Handcock Fabrics Fleece Pre-Thanksgiving Sale: 50% off!!!


250x250 Pre-Thanksgiving Sale - Ends November 23rd

I have never seen such a wide variety of fleece as I have at Hancock’s this year. I have purchased several pieces to use for blankets and wraps

Pre-Thanksgiving Sale – Up to 50% Off Fleece in Solids, Collegiate Celebrity, NFL & MLB & Much More at HancockFabrics.com.

Holiday Warm Up Sale at HancockFabrics.com! Saving up to 60% Off on Harvest Prints, 50% Off Christmas Fabric and much more.

Get Free Standard Shipping with $50 Purchase by using Coupon Code: 818SHIP at HancockFabrics.com!

No Sew Fleece Blanket – Tie Baby Blankets

Materials needed:

  • Fabric needs to be at least 40 inches or wider (most are 54 inches)
  • Baby/Toddler – 1 to 1 1/2 yards (in both fabrics)
  • Child – 1 3/4 yards (in both fabrics)
  • Teen/Adult – 2 yards (in both fabrics)
  • Feel free to make your blanket (s) bigger for taller or bigger people

Things you need:

  • Two pieces of fleece the same size.
  • Scissors (sharp ones)
  • Tape measure or ruler
  • One 4″ x 4″ piece of paper

No-Sew fleece blanket instructions:

  1. Unfold fleece. Stack them together with right sides out. The right side is the side where the selvage edge rolls up facing you.
  2. Trim off any selvage around the edges of your fleece. You can pin, baste or even use clothespins to keep the fabric in place.
  3. Use the 4″ x 4″ paper lay it on the corner of your blanket. Use it as a guide to cut out a 4″ x 4″ square from all 4 corners of your fabric.

Now you are ready to cut your fringe around all for sides of the fabric.  Cut 4 inches into both fleeces at 1″ intervals. You can lay a yardstick across from the corner to corner as a guide. The idea is to cut 4″ long x 1″ wide fringe along all 4 sides. Be sure to check to see if you will need to make the fringe a bit more wide or narrow to not end up with a giant or tiny fringe on each end.

Starting on one side tie over hand knots (using one fringe from each fleece.) Tie these knots on every other fringe around the entire blanket.

Then flip the whole blanket over and tie the remaining knots until your blanket is complete. (This helps your knotted ends look perfect.)

Single knots will work as well, but I like to double knot them. This helps them from coming untied when you wash the blanket.

Here are more fleece blanket ideas.

Next Project – Toy Story Themed

I received all of the supplies I ordered today for making a themed birthday tutu. The child is crazy about Toy Story and all of the characters. She has no problem in letting you know she wants to watch “TOY”.

I do my best not to let this child or her mom down. She is going to be draped in yards of tulle. I’ll be making her a “Jessie” Tutu. I received the hat, tulle and the applique for her shirt today. I plan on trying start it tomorrow. I’m letting the creative juices simmer on this project. I am especially glad I was able to get her the hat to go with it.

I’ll post a few pics as I work on it and hopefully that will be tomorrow.

This is the hat I ordered. It is really a great quality for the money – beautiful red velvet! :)

One-Yard Wonders: 101 Sewing Fabric Projects; Look How Much You Can Make with Just One Yard of Fabric!

Price currently $14.71.

I love books like this for getting the creative juices flowing. Sometimes you can dream up a new way to embellish or use an idea and come up with a whole new product. I think this would make a great book for a young crafter or someone like me that hasn’t crafted in about 3 decades. It is exciting to see all of the really interesting ideas and then make them with my own two hands.

For both novice and accomplished sewers, this spiral-bound guide offers directions that are precisely, clearly, and buoyantly written as the authors share 101 sewing projects requiring only a yard of fabric, including apparel, toys, accessories (human and pet), dresser organizers, and stuffed animals. For each “recipe,” the authors, in well-ordered fashion, list necessary materials and then take the reader-crafter through clearly numbered, carefully explained directions to create a successful final product. For each project, too, a pattern schematic is matched on the opposite page with a full-color photograph of the finished project. This is a fundamental crafts book appropriate for most crafts collections. –Brad Hooper

Use MOO MiniCards To Tag Merchandise

Branding, advertising, tagging, pricing are all areas of being in business that even crafters have to think about to be successful. If you own a business large or small you may like what I have found to help me!

I have been looking for a way to tag my merchandise so that it looks professional and is in keeping with my brand. I am excited to tell you that I have found something that will work beautifully. I am ordering a box of MOO MiniCards!

Use a different photo for every card

Ordering was a snap. I created an account using my Facebook login. Next I uploaded my graphics that I already had for my header and used that. YEAH! No additional expense. They have a fantastic program to set up the card. Al you do is point and click. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist or anything. It has you to next flip the card over and add your business info. I promise you 5 measly minutes is all it took. Finalize your order and you are done in about 10 minutes flat.

This won’t be the last thing I order. They have some stickers that look pretty enticing.

How To Tie A Gift Box Bow

I have tied a lot of bows in my day. They look good. That is where the beauty of it ends. I have been looking on YouTube.com for a nice tutorial to post that satisfies my gift bow tying needs and perhaps yours. I was wanting to learn how to tie a bow so that the ribbon would lie flat on the bottom and when you pulled on the end of the ribbon it would untie and be in one whole piece. I don’t want anyone to have to search for a pair of scissors to get into a pretty box, a beautiful bow and ruin the gift giving moment.

Here is the video that I found. It takes just a couple of corrections to what I was doing to achieve a great looking bow that unties with the tug of the ribbon. Here you go. I hope it is useful to you.
