http://twistedstitches512.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 29, 2012. Buy your tickets for the Austin Mini Maker Faire. If you haven't gotten your tickets yet for the Austin Mini Maker Faire, buy them here! Only 12 days left to get them - prices go up at the door. :). I finished a number of projects this week and have a total of 40 finished pieces! I realize I may be the only person excited about using the different colored yarns, but that's ok. I agonized for 10 minutes in Jo-ann's the other day about what embroidery floss to get for one of my ...

Twisted Stitches 512: Almost done!
http://twistedstitches512.blogspot.com/2012/06/almost-done.html
Thursday, June 21, 2012. I'm going out of town for the weekend for a wedding (my plane actually leaves in 8 hours) so I just have time for a quick post. I am almost done with the owl baby blanket. The owl has a body and face now and I'm working on the border. Say hello to Owly! I also finished the apron for a beginners class I intend on teaching in late August. I haven't gotten the class posted yet, but here is what the finished piece looks like. Hobby local class projects. View my complete profile.

Twisted Stitches 512: August 2013
http://twistedstitches512.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 7, 2013. I’ve been sewing pillows like crazy over here. After the amazing sale at Hancock fabrics, I bought tons of fabric and four pillow forms. Recovering a couple old pillows at home, plus some ingenious two fabric sided pillows using leftover fabric from earlier projects, I had enough materials for six new pillows! I still have one pillow to sew, but I was so excited about the ones I’ve made, I had to show you now. Taught me the basics, and this youtube video. Step three: Press your...

http://twistedstitches512.blogspot.com/2013/07/fabric-backed-display-cases.html
Friday, July 5, 2013. Fabric Backed Display Cases. Inspired by fabric backed bookcases and staircases on Pinterest, I decided to cover the backs of these display cases with fabric before hanging them. This easy project can be finished in a night, including shopping time for the materials. I bought my fabric from Joann’s (in the home decor section.) Always use a coupon or buy on sale! Here’s the steps to make your own fabric backed display cases:. 1 yard of fabric/combination of fabrics. Step three: Set y...

Twisted Stitches 512: New projects on the way!
http://twistedstitches512.blogspot.com/2013/07/new-projects-on-way.html
Saturday, July 27, 2013. New projects on the way! It’s been a busy week of thrifty shopping for me. After making that envelope pillow the other week, I was inspired to make a few more. I took a stroll around Hancock fabrics, just to look, and walked out with a bag full of fabric and pillow forms. Everything was on sale so I couldn’t resist. For $65, I bought all this great stuff. Here’s a sneak peek of my first two. I’m going to have to ponder for a while exactly what I’m going to do. I a...So who knows ...

Thursday, July 11, 2013. Envelope Backed Pillow Cover. Here’s a quick and easy way to spruce up your living room decor. Using leftover fabric from my fabric backed display cases. And my trusty Martha Stewart “Encyclopedia of Sewing and Fabric Crafts” book for directions, I had a new pillow on my couch in under an hour. Here’s how to make one:. Fabric - enough to cover your pillow form six inches. Basic sewing supplies (scissors, measuring tape, pins, etc). Measure your square to make sure it fits your pi...

Twisted Stitches 512: September 2012
http://twistedstitches512.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 27, 2012. Back from summer break! After a long hiatus involving lots of packing, moving, and unpacking, I am getting settled into my new apartment. I am really excited about my new place, in part because I get to decorate a new space, and in part because I finally have a craft room! Only $5 and I'm the proud owner of a mid-century lamp. Yay for thrifting! To finish the week off even better, Noah and I found a nice lamp and desk on the side of the road for free. (The vast majority ...
