Wallpaper - 4 Ways


Got some wallpaper scraps leftover? Thanks goes to New Zealand's H&G for this great tute on how to eat up those pesky odds & ends. Ideas include cards, a doorknob pocket storage thing-y, coasters & covered notebooks.

Trebuchet


Really, I just like saying the word. Trebuchet. Trebuchet. Trrrrrrebuchet. Here's a tute for a DIY desk version. Good for flinging things around your office. Snack foods could be fun!

Yahtzee!


Martha's prop room. Give me free reign & five minutes & I would be in an orgasmic, honey coated heaven.

Fuction Meets Frilly Fashion


Here is that "disgustingly cute & frilly apron" I've been working on for the past...forever! Very sweet if I do say so myself. I was inspired by lululollylegs's lined apron tute.

Stick It to the Man...Again


Some of you may remember the pincushion I made awhile back. Well, my two dogs got it. Snatched it right off my sewing table! Nothing happened scary danger wise in regards to the pins but the poor little pincushion was destroyed. This is my new one. You can see I even reused the same yellow embroidery thread & button. Waste not want not right?

Nuno Life is a neat blog (out of Japan - but in English) heavy with sewing tutes & printable patterns.

What To Do with Fluffy's Leftover Fluff

VIP Fibers out of Morgan Hill, CA will spin your pet's hair into yarn. You collect it from various brushings, pick it off your black pants or wherevs & mail it in. Once you receive your yarn I guess you knit away on some sweet little keepsake. Kooky but cute.
