I love the idea of this sewing machine, no more needing to hunt for the right thread or changing your spool every time you're using another piece of fabric, specially when dealing with quilting or doll clothes I think this would be awesome for any crafter around! A sewing machine that reads your fabrics colour and ads ink to your thread acording to what you need!

I got these lovely real vintage/retro trimmings from my stepgrandmother, who usually dislikes me but when she wants to get rid of crap she suddenly remembers me! But I love love love these! I handwashed everything today and hung it all outside to get that old smell out of them and now I have a huge stash of real vintage trimming. I love the fact that a lot of people don't realise what they throw away.

Bowtie Bracelet #1 (half tutorial)

Let me introduce you to a new project that's been floating around in my head lately! The bowtie bracelet! Made out of fabric! I love making fabric bows! I put them on pins, brooches and now I thought why not make a bracelet out of them. Okay this is the first one though so it needs some tweaking. But I like seeing the start of projects!


It all started with an idea... and where do Ideas go? Right in a journal I love keeping random journals with everything and anything in them!

Here you find some pattern sketches of things I though I would need, turns out I was right!

• Two pieces of rounded fabric for the bow body
• One small piece for the bow devider
• Two broad pieces of fabric for the bracelet body
• One finer strip of fabric for the middle
• Two pieces of male and female velcro OR snap on button

• Sewing machine
  
• Needle
• Thread (white for this fabric)
• Iron
• Some loose feltwool or cottonballs ( to stuff the bow with)
  

And here is the end result, now I know this isn't a tutorial but I just wanted to see if anyone wanted a detailed tutorial before I type one out ^^ so let me know if there is any interest in this one.
