Fabric Glue Pen

When meeting with our lovely customers a few weeks ago we discovered that some of them did not know about the fabric glue pen that is a must when paper piecing. We would certainly struggle if trying to paper piece or do paper appliqué without it, so here is a reminder of how easy it is to use.

Paper piecing is such a fun process but tacking the seam allowance around the edge of a paper shape can be time-consuming and fiddly. However, with our handy glue pen you just apply glue along the edge of the pre-cut paper pieces and press the seam allowance around the edge.

By the time your project is sewn together the glue will have dried and you can simply remove the paper pieces.
You will find detailed instructions in the paper piece packages.

The photographs here show red and pink paper-pieced balls in the making. So grab your glue pen and have a great day!

Pretty fabric pictures

It’s not easy to take simple beautiful and informative pictures of fabric. And we love these pretty pictures of the spring collections by Sündenherz.de. 
We just had to borrow them for the blog.

It’s always fun to combine fabric in different ways from both collections to make a perfect color scheme for a project. Greens from the Pardon My Garden Collection with the pinks and off whites from The Spring Diaries collection gives you a classic spring/summer color combination as seen here. 
By just using the honey colours, pink and off whites from Spring Diaries you get a much calmer look than with the teal colored fabrics. Nothing is more comforting and safe than warm colors and pinks. Thank you Sünderherz for these lovely pictures.
