Show and Tell #9

I've got some more of my customers' projects to share with you today. Hurrah!

Sonia of Dandelyne has been using my felt to decorate teeny embroidery hoop necklaces and to make colourful little pouches to protect the necklaces during shipping.

Sian of Polly Chrome Crafts used the felt to sew decorations for children's rooms:

 

Emma of All Needles Great and Small stitched a sweet heart cushion:

Caroline of Beautiful Thinking made some fun personalised felt bunting:

Sarah of Nordicbeads Supplies used a die cutter to create lovely felt bird, leaf and flower shapes for use in sewing projects.

Lisa of Martha Loves used my felt to sew a pansy brooch and a pear needlebook from the patterns in my book, Super-Cute Felt:

Claire of Eidelweiss used some of my mini embroidery hoops to make quirky crochet Christmas decorations:

And Jessi & Joni used my felt to make an awesome flower belt (check out the tutorial here if you want to make your own)

A New Felt Pack + A Bird Sighting

I had lots of fun yesterday selecting yummy felt colours for a new felt pack...

... a bundle of 20 felt squares in a palette inspired by colour trends for 2012.

They're now available from my Etsy and Folksy shops.


In other news...

I'm this week's "Crafty Superstar" over on Cut Out + Keep. I'll be sharing a few of my old tutorials on the site & there's a mini interview with me which you can read here (if you want to!)


Plus, three of my bird brooches are featured in the new issue of Mollie Makes which came out yesterday. I'm looking forward to buying my copy this afternoon and having a good nose at all the spring-themed loveliness contained within.

Apparently a special issue of Mollie Makes (compiled from 5 previous issues) is currently available in German. I hope it's popular, as it's always great to see UK craft publications doing well!

UPDATE: I'm gradually turning my bird designs into sewing patterns! Visit my shop to see all my printable PDF patterns:

Show and Tell #8

One of the best things about selling felt squares and other craft supplies, is that sometimes I get to see the lovely things my customers have been making with their purchases.

It's been a while since I last did a show and tell post with my customers' projects, so I've got lots of fun stuff to share with you :)

Jennie from Apple Bobbin made some cute felt creatures:

Jo of Harry and LeeLee used some of my mini embroidery hoops to make pincushions / wall art. You can find them in her Etsy shop.

Over at Made in Suisse my felt became a garland of adorable Russian dolls:

Melissa of Lola Jazz combined felt and a mini embroidery hoop to make this sweet pear decoration:

Kim from Hip Hop Side Project shared a tutorial for making an autumnal wreath decorated with felt leaves. Check out the tutorial here.

 

Manuela from i ManuFatti used her felt to sew ornaments for Christmas and Easter:

Ben from Ask Her Friends followed my Owl Valentine's Card tutorial to make a card for his girlfriend, and blogged about the process.

And Beatriz used my candy cane, heart and star and gingerbread house tutorials to sew lots of Christmas ornaments as gifts for her friends and family:

Spring Has Sprung

What a gorgeous spring weekend it's been! Still a bit chilly, but lovely blue skies and bright sunshine and colourful spring flowers popping up everywhere.

Rather appropriately, I've been sewing lots of spring flowers this week...
