Take a break: Allow yourself a cup of coffee and a moment totally absorbed in a new craft magazine: The premier issue of SEW Somerset sees light October 1. SEW is a brand new biannual publication from Stampington & Co that´ll focus at projects combining sewing with mixed-media. Artists and crafters show that stitching is no longer limited to just fabrics. It can be added to almost anything including paper, transparencies, canvas, foil, etc.
Have a look and get yourself some new inspiration. The headlines in this issue are: 1: Wearables – 2: Books, boxes & Folders – 3: Décor – 4: Mixed Media & Collage – 5: Cards, ATCs & Scrapbook Pages – and 6: Art Quilts. Would you like to see your creations published – here’s an opportunity. Whether you sew by hand or machine you’re invited to submit your most innovative and imaginative art projects that incorporate sewing for the next volume.
Brenda is looking for advice and direction on how to patent or create a pattern and perhaps self publish her idea…
Hi my name is Brenda and I love your blog, I was asking a fellow blogger if she knew of anyone who may know how to make patterns and she said you may be able to guide me in the right direction. I created car window pillows for my children last year and everyone thinks they are a great idea. I have tried to see if I could patent the idea but there is so much involved and too much money to get it going. So I wanted to see if I could create a pattern and kind of save my idea this way. It is a very simple pattern. I hope you can help.
