This has been a real adventure here at Fabric Follies. Never in my 50+ years did I ever dream that a little fun on a daily basis would bring over 1000 hits a day and some lovely email friends! This year began early on with surgery and later on with placement of a heart […]
What a wonderful idea! I was surfing through my early morning blogs and found a post re: Vox on Sharon B’s blog… had to go look… began to surf to see if there were many fabric sites… found this! It seems the Japanese government is encouraging it’s population to use fabric as gift wrap […]
I always thought I knew how to fold and store my quilts… until today. Whip Up has a tutorial up showing how to fold quilts on the bias to protect them from the heavy wear of constantly being folded in half…then quartered… who knew? Have a look…
I do love houseshoes. Several years ago (as in many!) a young lady of about 82 years was kind enough to draw off a pattern that she had used for most of her life to make shoes for her family. I loved it. Simple, easy to make, quick… I used it many times. When it disappeared I […]
Angry Chicken.com has been one of my favorite sites for a long time. Amy Karol is one of the most talented ladies online. She hosts the tie one on challenge for making one apron a month using the theme for that month. Now here’s the story: I have two wonderful Tee Shirts that actually fit right […]
Here it is… go to the local thrift shop… buy several pillow cases (don’t even have to match!)…. take them home and run through a wash and dry cycle… press a bit … then take out the old trusty scissors and sewing machine… what a great find! Jen Merritt of persephone’s awakening.com has this great […]

My feet seem to get colder every year..grin.. and now maybe I can do something about that. Craft and Fabric Links.com has this simple pattern for shoe inserts. […]

Several days ago Elaine left a comment asking: “I am looking for a fabric approximately 3 yrs old…It was( I think) part of a Xmas line. Fabric is a shaded blue grey background with various small trees. I believe this pattern also came in beige and green. If there is any way of purchasing yardage, […]
I’ve been trying some easy stitch combinations to see what they will look like on the fabric I chose for the new wedding block I have started. This is the front of the needlebook cover that I did with spiderweb roses. This is the stem stitch rose that Julia discussed on her blog Camille’s Place. These were […]
