Tassel Necklace

Tassel Necklace

Creative Chainstitch or Rolled Hem

Since tassel necklaces are a hot fashion accessory right now, why not make one? I didn’t buy any of the components-just serged off some chainstitching (or rolled hem stitching) and went “foraging” in my bead collection. 

Table Runner

Thanksgiving Leftovers

Up-cycle Scrap Fabric and make a Table Runner

Don’t throw away or let those “leftover” seasonal fabric pieces sit idle in your stash. If you love to make holiday décor pieces as much as I do, here’s a great way to use those smaller pieces.

Holiday Ball Wall Quilt

Creative Coverstitching

The coverstitch and chainstitch are wonderful for hems but here’s a fun holiday project using these versatile stitches as decorative and construction elements to create a beautiful holiday ball wall quilt.

 

Flag Project

Red, White and Green

Fun upcycled Flag Project

Here’s a fun project to use up those fabric scraps from previous projects. Channel your inner Betsy Ross and make a flag on your serger for the 4th of July. Last year I challenged myself to just use fabric pieces in my stash and buttons from my button collection for my flag. To vary the shades of red, both the right and wrong sides of a variety of fabrics are featured. Read the instructions in my previous blog post and download the template below.
