My new online class It's Sew Easy starts next Monday!  I'm super excited and I've been making so many colorful and lovely projects that I just have to share!  One of the first projects we'll be making are these cool tags (layers of pretty paper and fabric):

Just practicing sewing forwards and backwards while also learning about hand dyeing lace, spattering paint, and having a really good time!

Remember that all the techniques from this class translate to lots of other different kinds of projects.  For instance, I used the technique from the white tag to create the background of this layout:

Me&RondaP-sm
Me&RondaPDetail1-sm
And this small quilt uses a variation of that same technique as well:

I can't wait to get started!

  • Oh wow… gorgeous tags!!! And I love paper weaving! You inspire me again – as always – Julie! I might bring my sewing machine downstairs today, it’s been ages! (but on the other hand – we finally have Spring weather overhere and I can do with some sunshiny-vitamins… go to the woods with my camera is another option to spend the day… we’ll see)
