How to make a comfortable face mask – video tutorial

1 Comment

My previous face mask tutorial uses ear loops and I find them a bit comfortable after a while. So this time I’m using bias tape instead.

How to make a face mask with bias tape

You can use store bought bias tape or make your own. I made my own so I could choose my own print.

Fabric collections

The fabrics are 100% organic cotton which is great if you’re wearing them against your skin. I really love these collections.

My book Turnabout Patchwork

“Turnabout Patchwork. Simple quilts with a twist” is all about playing with blocks – making a block, slicing it up, and turning or repositioning the pieces to make a completely different block (sometimes two smaller blocks) to yield endless quilt tops.

Fabric collections

The fabrics I used are 100% organic cotton by Haerae Design Studio. The fabrics belong to 2 different collections. It was hard to pick just one of each collection. All the fabrics are beautifully designed. Check them out!

Striped triangles quilt video tutorial

1 Comment

Here you have another strip quilt. This time it’s made out of 60 degree triangles.

Here’s a quick video to make this quick quilt with your fabric scraps:

You will need a 60 degree ruler or a square ruler with 60 degree lines to cut the triangles.

The video shows 6″ triangles but you can make this quilt in any size.

These aren’t your typical pinwheel blocks. But they’re perfect for scrappy quilts. So get out those scraps and start sewing!

The foundation pieced pinwheel is part of my Mysteries Down Under quilt. I run the The Mysteries Down Under quilt as a QAL in 2018. The quilt is a skill builder. Block tutorials are video based.
