Inspiration: Chip and quilt Posted: 20 Jul 2012 08:20 PM PDT Do you chip? I just did after entering a contest over at  The Graphics Fairy.

Tutorial: Folded ribbon pointed trim Posted: 20 Jul 2012 04:55 PM PDT Kim from String-Or-Nothing shows how you can fold ribbon to create a pointed trim.  It’s a continuous strip of points so it’s easier than trying to place individual prairie points.  It also works well around curves.  She points out that a two-toned ribbon (different colors on front and back) would create points in alternative colors.  Go to her tutorial. [photo …

Tutorial: Shorten jeans with a no-cut stitched in cuff Posted: 20 Jul 2012 04:06 PM PDT The easiest way to shorten a pair of jeans is to just roll up a little cuff, no cutting, no sewing.  It’s a quick fix and gives a laid-back, casual flavor.  But sometimes the amount you need to take off the length will create a deeper cuff than you want.  And sometimes the rolled up cuff tends to come unrolled.  …

Fringe-y Drink Umbrellas Posted: 20 Jul 2012 04:06 PM PDT Turn those dime-a-dozen cocktail umbrellas (they probably really are about a dime a dozen, but I mean in a standard, everyday, nothin’ special kind of way) into way more of a statement with homemade fringe.

Free Pattern: Double Knit Potholder Posted: 20 Jul 2012 08:19 AM PDT I recently got into double knitting, where you make two stockinette surfaces at once in two different colors, and while I’ve been meaning to make a double knit potholder for a while, I haven’t quite gotten to it yet (the “to knit” list is always longer than the time available for knitting!). But this double knit potholder from Laura’s Knits …
