Block Printing Easter cards with Tess Grace from The Arty Crafty Place

Personalised Easter cards – what a lovely idea. Tess shows you how you can print onto both card and fabric to create some delightful Easter cards (and later in the year for other occasions). She reminds us that you should always practise first on a small piece of fabric (or waste paper) and also shows how easy it is to change colour, or have a two-colour block print.  Watch Now+ 

New in the Shop this week we also have Block Printing Tea Towel kits from The Arty Crafty Place available. These contain the cute chicken blocks that Tess demonstrates with in the workshop. You can use the blocks for the towels and then for lots of other projects, like the cards, matching napkins, table runners – the possibilities are endless.  We also have a lovely Leafy Lemon Tote Bag Printing kit. We think this would be perfect for going back out again, or sitting in the park with a friend having a picnic.  More Info+

How to Marble with Craig Joubert

Alternatively, if you are still feeling crafty, watch this very comprehensive workshop  from Craig as he shows you how easy it is to marble. Like the block printing, marbling can be be applied to most surfaces – from fabric, to tiles, leather, wood, cork, paper and cotton canvas. He talks you through the equipment  and demonstrates how to create the Spanish Moiree design on paper. Watch Now+

BOOK OF THE MONTH: Cottage Gardens by Gail Lawther

Create a series of gorgeous cottage gardens in fabric and thread.

Use Gail’s quick and easy methods and you can easily create your own glorious gardens.

Created in fused applique Gail takes you through all the steps with clear diagrams and full size templates

 As our Book of the Month for March 2021, it comes with free p&p within the UK Buy Now+ 

Folded Japanese Patchwork with Lesley Brankin

Lesley shares with us her secret passion for Folded Japanese Patchwork and makes good use of the double sided patchwork to create two patterns simultaneously.  She also shows you how to stitch the double sided pieces together with the really useful ladder stitch. This can also be used to close up any project that has been fast turned.   Watch Now+

If you enjoy the video, you might be interested in trying these instant download patterns from Lesley: Butterfly & Kimono; Bluebirds; Sunset bag.

Knitted Amigurumi pets with Fiona Goble

Fiona shares with us her trio of delightful little pets that can be knitted (they are more usually found crocheted).   She assures us that they are easy for beginners, as just simple knitting stitches are involved, together with standard yarn – preferably with some wool content – and small needles. In addition – just in time for Easter – she has shared with us a little chicken and his (or her) egg – again simple to knit, with patterns available to download. Watch Now+

Fly Stitch Embroidery Workshop with Niamh Wimperis

Niamh believes the fly stitch is a close cousin to the lazy daisy embroidery stitch. This is because it is created with a V stitch rather than a loop. She has used it here in the centre of leaves, to create pine branches and flowers. In this workshop you also get to see how to sort out a really knotty problem without having to cut your thread.  Watch Now+ 

PRODUCT OF THE MONTH: A Taste of Silk Ribbon Embroidery Taster packs from Lorna Bateman

Our Product of the Month for March are a series of Silk ribbon embroidery taster packs in different colours from Lorna Bateman. These simple starter packs are great for trying out silk ribbon embroidery.

Each little starter kit contains a choice of these 4 simple designs, together with patterns. You will need to trace these onto a 7 inch or 17cm square of cream cotton fabric supplied with muslin for backing. Also included are chenille needles;
ribbon for roses and leaves; a crewel or embroidery needle; a length of green stranded cotton and matching thread for the roses; a full set of instructions including a full set of colour photographs of step by step stages. A stitch glossary is also supplied. Lorna presents the pack with a colour photo of roses on the cover in a clear cellophane bag. This makes it a perfect small gift to add to someone’s birthday present or for a special occasion. You can choose from 4 colours – just click on the colour you want: yellow, pink, purple and peach.

As our Product of the Month it also comes with free shipping in the UK for the month of March 2021. Buy Now+ 

JUST ADDED – More weekend sewing fun with Valerie Nesbitt
