Fourth of July Appliqué Towel by Crazy Little Projects

Hello, WeAllSew friends! This is Amber from Crazy Little Projects. One of the things I love to do on my blog is make appliqued animal-hooded towels. Applique can seem a little intimidating but isn’t really all that hard when you start with a quick and easy project like this fun Fourth of July hand towel.

Coiled Rope Basket by Juliette Lanvers for WeAllSew

Beauty is really simple when you think about it. A humble spool of cotton clothesline turns into a beautiful basket with the simplest of sewing techniques. A zigzag stitch is all you need as you go round and round to produce the shape you desired. Then add some color to create the perfect home-dec accent.


Keep Your Serger Thread Cones In Line

I found this IKEA-style wooden plate rack at a thrift store and thought, “That looks like a giant thread spool organizer… And I have giant thread spools to organize!”

It gets awfully hot and humid in the South during the summer, especially in August. Lightweight cotton skirts help keep breezes flowing and body temperatures down. They’re simple to make; the hardest part is finding fine, lightweight cotton fabric!

The running stitch – three zigs to the left, three zags to the right, repeat – has been getting a lot of notice lately in Modern Quilting as an alternative to quilting with lines of plain straight stitch. But that’s not the only way to use the running stitch. It’s also excellent for piecing together remnants of batting.

It’s no secret that people are attached to their stuff, especially the stuff that we use every day. Let’s face it, the stuff is not just our “things,” the stuff becomes our companion.
