IDEAS & EASY SUMMER PROJECTS
Something new! Combine knitting and sewing; applique hand knitted components
over fabric or use a
hand knitted piece in place of a fabric piece (such as a knitted yoke attached
to a knit fabric) by
attaching knitting to the finished edge of a fabric piece.
Purse making is still hot. We carry many Amy Butler and similar designer fabrics
that have been very
poplular for not only pursemaking, but also skirts and quilts. Almost any fabric
can be used to make a
bag including Waverly prints, tapestries and novelties. We have a great choice
of patterns and handles,
etc.
Also, don’t forget our many theme fabrics for making pillowcases for gifts. Kids
love them! We have
free handout patterns for these. Many ideas for easy summer projects.
Just in - Great new hot pepper cotton group for making barbeque aprons. Great
for your summer
outdoor barbeques. Apron making is easy and great for gifts. Look for many new
apron patterns,
including the Retro-look and “Church-Lady” styles.
Magazines are showing an easy way to look “green” — home decor idea—
Remove closet doors in halls, dens or craft rooms and display stacks of matching
fabrics,
threads, sewing baskets, etc. on your shelves. Piles of fabrics that match room
decor add a special
look. Or - instead of a closet door, make a matching curtain instead.
Check out our many new fleece prints. A beautiful
new kitten panel is in — very popular — also
matchmate all-overs in dogs & cats. Also new summer prints - great for making
blankets for gift giving
or for yourself. Great for lap blankets in air conditioned rooms or for parade
blankets, beach blankets,
camping, etc. Use our scallop ruler for a lovely no-sew scallop edge. Come see
our display models.
Don’t forget we have fun quilting and sewing classes! Some this summer, too!
Jenison, Holland and
Kentwood stores.
