Tips and Tricks for Sewing With Knit

Today as part of our By Popular Demand fabric tour we wanted to share some quick tips and tricks for working with knit fabric...since By Popular Demand was designed for knits!!! Knit fabrics are made very differently than woven fabrics (like quilting cottons)...they are made to move and stretch while wovens are (for the most part) meant to stay stationary...so they do need to be handled differently...which has a tendency to make some people nervous. But knits are not scary to work with and ... View the Post

By Popular Demand Fabric Tour

Poinsettia Pillow Tutorial (and Pattern)

A few weeks back I got to create (and share how to make) fun Poinsettia Pillows with my church group and today I'm going to share those same Poinsettia Pillows here on the blog. These pillows are super easy to make and were inspired by a photo that a friend showed me of a poinsettia pillow from Pottery Barn...and while mine may not be from Pottery Barn I still think they turned out pretty cute!  (And they only cost a fraction of the price to make!) Here is what you will need to make them: ... View the Post

The Art of Homemaking: Homemade Cream Puff Recipe

"They grow so fast."   My 11 year old is into baking lately. It started when she wanted to make her own "rosette" birthday cake herself and every weekend she's been asking for some baking lessons. She picks the recipe, I make sure we have the ingredients, and then we bake. It's turned into a fun mommy and me time...and those moments with 11 year olds are fewer and farther between, so I will take all that I can get! Today for the Art of Homemaking Hannie and I are sharing one of our ... View the Post
