Well, with the new colors I've gotten I just couldn't wait to make some changing pads. Below is a sample of a few of them for you to see.I love Art Gallery fabric. I don't care what anyone says, I think it has the most Lush beautiful feel of fabric that I have ever felt! The one in that blue gray color with the branches of birch trees in it it is the most beautiful fabric. It Is by Caratini Ratchet Le. She is a designer at Art Gallery and her stuff is simply different and gorgeous. I make these changing pads with a wet dry liner so that when you turn them over it is softer for the baby's head, but then if there is a little accident it will hold them because there is a plastic background. I should not say plastic; it is some kind of polyurethane that keeps it from leaking through, which is what you want. Then you can simply roll it up, take it home and throw it in the wash for a little while It is just what everybody wants: easy wash and dry. I think that it is better to hang iit dry if possible because of the plastic. Too much heat might make it shrink. I also got some beautiful elastics from a real good friend of mine. She sells elastic and the colors that came with these are just perfect for all the stuff I was making. Well, I hope you enjoy them. Hope to see you all soon, Susan
I want to talk about fabric today, specifically cotton and yes I know there are many cotton fabrics, but the one I want to talk about today is woven cotton. It has been around forever or at least for as long as I can remember and I know from generation to generation it has maintained its place as a common household fabric that is used for everything from from making curtains, to table runners, to tablecloths, and cotton rugs, and yes clothing. And as we all know cotton is one of the nicest fabrics to use. It holds up well, and works well for almost anything. I've been sewing for over 45 years and the other day as I was working with a certain brand of cotton I realized that fabric has changed so much. Cotton used to be thicker when I was growing up. It was more dense then it is today, and as you make clothing with it, it was not as soft and did not flow as well. But I notice this year's cotton have changed. Different companies coming in making new lines of cotton have changed things up. Different kind of woven fabrics and I will say I have some favorites. Two of my most favorite fabric companies right now are: Art Gallery fabric, and Michael Miller fabric. The textures have changed Art Gallery their fabric is a thin silk-like fabric and Michael Miller in the last year has changed thier's to be a beautiful silk-like fabric as well. Yes I know there is no actual silk in the fabric, but the feel of it is so soft that silk is the only way that I can describe it. And I noticed after you wash it, it becomes softer and softer and softer almost feeling like butter when you wear it. When it comes down to it who wouldn't want to wear a cotton that just turned to your most favorite shirt after a few washings. When it comes to children's clothing they want to be comfortable and just put on that favorite shirt that has that favorite feel. I know when I was younger cotton just did not feel the way it does today, and for that I am glad. I am not saying that it was bad. It was just different, and I absolutely love the feel of todays cotton. They work well for clothing and there are other companies (many companies) that make cotton that is perfect for everything else like making quilts.
For quilts I love to see the thicker fabric. The thicker cotton, like the old cotton, because quilts are made to hold up through the times. Well I was just thinking about all that as I was making some dresses the other day, and I thought I would share. Times change, and even the fabric changes with it. It is an amazing thing. I hope to see you soon, Susan
Hi Everyone,
I know that it has been a while since I have posted anything; I have been very busy. I was so excited last week, when I got home, there were two huge boxes of Michael Miller fabrics. Here is some of it:
I get so excited when all the fabric comes in radiating of beautiful new colors and pattterns.
The sage green fabric with the birds is so unbelievable soft, and I love the fabric with the roses.
I absolutely love the new line of Michael Miller fabrics.
I could not wait to break them in, so I immediately started sewing. I decided to try something new and make makeup bags or rather bags that you use for your makeup and then roll up so they conveniently fit in your purse or car without all the makeup falling out.
They are large enough to fit makeup brushes and whatever else you need. I started with the green bird fabric and then tried one with the rose color and did the purple inside.
I started off making them and just putting a tie strap and then I realied that that is just ridiculous. Who wants to be bothered with that. Yes, it might look a little prettier, but it is not convenient and easy like I wanted it to be.
So I was not too happy with my first sample. The second time I did an elastic which I liked a lot better, and the third time I increased the size to make it taller so everything fit better and would not stick out.
So it took me three tries, but I finally got it.
Here is it:
Well, I hope to see you all soon. I will try to keep posting more regularly.
Susan
