Superfast PDF Pattern Assembly

January 24, 2014 By Susan 27 Comments

I love digital patterns.

Activity Advent Calendar: You-Print-It, Part 2

November 19, 2009 By crafterhours 2 Comments

I used my sewing machine without thread, at a stitch length of 1.6. The back looks like a bunch of “I”s. Line up the two sheets, holding it up to light to match the…
