blogland – some fave posts of late
I want a way to mention all the wonderful things happening in craft blogland. Some fabulous information and tutorials and links which make is so much easier for others. I love going to new and old favourite blogs and reading about online resources, reviews and ideas for projects and finished projects and patterns and tutorials that people have worked out. I love seeing what inspires others and following links to new places.
To kick off this regular round up of cool craft blog posts I will start with clementines shoes wonderful post on making felted children’s blocks. She has a mini tutorial and information on the process from felting the machine knitted pieces to cutting and sewing them together.
juju loves polka dots did a neat tutorial on a really gorgeous pocket bag – part 1 and part 2. (I also love the skirt she is wearing) and what a gorgeous combination of fabrics she has used.
makewrite has been inspired by our wonderful crafty palooza to make her very own pincushion (there might be a tutorial in whip up’s future on this so watch out)
kim’s (from dioramarama) fabulous post on solid fabrics – lots of great resources there – and I love where she said “If you are bored by solids, your inner child is dead.”
I love the elephant and monkey purse that my little mochi whipped up. That polka dot fabric on the inside is the best – but the ears just kill me.
The teacup sweater by twelve22 is cute and practical. Her own pattern – with freestyle directions.
Turkey feathers post on making yoyo’s. I am intrigued by these – using up colourful scraps in interesting ways is always good, I have never made the next step into doing it – maybe now I will. She links to a good tutorial as well.
