Sewing Inspirations

Thursday, February 5, 2009

I have recently started relearning how to crochet and sew. To be honest, sewing is a lot harder than I remembered it being. Also, I have a hard time cutting fabric straight so that probably does not help my case at all. Anyway, once I can sew a straight line again, I have found something I am extremely interested and excited about working on. They are called One-Block Wonders. Basically, you take a fabric which has some huge repetitive print on it and you make a hexagon with 6 identical pieces of fabric. This link shows a completed piece which is one of my current favorites so far, it also demonstrates another OBW technique, the squares. (The image to the right is not a one-block wonder example.)
