Short, but sweet this month.

Projects, Classes, Patterns & Tutorials<\/strong><\/p>\n

Want to know how to make a binding for a curved corner? Check out the Sewn Handmade tutorial<\/a>. Tutorial is a little bit of a stretch as it mostly just talks about cutting the corner. You will still need to make the binding and bias binding is best for curved corners.<\/p>\n

Craft Gossip has a post<\/a> on 8 easy (HA!) ways to cut your fabric straight.<\/p>\n

Tools, Books, Fabric, Notions & Supplies<\/strong><\/p>\n

My guild hosted Carolina Oneto Tapia to speak about colors. Amy included links to various value finding tools<\/a> on the web.<\/p>\n

Julie mentioned shopping at the French Seam<\/a>. Great name, don’t you think? I like the clean, fresh look of their website. I noticed they have the Painter’s Palette solids. That fact is worth keeping track of. In their notions section<\/a>, they have labels for bags and quilts not personalized, but similar to clothing labels except with funny sayings.<\/p>\n

In the past I have talked about using a towel holder to put zipper heads on zipper tape<\/a>. Zipper jigs are now very popular items for sale. Sara Lawson of Sew Sweetness<\/a> has one for two sizes<\/a> of zipper heads. SewHungry Hippie<\/a> stocks one<\/a> as well.<\/p>\n

Articles and Other Information<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mosaics! Fascinating article<\/a> from the New York Times about a town built on top of a Crusader era city and the mosaics people there are finding.<\/p>\n

Sara Lawson of Sew Sweetness<\/a> has posted a video<\/a> on printing PDF patterns. This is useful whether you make Sew Sweetness bags or not (though you should)<\/p>\n

Other Artists<\/strong><\/p>\n

Friend Julie put out her May Cornucopia<\/a> the other day. Go see the crazy clown\/merry-go-round photo, if nothing else. She has some great links and not all are sewing or quiltmaking<\/p>\n
