Double Sided Cast On with Lorna Bateman

In this workshop Lorna shows us how to create and use this very useful embroidery stitch. The double sided cast on stitch is particularly useful for creating a 3D effect in your embroidery. In this instance Lorna has used it to create the bullrush flower in her garden; but it could also be used to create a 3D caterpillar and/or foliage.Lorna talks you through the threads you can use, which are cast-over a milliners needle.   Watch Now+ 

Iron Caddy Tote sewing project with Valerie Nesbitt

This Caddy tote for your iron is such a neat idea as it allows you to carry your iron safely – even when warm as it has a heat resistant lining, –  AND gives you a small surface on which to iron on. In this workshop Valerie also goes through some of the salient points to help with your work. The pattern suggests using two layers of wadding. You could also think about Insulbrite wadding, which has a more heat-resistant quality.  More Info+

PRODUCT OF THE MONTH: Caddy Pad by Sisters’ Common Thread

If you’d  like to make the really clever iron tote and ironing pad in this week’s workshop, then we have the pattern as our Product of the Month. It comes complete with the Heat Resistant fabric included. It’s just the right size to carry your regular iron (safe even when warm). It’s also great when you arrive as you have a ready-made ironing board. We have also made it our Product of the Month for February, so it comes with FREE P&P in the UK as well  Buy Now+

City Lights 3D English Paper Piecing patchwork with Nancy Adamek

The Inner City block is created by having light/medium and dark tonal values in your fabrics. And they don’t have to be plain to do this.  Nancy guides you through how to make this 3D block using half-hexagons and English Paper Piecing. She has some great tips on how to cut these shapes from strips of fabric; how to cover the paper pieces and reminds you that you need to have tails – do not cut them off! Once you have made enough units you need to simply applique them to a background, whether it’s a cushion or a quilt.  Again Nancy shows you how to do this. Watch Now+

Colouring with Markel Pens -Patchwork and quilting workshop with Lee Brown

Lee takes us through this interesting workshop on how to use Markel pens. These are oil based and create interesting pictures which can then be stitched into.  You’ll see that the pens can be used for painting onto fabric but with toothbrushes! Simple stencil shapes are made out of cartridge paper. Watch Now+
