Another freebie for you This Discworld chart can be loom-beaded as a bag panel or wallet, or knitted in intarsia. You could also work it in crochet, needlepoint or cross-stitch, though this will stretch the design out sideways. You’ll need: 3 shades of green (dark, medium, light) 3 shades of brown (dark, medium, [...]  A tesselation is a collection of tiled shapes which fill a space with no gaps and no overlaps. This concept translates beautifully to patchwork, where the fabric blocks which make up the pattern must fit together to allow the finished quilt to lie flat. Today we’ll look at how you can use paper, scissors, and [...] I’m now on my fourth or fifth marathon re-watch of the last season of Doctor Who, and today I decided I’d pay tribute to one of my favourite scenes with this little felt Ironside Dalek, politely offering you a cup of tea Daleks have been scaring us since 1963, and have had many design [...] The other day I came across a feature on a jewellery maker who makes miniature models of terrariums as jewellery, which got me thinking, wouldn’t it be cool to make some real terrarium jewellery?

So what else has been tickling my fancy this week? [...] It’s been a while since we looked at how to make cardboard furniture – today I’d like to revisit the topic and show you how to make this customisable Tetris-themed organiser.

Cardboard would have been better, but I didn’t have enough on hand to [...] You might have noticed that I have a little bit of a thing about robots – for example my robot book-bag or robot bead-loom pattern. I’ve come across some more really cute robots this week! I am Momma has a tutorial for this adorable robot t-shirt, made by stenciling and sewing. I want one! Robots, [...] A couple of weeks ago we learned how to sew felt flat and how to applique.
