When I teach sewing lessons it is the first project we make. They are quick and fun. Start with 4 patches either rectangles or squares. The bag holding the liquid soap and lotion bottles was made with rectangles. Pretty sure the others are squares. I use recycled denim jeans, heavy duty duck cloth or upholstery for one side. The other side is usually quilting cotton, polyester, linens, polycotton or whatever other scraps are available. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2iKgsLbQG44zvU3h29skprOqE26KBQ0LFVtqgWcxReBQOYw15RlYIf6d5gVw_0IPtXueBOHu0Log4L3n6FJPrI3JkkLL28CuwsdOpIqkRs_GIgGmbKTtnIh2LvWMePkcE_RPugu7rmJskhhb-7GBb9sAEXp5K-WVIDHImvkDu6NcccKemVfCsJQnpz8Lh/s864/DE6C95F4-C075-4133-8B0C-82701C5C15B2.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="648" data-original-width="864" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2iKgsLbQG44zvU3h29skprOqE26KBQ0LFVtqgWcxReBQOYw15RlYIf6d5gVw_0IPtXueBOHu0Log4L3n6FJPrI3JkkLL28CuwsdOpIqkRs_GIgGmbKTtnIh2LvWMePkcE_RPugu7rmJskhhb-7GBb9sAEXp5K-WVIDHImvkDu6NcccKemVfCsJQnpz8Lh/w400-h300/DE6C95F4-C075-4133-8B0C-82701C5C15B2.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div>These patches are 8.5" square, the seam allowance is 1/2" wide with 2" boxed corners.

When using orphan 9 patch or other quilting patches I use a 1/4" seam allowance so the quilt patches are the same size as in a quilt. It is easier to make these little bags with 1/2" seam allowance and the added bulk makes them more stable.

The table is sturdy, it does not wobble. Added benefit of raising the table height is storage space underneath. The PVC pipe is 1.5" wide. At 11" tall my first pipes were too short, the leg would hit the bottom and did not raise the table. I experimented by putting 6" lengths of broom handle inside the pipe which made the table very wobbly. So I bought another pipe and covers. 15" is the perfect height for me you can get 4 leg risers from a 6' pipe. I bought my pvc pipe and caps at Home Hardware they cut the pipe in the store for free. Hope this helps.</span></span></div><p></p>Tammyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18053469261622557578noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2034316472310869056.post-80548326629042363132021-12-26T07:18:00.002-06:002021-12-26T07:18:41.867-06:00Ongoing Covid Pandemic.

Today, December 26, 2021 I have sewn over 2,000 of them, most were donated, others sold to recoup supply costs and meet an ongoing demand for good fitting masks especially for children. The design favourite is 3D cotton face masks with silicone adjustment buckles and ponytail beads on elastic ear loops. There are tons of free you tube tutorials, this is <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AzeR7QCbQg">the one</a> I used. I modified the pattern to have side casings.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKmAaaQyAj83URCNttGALShqPoOnD8YAMb4ZiaUBLR8vE54-ozVjlxanqwmslQIU7p9nlhhyphenhyphenrzNaLFOrum1s_95Ow_wtZP1-O73GS-v8O_xSjaVgxpmYM5uTTzEhkhTf5ssexSi3tQvrYl/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="3088" data-original-width="2320" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKmAaaQyAj83URCNttGALShqPoOnD8YAMb4ZiaUBLR8vE54-ozVjlxanqwmslQIU7p9nlhhyphenhyphenrzNaLFOrum1s_95Ow_wtZP1-O73GS-v8O_xSjaVgxpmYM5uTTzEhkhTf5ssexSi3tQvrYl/" width="180" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoQj6K5HCd2v1PZ0a3XeDJWGRBIjfsf1VuYxaxbxzpaKDPbegvNdRwrSldlhZYR6BhzWroj4RaxfPBhyTFWKoDEWz0iSBJ9BxtsKfK2trQjOaKmm3JBTX1lkCJWKdUiwmt8DTLp3kQ1Fv3/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="768" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoQj6K5HCd2v1PZ0a3XeDJWGRBIjfsf1VuYxaxbxzpaKDPbegvNdRwrSldlhZYR6BhzWroj4RaxfPBhyTFWKoDEWz0iSBJ9BxtsKfK2trQjOaKmm3JBTX1lkCJWKdUiwmt8DTLp3kQ1Fv3/" width="180" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfQwKSiaxGSVDyPLHqMn_Nj5jc7Wgh8kVZEMktQaWy2ZhtsOaBwVbQWeKjL0EIT96iOexB3Ar2MrujsPLgsQoGeMEFvVdsNhSdRi0Nnbrmz-ZWeyWVr_ux799Gblh7vp6bk-9UHuaba3pS/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="768" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfQwKSiaxGSVDyPLHqMn_Nj5jc7Wgh8kVZEMktQaWy2ZhtsOaBwVbQWeKjL0EIT96iOexB3Ar2MrujsPLgsQoGeMEFvVdsNhSdRi0Nnbrmz-ZWeyWVr_ux799Gblh7vp6bk-9UHuaba3pS/" width="180" /></a></div>Wrapping the ponytail beads behind the head creates an ear saver mask, that stays in place.

