Hi ladies! How's your September been?! Has yours been extremely busy like mine? I blame that for my absence here.
But in the meantime, head on over to my friend Steph's blog, The Silly Pearl. It's a fabulous blog and very fun to see the wonderful creations she's got over there.
I'm doing another intro over there today. Might look very similar to the one I did last week but it's okay :)
Hi everyone! Just a heads up...a late heads up but a heads up none the less.
I'm over at Christina Adventures today! You can find out a little bit more about me over there. While you are there, make sure you check out her site. It's such a great place for eye candy and inspiration! Thanks for having me over there Christina!
I am beyond excited to be part of my Ward's Super Saturday committee this year. We have so many cute crafts & ideas for the big night. It isn't until November but we are already getting them all made :)
I whipped up this poster to display and for handouts. I love pink, red & blue.
Ruthie from Erika Valdez's blog was chosen and has won the eCraft Personal Cutting machine!!
Congrats Ruthie and a big THANK YOU to Craftwell for playing with us and giving away this wonderful machine.
Also a big thank you to all of you who played along with both the Back to School & Sewing Blog Hops.
It's been so fun seeing all the great creations you can make with this wonderful machine. Don't let the inital reactions you read about it steer you away. There is a learning curve. But once you understand her as a machine, it will be worth it! It is SO NICE not to worry about a mat in order to cut! I love that it can be independant or plugged into the computer for endless creations! You will love the eCraft as much as I do!!
Alrighty ladies! Head on over to Raven's Blog for the Preliminary Winners! She also has posted the winners from the last blog hop we had in August. Those 20 names will be put into the drawing for the big big prize, an eCraft machine!
All of the fabulous designers on this hop are showing you a Sewing project in celebration to National Sewing Month using the Fabulous and versatile eCraft.
If you just arrived here from Erika's Blog then you are in the right place. If you just happened upon my blog please start at the beginning over at Raven’s Blog. That way you will be able to see all of the amazing projects and you will have more ways to win. After me, you will go to Faith's Blog :)
I'm "sew" excited to show you my sewing project! Ta Daaa!!!
Don't you love those colors?! And I want this shirt in my size stat! Alright, let's get down to it and show you how to make this bad boy ;)
Grab your supplies: shirt starch fabrics of choice heat n' bond eCraft :)
So I picked out my fabrics from this Charm Pack. What a lovely group of prints! It was so hard to decide what 4 to use but I finally narrowed it down.
Start with spraying your fabric with starch to stiffen it up.
Once it's been absorbed in the fabrics, iron them dry.
Next cut out heat n' bond to cover the wrong sides of the fabric. Make sure the bumpy glue side is touching the wrong side of the fabric.
Iron those on and let cool.
Once the fabric is ready to go, prepare the eCraft :) Load up the fabric, putting on 0 tab settings and choose your design. Here's a video to show you how it went :)
Once I cut out all my letters, I arranged them on my shirt. I took off the paper backing as well. Take your iron and iron those letters on! Press firmly and hold, covering the whole shape to make sure it bonds on!
Here are the "negatives" from cutting. Look how great the eCraft did!
Next I secured the letters by sewing them on the shirt.
All sewed up!
And here's the happy model, excited to wear this to school next week!!
Seriously can't wait to make more creations with this machine!!!
Ok so back to business...
