Crafty Chicks!!!!

Errmm... hmmm...

You can always stitch the edges to prevent the fraying but that seems like ALOT of work!! Especially for someone who claims they can't sew.

What about finding some sort of backing -- like iron on tape binding/backing or something. Applying that to the ends as far as you intend to cut upward and then cut that. The backing may prevent the fraying. Not sure how easy it would be to string beads on that though....

Maybe someone else has a better idea!!!

I may just make a line of beads and attached somehow... or say forget it... Maybe Ill just make a belt and necklace out of the beads instead

 

[TigerLady]

That sounds much easier!!

Scrapbook Memories

I felt like such a dork for recording this show, but it was really good (the one episode I watched)

Their website has lots of photo projects on it. Haven't checked it out toooo much, but I am going to in a minute, seems cool what I have checked out so far.

OMG OMG OMG!!!

I am making a Scrapbook for OH's birthday, painting a little picture to go in a keyring for him... Making garters for wedding, jewellery for wedding... I have a massive cross stitch on the go! Um um um... I've been making some plastic bead bracelets for my brother, Alex and I.... Making clay houses (Really must get on with those) I bought a knitting machine and made a...well, it's a tube right now, meant to be a hat, LOL! I'm sure I'm doing more than that.....



I will have to post some pictures some time soon. I'm home all day while OH is working, so I've had to actually start some projects to keep me occupied! Helps that Alex is encouraging and enjoys crafty stuff too.

I LOVE ARTS AND CRAFTS! (Yes, I'm slightly too enthusiastic )

I'd love to get into dressmaking too! Anyone know where I can get a cheap but good sewing machine?

If anyone cares!

I posted some pics of blankets I made for my kiddo in my journal. A couple of ladies asked me to give instructions, as they are super easy to make. I finally got around to doing instructions for version one (satin binded). I'll do instructions for a hooded blanket in the next few days.

If you'd like to see the instructions:

But I was desperate to find you girls and find out which online fabric shops to check out?? I'm looking for fabric to go with This Range (best shown in the play gym and bouncing chair)

Heya hope you don't mind that I join you! I love to cross stitch and scrapbook as well.

Here are a few of the projects I'm working on right now and a few of my scrapbook pages.

 

[BlackBerry25]

That cross stitching is gorgeous!! I would love to do stuff like that.

 

[Char&Bump-x]

Thinking about starting to make these..

 

[stephwiggy]

Does anyone on here knit?? If so i am hoping to learn how and wondered if there was any advice ???

 

[buttonnose82]

can't believe I have never spotted this group before

Anyway I love to cross stitch (currently working on a large winnie the pooh throw for future baby) I would love to learn to scrapbook & I have done some card making in the past.

My biggest craft hobby is sewing though! I make childrens clothing and also am setting up my own business making & selling cloth nappies, wraps, changing mats, wipes etc.

I love sewing and considering I have taught myself everything I regards to sewing and up until april made NEVER sewn in my life before I think I am pretty good at it hehe. Well I am certainly confident enough at my ability that I am happy to do it as a business

Looking forward to seeing all your creations