In 2022, it is my intention to get back to sewing quilts, cell phone bags, hair towels, pj pants, bucket sun hats and anything else that tickles my fancy. Also in 2022, I'm going to try really hard not to buy anymore fabric or thread for the entire year. Another goal is to blog more often to catch up on events missed in 2021 and current activities. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

These were made while I was in Ontario visiting my daughter and family. The purple striped one is 100% polyester (upholstery fabric) outside and 100% cotton (old white sheet) inside. The blue one is recycled denim jeans with the same white cotton inside. These were the fabrics available at Shannon's home.<br />

Things I have learned:</div>
<ul>
<li> fit is important</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">comfort is important</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">elastic is in short supply</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">nose wires are easier to sew a casing around using a zipper foot</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">masks that are well fitted over the nose do not fog up glasses</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">filter pockets are desirable but not essential</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">masks should be stylish and fun as well as functional</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">for quilters mask making is an excellent scrap buster</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">using a serger 1.25" strips by width of fabric make the best cotton ties </li>
<li style="text-align: left;">my preference of mask has a long single cotton tie with casing on the sides</li>
</ul>

Pleated masks with elastic and cotton ties. The elastic on these 3 masks was 3/8" thick and they would not stay in place around the ears, ended up replacing with 1/4" flat braided elastic.</div>

The <a href="https://oliverands.com/free-patterns/reversible-bucket-hat/">free pattern</a> (update January 2021 pattern is no longer free) has templates from xsmall to large size. There is a step by step<a href="https://oliverands.com/community/blog/2016/08/reversible-bucket-hat-tutorial.html"> tutorial </a>as well. I followed the instructions in the pattern, made the hat then checked out the tutorial. The tutorial added a step of stay stitching the top edge of the hat sides before clipping the seam allowance to fit the top circle and stay stitching the top of the brim before clipping to fit bottom of the sides of hat. This was is a good added step. According to the instructions in the pattern and tutorial you make the brim then clip the seam allowance to fit the bottom sides of the hat. Next stitch sides A of hat to brim with right sides together. Then press 1/2" edge wrong sides together of side B pin side B to brim in place matching the side seams. Hand stitch hat B to brim then top stitch to secure it. I eliminated the hand stitching part, just topstitched hat top B to the brim. </div>

After turning the hat right sides out, the brim seam was finger pressed, then pinned in place before pressing with a steam iron. <span style="text-align: left;"> Next, I opened up the turning gap to clip the seam allowance of the turning gap before edge stitching all around the bottom of the brim, which closed the turning gap. Next top stitch rows 1/4" apart to finish brim. Then make buttonholes for the chin straps. Lastly, sew the velcro hook and loop tape to the chin strap ends.

