Baby Minky TIme
Right now, I have a new Grandson, sew I am commuting on my days off to help get mom and dad some nap time. In between, I use the sewing machine I gave my daughter to whip up some nap time sewing fun to use with the baby. When I come home, I am back to sewing clothes and other items as requested to me.
www.Gstreetfabrics.com click on link to shop online for fabrics in blog. I work and buy my fabrics from G Street Fabrics in Rockville, Maryland "SEW FUN!" Come Buy and See me. I am usually there Sun Mon Tues
looking for clothes and tips on how to do them scroll down to bottom of posts and there will be a link to older posts. I make all kinds of clothes, many simple some complicated. You will find Patterns that may be vintage, but you can still buy them by googling the pattern vender and number, and then tips on how and why I sew them. Simple and fast, comfortable and all about the fabric you are using to make them beautiful. Just buy your fabrics at GStreetFabrics and you can order on line... then have your own Free Flowing Fashion when you glide into the room. No matter what age you are-your first impression is when you enter a room. Fabrics can be the total impression. Just throw them over your shoulders and tack some corners and you will be beautiful. We also sell McCalls and Vogue Patterns in our store, the current Pattern books to look through when coming into the store.... But you can shop online from anywhere!-We ship!!

Scrapquilting
Straight from www.Gstreetfabrics.com
with Kitty
Block quick piecing scraps around a square.
Sew.... I am, of course, still sewing baby related things..... but inbetween -inspired by the store customer quilters, I am doing block based scrap quilting..... Quick easy and basically unplanned or any particular size pieced together...
So, this can be done with an 8 x 8 - 10 x 10 or a
12 x 12 block base... and you can piece it with the block squared straight or on the diagonal...
Your center piece of the block can be whatever size you want and build from there... so here are the first two blocks with the idea that they are the beginning of two different scrap quilts based on the same idea.
I used 10 x 10 base blocks. The fabrics are from the boxes of scraps from face masks.
I decided the center blocks should be a person place or thing centered and then the other pieces are just random strips.
4. Lay your strips on the square and use quarter inch seams... have your iron handy.. and press as you go... You can see here I have them on a wool pressing pad... and the iron next to it so I can just sew on, press and go to the next pieces..
When the pieces you iron flat start hanging over your base block-trim and you will end up with a finished block the size of your base block-whatever size you chose.
Sew.... Those are my mask scraps.... how about you?.... but they don't have to be scraps... you can make yours what ever you like... come to
