I just fit the Grinch quilted coat and it wraps around me twice! I cut it so ridiculously big because I was afraid it would end up too small and I just screwed myself the opposite way I guess I’m going to recut it, but that also means I have to recut the lining and this whole project is 😭 #Quilting

Bought the pattern on the left because I've really been wanting to do a corvid quilt. But somehow it morphed into the quilt design on the right. I don't know when or if I'll make either now, but it felt good to design something in the middle of #AllSummerLongArm Funny Crows is available here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1727887093 The other crows are based on Sew Fresh Quilts' Black Birds, (though I graphed the skulls myself): https://sewfreshquilts.com/product/black-birds-pdf-quilt-pattern-instant-download/ #Quilting

Ogden, #Kansas is so small that even though I grew up in the state, I'd never heard of it. But they have a sustainable, secondhand and deadstock fabric store that I feel Fedi sewists might be interested in supporting https://athriftynotion.com (FYI - signing up for their newsletter might be difficult if you have a pop up blocker) #Quilting #Sewing #Fabric

In addition to the National Museum of the American Indian quilt along that I posted about earlier, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is having a quilt along this year, too, called Fabric of Appalachia - https://www.nps.gov/grsm/learn/historyculture/fabric-of-appalachia.htm #Quilting #QuiltingNews

This is a must see #QuiltingNews post - you know how graphic novels exist? This is a graphic news article about a community #LGBTQ quilt project in Vermont! Not even kidding, the news article itself is written and illustrated in #ComicBook style. I couldn't be more delighted about the whole thing, the article, the project, it's all incredible https://www.sevendaysvt.com/arts-culture/comics-arts-culture/a-statewide-quilting-project-celebrates-queer-joy-in-vermont/ #Quilting

Once everything is quilted, it’s time to cut things out! I traced the pattern pieces onto the quilts and then stitched just inside the marked lines. This has the dual effect of 1) making sure I’m cutting the right lines and 2) helping prevent fraying and making things easier to handle when cut. It also compresses the quilt sandwich at the edge for greater precision. Then cut things out and start assembling! I batched up all the independent pieces (eg, sew the hood together, sew the long sleeve seams, sew the shoulder seams) and then had to take a break to hand-finish the seam bindings on all of them. The pattern called for a single fold bound seam which I cleverly (lol no) cut out of the same flannel I used for the lining. This made the seams extra bulky. I stitched the two seam allowances together by machine and trimmed the far one down to about 1/8”, then stitched another line along the near one (again squishing down the quilt sandwich) and trimmed it to 1/4”, then folded the binding edge over the flannel at 1/2” and sewed it down by hand. So the seams wound up being not too bulky but a bit stiff. In hindsight I probably should have sewn the 1/4” allowance and the 1/8” allowance separately, which would have made it more flexible. #handmade #quilting #stargazerChoreCoat #sewing #hiviz

Does anyone have a favored method for making buttonholes on quilted fabric? I thought “oh that’s a problem for future Sarah to figure out” when I started sewing this but somehow future-Sarah’s problem has turned into present-Sarah’s problem and it’s deeply annoying when the timeline catches up to me like this. @inarticulatequilter@mastodon.art @Apiary@mastodon.social #quilting #adviceWanted #sewing

Eleven. Eleven ways not to make buttonholes and (finally) one way TO make buttonholes. The trick is sheerweight fusible interfacing and not the heavier woven I usually use (which is what I grabbed first because I had so many scraps lying around.) I’m not sure if I ended up at the Chanel method that several folks mentioned but I wound up digging up the Butterick “The Art of Dressmaking” book my mother in law gave me and the directions for dual-sided bound buttonholes do in fact work great even if it took me a few tries to figure out what they wanted me to do. #sewing #quilting #stargazerChoreCoat #handmade #buttonholes

Here's a photo of the relevant page, in case you want to follow along. TLDR: Cut a piece slightly larger than the buttonhole, mark the box on the wrong side, sew the box in the correct location along all four sides, fold in the short edges towards the center and cut straight across the sewn box, being careful not to cut into the stitching and cutting THROUGH the folded edges right up to the line. Then cut through the center of the box and shove your fabric through to the back. You should be able to finesse the fabric to lie fairly straight and flat (this is where the sheerweight interfacing made a huge difference), and then double-fold in the horizontal edges towards the center. Press the absolute shit out of it and either stitch in the ditch by machine (if you like living dangerously) or whipstitch the edges down on the back. For quilted fabric, I found it was also helpful to run a line of stitching just to either side of the cut / center line of the buttonhole, to squish the quilt down flat and add some rigidity. #handmade #sewing #quilting #stargazerChoreCoat #buttonholes #vintage

RE: https://glammr.us/@jessamyn/116840496001165566 Y'all, you have to look at this. Granted, I know very little about #quilts or #quilting, but this is the most amazing thing. I just want to stare at it and marvel that it was made by human hands. Humans can be pretty cool sometimes. Maybe we don't need the giant meteor yet.

Dear quilting/library community, please enjoy this bookshelf quilt made as a fundraiser for the new library (in Belleville ONT). The books are all named after local people and organizations. https://www.flickr.com/photos/cabhc/55366630415/

Who knew that post op recovery time would lead to working on more projects than I can possibly complete in the time I have! LOL Have just added repairing/modifying the sashiko cushion from a kit I bought at a craft fair at Alexandra Palace sometime early 2000's for my Mum, which I promptly received back once it was complete. I currently know nothing about quilting, patchwork or sashiko, and will be doing this without a sewing machine, but I don't want to lose the cushion cover, so this will be interesting. Add this on top of sketches I already have in progress, writing, a planned distro change on the laptop, crochet, and some polymer clay ideas floating around, I think I need at least 6 months. And that's ignoring how many other WIP's I have in progress. #Sashiko #Quilting #TeaRamblings