After I finished this hat I realized I forgot to edge stitch lengths and ends of the chin straps like I did in Version 1.0. Ooops. The straps look more finished with the edge stitching. <span style="text-align: center;">Hat making is fun. For me it was much easier to sew hat A and hat B separately first as I did in Version 2.0 instead of following the instructions in the pattern and tutorial. </span></div>

She donated several blocks as well as other UFOs (unfinished objects) to Nifty Needlers and Project Linus. This Morning Glory was 16 blocks paper pieced, there was no outside border, batting or backing. First I removed the paper from the blocks and stitched them together. Then I went through my stash to find suitable border fabric.<br />

As the finished piece will be hanging in patient's room who is palliative care, I wanted it to be extra special. Opted to add high loft batting behind the blossoms for trapunto quilting which would give the flowers a 3D look. The high loft batting was stitched to the top with water soluble thread. Then the extra batting was cut away to the stitching. Next the top was sandwiched together with 100% cotton warm and natural batting and an ivory muslin back.</div>

The green leaf veins were quilted with 100% polyester machine embroidery thread. I like to use embroidery thread for free motion quilting because it is shiny.<br />

I have been making quilts for over 30 years, giving them away to relatives, friends and charities. In all this time, I never made one for Doug. Between the appliqué and free motion quilting it took about 70 hours to complete. Doug commented he was pleased that I put the ribbons on for him to play with when he is old. My initials and the year "ted 2018" are below the sleeping worm.<br />

I traced this motif out of a book on to a plastic template sheet. Traced on the quilt top with <a href="https://www.amazon.ca/Pilot-Retractable-Erasable-Assorted-31472/dp/B009QYH644/ref=sr_1_sc_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1534271231&sr=8-3-spell&keywords=pental+friction+pens">Pilot Frixion pens</a>, then free motion quilted with light blue thread. After quilting, the marks were removed with a hot iron. The pen marks will reappear if the quilt is tossed in the deep freeze or left outside when it is below freezing temperature. Put the quilt in a hot dryer the pen marks disappear like magic.<br />

In March 2018, I bought an <a href="https://www.accuquilt.com/ready-set-go-ultimate-fabric-cutting-system.html/">Accuquilt Go Cutter starter kit</a>. It makes cutting faster, more accurate and easier. Last week I purchased a few <a href="https://www.accuquilt.com/go-applique-dies/animals.html">appliqué cutting dies</a>, as well as the matching machine <a href="https://www.accuquilt.com/embroidery/animals.html/">embroidery software.</a><br />

The green dragon fly was was appliquéd directly on the quilt. Which was difficult to hoop because the quilt is so thick and it did not cover the entire frayed flannel. Under the right wing I did some free motion meandering to patch it. The bubble bee and butterfly both on yellow flannel were appliquéd in the hoop, then stitched to the quilt and clipped raggie style. This worked really well completely covering the frayed seams.<br />

Thank you so much to all the generous talented people. As part of the Project Linus committee, I hosted three cutting days in my craft emporium. <br />

In spring 2016, I joined Nifty Needlers, these awesome ladies meet every second Wednesday from the beginning of September to the end of April. They run quilting, sewing, crafting classes, raffle off a queen size quilt, have a quilt show, make and serve tea at the quilt show. There are several committees and about 80 members. They raise money for the hospital, make quilts for the homeless, Project Linus and the women's shelter. I'm on the Care Quilt and Project Linus committees. Project Linus is hosting its second make a blanket day (MABD) in Brandon on April 29th. We have been busy cutting up quilt kits to hand out to blanketeers. </div>

Dear readers/followers, I saved the biggest and best news for last! I have a new grand daughter Serena Rose born last week. Between playing with grandkids, sewing receiving blankets, flannel crib sheets, pj shirts for my daughter, cutting up quilt kits for Project Linus, adult colouring, photography, walking the dog and playing the piano, there is little time left for blogging. Would love read your comments if anyone is reading this. Happy stitching.</div>
