trims
embroidery floss

Freddie Hat from The Magic Pattern Book

Hi Jenifer here with you today to share my project from The Magic Pattern Book.  I printed out several of the patterns to make but ended up making the Freddie hat for now.  The book has pictures and easy to follow directions.

 I used a fine wale embroidered corduroy that I have had in my stash for years.  I used heatnbond medium-weight fusible for the body of the hat.  For the brim of the hat I added 2 layers of StitchnSew extra firm to make sure the shape of the hat stays intact.

I love the way this hat turned out and I can't wait to make more from this book.  I would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to make their own garments, with the pictures and easy to follow directions you can't go wrong.

Tips on Making your patterns last longer

Hi this is Jenifer here with you today to share my tip with you.  Did you know that you could use your scraps of  StitchNSew sew in interfacing to make sturdier back ups of your paper patterns?  We all have our favorite patterns or at least the ones that we know we are going to use over and over again.  Well now you can trace them on to your scraps so that they last longer.

 After all of my pieces have been traced and cut out I have them in little zip lock baggies for quick and easy storage.

I then place all of the baggies and the original pattern in a larger baggie to keep everything conveniently together.

I hope you have enjoyed my little tip today and have found a use for those scrap pieces of sew in interfacing.

Fun Notion Storage

Hi this is Jenifer here with you today with one of my first posts for Love My Fabrics.  I have so many projects ready to share with you and I can't wait to get started.  But as we patiently wait for fabric to arrive we have been asked to show how we store our Fabric and Notions.

Well I am pretty spoiled and I came across this beauty several years ago and with a little elbow grease and some sandpaper and finish I have it plum full of thread, needles, velcro, zippers and really anything you could think of.

On the top I have my embroidery threads and some large jars of buttons.  I highly recommend if you ever come across one of these at a reasonable price then snatch it up.  These 60 drawers hold endless treasures.
Thank you so much for stopping by today, leave me a link I would love to see how you store your notions.
