I have been so busy sewing for other people lately that there's very little time left to sew for myself. So I've been keeping myself happy with small projects. Like this set of circular coasters.
At first I meant to do a tute for these but then there were bias binding and curved corner tutorials popping up left and right in blogtopia. So I thought if you wanted to make a set of these you would be able to gather up the information needed quite easily. If not let me know and I will do a tutorial anyway :-)
To challenge myself I made the bias binding out of Liberty fabric, I just love the soft silkiness against the coarser linens I used for the main fabric. And it honestly was not as difficult as I anticipated, in fact I found the curves much smoother with Liberty bias binding than with the regular cotton I used to bind this potholder.
I'm not really the potholder type of girl, wich probably explains why I did not have any. So now that I do, I very well may find I am in fact the potholder type of girl ;-)
Oh how I love these liberated log cabin blocks, they're so much fun to sew and so versatile. I've used them on pillows, mug rugs, a wallet {wich I haven't showed you because I insisted on using it before taking pictures and now it's all grotty and I need to make a new one just so I can use it for a pretty photo and there are just not enough hours in the day! lol}
Inspired by Kerry's stamps I got myself some Versacraft ink and started stamping away. I bought only a few stamps but I really need to get some more now. This is highly addictive don't say I did not warn you!
What I really should be doing is my getting my little garden spring ready, the sun's been shining this week yay! But I'd rather sew than pull out weeds, anyone fancy doing some gardening for me?
