Photo 1 / Pic 1:
begin to cut the squares of 6 cm. each side of fabric or linen more or less in harmony with the colors (sorry, but this phase of the lesson I have not photographed ...) and add them to the first three of a strip form and then add the strips on each other. 0.5 cm seam allowance so there is a square of clean cloth to the side about 5cm. Be ', the end result is this (the top photo).
Iron.

Cut your fabric pieces into regular squares, 6 cm. for side, the seam allowance of 0.5 cm. is included. You'll need 27 squares.
Sew it into stripes of three and then sew the stripes one under the other. You'll Have an unique piece of 3x9 squares (upper piece in the photo) or, if you prefer, three blocks of nine patches. Iron
it.

Why nine patches? Why I sewed three blocks of nine squares of cloth (nine patches) ... now what? What do we do? Cut a piece of fabric the same size and apply on a nine patch pocket and two strips of linen (the central part of the picture) and then take the thermal adhesive pad (bottom photo) or if any padding is not too thick .

Cut an unique piece of fabric examination of the size of the piece just nine patches sewn (it will be about 15x45 cm.).
Sew a folder and two pieces of a different fabric (center part of the photo).
Now cut an unique piece of wadding plain, a little bigger of 15x45 cm.

right sides and under the padding, and
away at the sewing machine.


Place the two fabric pieces right to the right and wadding under Them.
Let's sew with the sewing machine, now!

Round one short side and sandwiched between the two straight two ribbons organza top of each other. The tapes will be long, each, slightly less than the total length of nine patches roll.

Place the two pieces of organza ribbon Between the fabrics right side of one smaller. Their length has to be a little less the whole length of the nine patches roll, I know about 40 cm.
Sew the side rounded. You can fix the pieces together with pins.

Now sew the perimeter, leaving an opening for turning the whole.
Close opening with small dots and irons.

Now sew the perimeter, leaving a small opening to turn it on out.
Then close the little invisible points with manually opening and iron it.

... and inside. Voila, you're done. Easy, right?

... and the inner side. Easy, do not you think?

Last slide / Last pic:
The nine patch roll can be used as a small handbag that rolled up bag occupies a small space, but I think something is missing and then yesterday I made it so by adding a piece of felt down in order to keep the needles (my husband if he finds himself on the couch and not quite happy ...) and a pad for scissors that also serves as a pincushion, although the rolling scissors is not easy. In the next episode
impararemo to do the bearing for the scissors.

You can use the nine patches as a roll up bag stitching, very useful and portable in a bag oz rolled up.
Also I've added a small piece of felt to hold the needles.
Next time we will learn how to make the little scissor fob you can see in the very first photo.

Transform Yourself Into A Wolf

Make your own labels / Making Dye

Step by step to the completion of Custom Labels

Making of A Personalized Labels


Many have asked me how I made the labels I applied to my creations of creative sewing. So here for you step by step. You can also access "to the negative," a paper for dark fabrics and a suitable tape.

Many of you asked me how I Realize my crafting labels, that's the tutorial. I can Assure you it's very simple, and you can Also choose a dark ribbon using the proper papers.


MATERIAL (Photo oo)
paper iron-on transfers for inkjet ink, bright fabric in cotton.
satin ribbon in a color selected.
Printer inkjet.
Iron board.
Pins.

MATERIALS (Pic 00)
Thermotransferable paper for ink-jet printers (no lasers!) Indicated for clear cotton Tissues. Satin ribbon
, in the preferred color.
Ink-jet printer .
Iron .
Pins.

The first thing to do is make sure the message to be printed. Choose font, size, color and any special characters, the font size also depends on the height of your belt: to be coincident when you are going to transfer. Consider that to monitor the writing is larger than when it is printed.
I used a 14pt size. for a tape of 10 mm in height. Fate also dotted borders: you will be in the seam and heat transfer.
You must then decide how much space to leave at the beginning and end of the inscription should be sufficient to stay within the seam without "eating" the sentence.
Finally, play your sentence to fill an A4 sheet (given 29.3 x20, 5 cm. About max) and follow the instructions specific to the card-on transfers, print a mirror with an ink-jet ink.
Let dry, then cut horizontally into strips. Please do not cut them individually, you complicate your life unnecessarily.
This first step is probably the most complex, you may have to experiment to the size of the writing that may be smaller than you expected. In this case, do not throw the job done, buy a belt closer or better, buy the tape after printing.

First of all, let's prepare the file of the label. Choose your font, size, color and any special letters. The dimension of the font depends of the height of the ribbon: It Has To Be The Same ounces transferred. Remember than the dimension viewed on the monitor is bigger than it is once stamped.
I've used a 14pt. dimension for a ribbon of 1 centimeter of height. Mark also dotted borders: they will help you during the cutting and transferring.
Then, decide how much space you have to leave before and after the phrase: it has to be enough to be sewed into the seam without cut the phrase. At last, copy the phrase to fill a page: the dimensions depend on your paper format, you have to stamp a whole page. Following the paper instructions, stamp it with an ink-jet printer using the mirror option. Let's dry then cut horizontal stripes. Dont' cut single labels.
This is probably the most difficult step of this tutorial: it's possible you have to make trials in order to Adjust the dimension of the phrase, Which can result littler then you expected it to be. In this case, do not throw your work: just choose a smaller ribbon or, better, buy the ribbon after you Have Done the stamps.

Now is the time to transfer the print to tape. Lay the tape on the board and place the cloth strip upside securing with pins. Caution: To avoid damaging tape and written, place the pins at the ends, the dotted outline will help you put the pins in the right place between a sign and another.
The pins must be fixed in modo fermo ed infilati nel panno il più possibile, in modo da non intralciare il passaggio con il ferro da stiro.

Now let's transfer the paper. Lay the ribbon on the ironing board and place a stripe up down above the ribbon, h
olding with pins. Attention! To avoid to ruin ribbon and stripe, you have to place pins at the edges; the dotted borders will help you to put the pins between the phrases.
Besides, you have to press the pins into the board until the head, in order to not hamper the pass of iron.

turning the strip you can see that I placed the pins along the dotted lines of the paper, then I'll go where to cut.

If you turn over the stripe, you can see the signs of the pins. Exactly I've Placed it along the dotted borders, where, I'll cut the labels.

Once completely cold, you can gently remove the protective paper.

Once the stripe is cold, gently remove the protective paper.
