Sewing Mania!

Ever since Sass and I learned to sew, we've been trying new things right and left! We're really excited to bring you a line of sewn items this Spring!! But that's for later...

So sewing...

You can check out some of our personal sewing projects if you want! Spunk's are here and Sass is on a roll with her Project a Day series here.

We're always trying out new tutorials to better our sewing skills. Recently some friends have asked what my "go-to" sites are, so I thought I'd share them with y'all! Just add them to your Google Reader and you can be  updated when there's new goodies to look at :)

{P.S. you might want to create a folder in your e-mail inbox for all the tutorials you'll be e-mailing yourself! I know ours is packed!}

OK and now to commence blog/tutorial dump! Enjoy, because these are our favorites :)

Fabric flowers

Well we promised to share with you fabulous things we find online, so here's our first "sharing" post!

We love flowers. What girl doesn't?

Well how about adding some fabulous Fall Flowers to your wardrobe? Yes? We thought so :)

While perusing the internet we found some really adorably spectacular flowers for you to try out. Let us know what you think!

{p.s. thanks to Tip Junkie, one of the best websites EVER, for linking to all these wonderful finds. If you're crafty or desire to be crafty add this to your Google Reader or RSS feed. It will certainly tickle that crafty bone!}

This Zipper Daisy Tutorial comes from Craftaholics Anonymous. Isn't it great? Spunk is dying to try out some zipper flowers :)

This sassy little belt makes me want to run to Michaels on my way home and get some supplies. On second thought, I'm definitely stopping at Michael's to try one of these babies out. Check out the Autumn Bloom Belt Tutorial by I Am Momma Hear Me Roar.

Maize Hutton gives a great tutorial on a beautiful little frayed fabric flower. It's so easy and cute, you could really use it on anything! The best part is that you could use up some of those scraps lying around. Don't have scraps? Check out the remnants sections at your local craft stores.

Liking what you see?? Tip Junkie lists MORE fabric tutorials here.

We love tutorials and finding inspiration online. We hope you like the post and fun links. Let us know if you try any of them. We can post pictures of everyone's creations. I think we'll probably try out a few ourselves. Stay tuned friends.
