This week’s Monday Mash Up really is a blending of various things.

Fabric Friday – Easy To Make Bookmarks

May 2, 2014May 2, 2014 John - Gentleman Crafter22 Comments

Just a quickie for Fabric Friday this week that combines my love of fabric with my passion for reading.

Bookmarks are fairly easy to create and involve some very basic skills. In this post I’ll give you a very basic overview as to how I create mine to give you a jumping off point in case you wanted to have a go yourself.

Monday Mash Up 1 – If Friends Were Flowers …

April 21, 2014April 21, 2014 John - Gentleman Crafter38 Comments

This week I am trying to get another regular weekly blog post on the go. This one will be called the Monday Mash Up.

It’s the Monday Mash Up because it will involve taking all sorts of products and/or techniques and coupling them together to make a finished creation.

This week will feature a card but future weeks are likely to cover the range of creative past-times that I enjoy.

Fabric Friday 2 – Simple Fabric Bowls

April 18, 2014April 16, 2014 John - Gentleman Crafter23 Comments

Welcome to the second post in the Fabric Friday series.

Last week I promised that I would be back each Friday to show you some fabric projects, tips and ideas – yay! I managed two in a row!

Since then I have had a number of you contact me to say that you are new to sewing and need simple to make ideas; some of you also asked for details on how to make the fabric bowls that I showed you last week.

So, Fabric Friday 2 ticks both of those boxes with a walk-through on how I make the fabric bowls.

Fabric Friday – An Update And A Prelude

April 11, 2014April 9, 2014 John - Gentleman Crafter71 Comments

It has occurred to me that I often prattle on about how much I love working with fabrics but haven’t really shown much of it on this blog.

To rectify this I will be setting down soon and putting together a series of blog posts that will come out every Friday (assuming that I have the time of course).

They will aptly be named – Fabric Friday :)

This one is a little teaser to show you just a few of the things that I have done in the past and what I will be showing you how to do in these posts (oh, and a little update on the upcycled shirt quilt that I have been working on for what seems like forever!).
