Advance notice:  I will not be despatching any items 15 July - 5 August  2009 - after that time I do not expect to close again until Christmas. Sorry for this inconvenience

28 JUNE 2009 -     INTRODUCING TIP OF THE WEEK: 

When ironing your work a safe option is to always use a cloth over your fabric.  Over the years I have found the best cotton cloth to use is a medical sling - can be purchased cheaply from chemists or even from the pound shop.  The triangular shape of the cloth makes it easy to use on ironing board.  Do make sure that your cloth is 100% cotton - not the elasticated variety

Focus on "The Beautiful Design"

Some months ago S. purchased "The Beautiful Design" pack from this website (see buy/browse selection) - below is her interpretation - its stunning and beautifully crafted.   I just love the way she has used her fabrics to create this fabulous piece of work.  

 

 **************************************************************************************************************

 Fast Track Start - Thifty Method:

Create hexagons using 80 or 90gsm paper

important note:  technology does not guarantee the accuracy or size of hexagons after printing from this page, suggest use isometric paper or create hexagon using compass and protractor

or purchase hexagons from this website.

Reycling garment above.   Cut seams, remove selvedge edges, work to the grain of the fabric - tear into strips, using hexagon as a guide, cut rectangles - allow about 1cm seam allowance all around. 

 

 

Tack paper hexagon to paper as shown above then sew hexagons together.

 I would like to share hexagonal patchwork my Mother created out of recycled cotton/polyester fabrics.  Some date back 40 years - each rosette is unique - its been washed countless times. Its cherished and enjoyed.    

The hexagons are 1.25" (34mm)

Addicted to sewing hexagons since I was 12 years old.   Established   business in textiles in 1984 dealing in patchwork, textiles   and waistcoats.       38 years later the enthusiasm   is as curious and creative   as ever.    
 
Over the years I have heard the comment oh, I would love to do what you do but cannot be bothered to cut up all those fiddly papers……….
 
About 4 years ago I solved that problem………..look no further………..from this website you can purchase ready cut paper template packs.  This is a fast track start to your own heirloom quilt.  
 
Alternatively you can purchase from Ebay.co.uk, Tazbar.com or Specialist Auctions.com - sellers name in each instance - Thejaxcollection.  Prices/quantities may vary.
 
*******************************************************************
 
Below you will find some reasons why you should hand sew hexagon patchwork.
 
1.                                   To relax / stress bust / loose time
2.                                   For personal achievement
3.                                   To create precious family heirloom
4.                                   To recycle your fabrics and clothes
5.                                   To start a social activity
6.                                   To challenge your creativity
 
 
You can transport your tin of prepared fabric, templates, needles, tacking cotton, quality thread and snippers.    

Sew anywhere, travelling, commuting, on holiday, in front of the TV, whilst chatting to friends, whilst convalescing.
