Recycled Pillow Case into Hand Stamped Ribbon Tutorial By Thespoena McLaughlin of Vintiquities Workshop

Have you ever thought of taking old pillowcases and creating hand stamped ribbons? Well, Thespa McLaughlin has and she shows you how to do this on her of Vintiquities Workshop. What a great idea for recycling old pillowcases!

Recycled Pillow Case into Hand Stamped Ribbon Tutorial

Here's what Thespa had to say about her tutorial: This is a quick and easy tutorial that shows you how to make hand stamped ribbon out of an old pillowcase.

I buy old pillowcases for their decorative crochet trim and for their embroidered designs to use in my mixed media stitched projects. I'm left with the rest of the pillowcase that happens to be perfect for stamping on because of the tight weave of the fabric.

Thespa's Bio: I am a mixed media artist living with my family in the Ozarks. I love aged turquoise, faded cream, and lots of romantic layers. I dig rusty things and found objects and frequently use them in my art.

How To Make A Tie Tutorial By Alma Stoller

Do you love wearing ties? How you always wanted top make one of your own? Well, Alma Stoller has a wonderful tutorial on her Alma Stoller blog showing you how. Enjoy.

How To Make A Tie

Here's what Alma had to say about her tutorial: I heart ties, but I have yet to find a cool one that actually fits. Men's ties are either too wide, too long or too 'ugh'. Boy's ties are too short and the fabric is always too 'blah'. It is never small enough, long enough, pretty or flattering enough. Traditional tie making is a total drag. You have to cut one length on the bias and the other length on the grain of the fabric. Then you have to cut interfacing and the lining. By the time I was done cutting, I couldn't tell what was what. So, here is a colorful and easy alternative. I know I am not the only one out there dying to get her tie fix on. So for all you tie-loving gals out there. This one is for you. Make it and Rock it. Any color, any size, any design you want.

How To Paint Fabric Tutorial By Alma Stoller

Have you ever wanted to learn how to paint fabric? If you have then you'll be happy to know that Alma Stoller has a wonderful tutorial on her Alma Stoller blog showing you how to do this. Enjoy.

How To Paint Fabric

Here's what Alma had to say about her tutorial: Here is a quick and easy Fabric Painting tutorial.

There are many ways of painting your own fabric. After you paint your fabric, you can stamp on it, apply Elmer's Blue glue as a resist, or draw on it. If you don't like your final painted result...just paint odd shapes on it in a different color. That usually works. You can also alter it by over stitching a contrasting fabric on it. The idea here is to have fun and create a fabric of your own liking. Enjoy, Alma

Dyeing Workshop By Frieda Anderson of Walks In The Woods - Art Quilts

I just LOVE to look at beautiful art quilts and so admire the fiber and quilt artists that dye their own fabrics to achieve spectacular color variations in their art quilts. Sometimes the art quilts just take my breath away. Such is the case with all the beautiful art quilts made by Freida Anderson and we are all so lucky because Freida has graciously shared her dyeing experience with all of us on her Walks In The Woods blog. I hope you enjoy Freida's Dyeing Workshop as much as I do.

Here's what Freida had to say about her tutorial: I hope you have enjoyed this mini lesson in dyeing fabric and are enthused to try it your self. I think you will find it very addictive. If you don’t already own my book it is a great resource and you should add it to your library. :)

Freida's Bio: Frieda is a fiber artist whose original quilts are inspired by the colors from nature and the everyday scenery that surrounds her living in the mid-west. Working with her own hand dyed cotton and silk fabrics is fun and challenging, the dyeing process is always a surprise. Frieda has been making quilts for over 40 years. Freida is an award winning, widely published and recognized quilt artist and teacher whose work is exhibited throughout the world. For more information on Frieda and her biography please CLICK HERE.
