A Quick Tip.....

Since I've been busy making project bags

that means I've also been cutting out 

lots of wool felt hearts.

I use them for the zipper pulls.

I like to add a bit of fun to them.

So this is a quick little tip I learned

from the awesome website WeeFolkArt.com

Talk about a plethora of wool felt info

and cool free patterns!!!

Anyhoo......I learned that when 

you need to cut small items out of felt

you don't' want to use pins.

It distorts the felt and with some tiny pieces

it would be impossible to do anyways.

You just tape your pattern down with packing tape!

It's seriously genius!

The tape holds the pattern piece down

and when you are done cutting,

your felt just falls away because the pattern 

shielded it from the sticky tape.

AND the more you use your patterns

the sturdier they become 

from all the layers of tape.

Cool right?

So here is a peek at yesterday's sewing :)

Annie is holding a spool of thread.

How cute is that?
