Reactive Potential of Bullseye Glass Posted: 12 Sep 2012 09:44 PM PDT There is so much information on the Bullseye Glass web site I could post something different everyday and not run out of things to talk about. I’ve mentioned reactive glass recently because Devon of Bullseye came to LA to conduct a lecture/slide show/good time about reactive glass. I love this stuff and think it adds so many options to your …

Tutorial: A bias tape maker makes bag handles, too Posted: 12 Sep 2012 04:44 PM PDT Just because they’re called “bias tape” makers doesn’t mean that they have to always make bias tape.  You can also use them to quickly fold and press under the edges of a narrow strip of fabric.  Heather from The Sewing Loft uses a wide bias tape maker to make quick and easy handles for a bag.  Go to her tutorial …

Free pattern: Knight helmet hoodie Posted: 12 Sep 2012 04:24 PM PDT Fawnda from Fireflies & Jellybeans shares a free pattern and tutorial for adding a knight helmet to a hoodie.  This is so cool!  The helmet mask and visor are sewn to the front of the hoodie so it partially covers the face.  (The eyes are left uncovered so it’s easy to see through.)   Use a heathered or steely gray hoodie and …

Tutorial: Photo Holder Posted: 12 Sep 2012 04:17 PM PDT The basic idea of this one is always useful – I used a similar trick for signs at my craft shows. For my own version I’d probably tangle the wire end, tuck it into the clay, add tls and then bake the whole deal but this works. I love her wire writing! It’s a great touch.

Free Pattern: Felted Yoda Hat Posted: 12 Sep 2012 12:37 PM PDT I told you the other day that I was going to start sharing Halloween patterns, and then I didn’t.

Geometric Bangle – Crafted Posted: 12 Sep 2012 11:59 AM PDT Often hand crafted pieces of wearable art seem to feel the need to declare their handcraftedness loudly, screaming their handmade heritage in bright colors, unusual designs, or primitive methods. And that’s cool. But it leaves me craving handcrafted subtlty, which is why I delight in things like Crafted‘s Painted Geometric Bangle. The neutral toned color palette and the …

Hindustanka refers …
