SUNDAY SEWING---SOMETHING NEW TO LEARN

 
When Tom unearthed the extra
charms, I thought I would try out
"strip inserting" after seeing
Beth Shibley's 
Youtube video
detailing her method. 
[find her at
"My Sewing Room" ]


So, I pulled out the few
leftover browns and yellows,
for an Autumnal look,
and cut a leftover multi-
colored fabric into 
one inch strips...

This is my "practice piece".
I will be adding borders to make
it into a table topper --
hoping to find leftover jelly
roll strips for that.

[Continuing in my 
"Use it up or
donate it" mode]
✌👌👍
Meanwhile, I found quite a
few unearthed blue 
toned charms that
I really liked.
So.... I cut a 
very old batik fabric into
one inchers and I will
make a larger piece 
using those throughout...
↴↴↴↴
Here they are all pre-cut &stacked up--
ready to be sewn at my leisure
this coming week.
[You can just see the insert strips 
behind them.]

I am looking
forward to putting this one
together as there are at least
four of each pattern--
which is perfect if I want to 
put the same fabric 
into focus in the strip-outlined
square as above.
**********************
Sunday supper will be:
Tom's family favorite homemade
spaghetti sauce...yummy--
along with crusty garlic bread...

Enjoy your Sunday
Hugs, Julierose
