String Spool Tutorial
From making the spools I had some triangles, so I made some pinwheels! they are pretty small as you can see by the mat! Barely 2"! I might incorporate these into it some how.

So here is my brown block with the sides added. . .I chose purple a) because I LOVE purple and this is for *my* sewing room! b) because I got a GREAT deal on the fabric at Hobby Lobby!
And here are some of the finished blocks. I wanted a white for the spools, but I didn't find a white I liked, so I went with a light brown. . .I am also going to do them a little different than hers, I am going to make them look like there are on a "shelf" with dark brown fabric between the rows of spools!

I would have never guessed!!! I LOVE IT! What a great idea about doing it for your sewing room and making it look like it's on a shelf! Also, very impressed with the TINY pinwheels!
ReplyDeleteThe pinwheels weren't that bad.

WOW those are some teeny tiny pinwheels...can't wait to see how you incorporate them!!
ReplyDeleteyou know what's funny Heather?!
ReplyDeleteYOU commented on that string spool tutorial post!
Cool. Yours look great. It is a great way to use up scraps. A magazine in Europe picked up my idea and is going to publish it in their sewing articles. I'm so glad to see you and others use this idea.
