Krystal Revisited (Friday Foto Fun #254)

Last weekend, I decided to make another Krystal Convertible bag by Linds Handmade!  I was in Orlando earlier this week for a work conference and had plans to head to Walt Disney World for half a day (Editor’s note: Because of the hurricane, Sherry is STILL in Florida!).  If we were going to WDW, I HAD to have a new bag to go with the...

Printing Templates (Friday Foto Fun #253)

I wanted to talk about printing templates today.   Any pattern that needs templates, typically a bag pattern or a foundation paper piecing pattern, relies on accurate printing.  Sounds easy, right? Wrong!  So many people have issues printing.  Patterns that need accurate printing usually have a “test block” to measure to ensure it’s the correct size when printed.

Central Perk Bag (Friday Foto Fun #248)

Happy Friday!  (It is Friday, right?)  It’s been a whirlwind the last two weeks going to India and then coming back and getting reacclimated to the timezone. I had great intentions of sharing all of the wonderful bags that I made during the Getaway but didn’t have the time to pre-schedule the blog posts and then reality happened and here we are. Today I’m sharing...
