Forest Mobile Tutorial
Supplies: ~1/3 yard green fabric: polyester satin, silk, or cotton. I used polyester satin and dupioni silk. Any smooth, woven fabric can work as long as it can be ironed on cotton setting or higher (i.e. no acetate, or you'll have a melted, burned, stinky, gross mess). ~1/3 yard double-sided interfacing, the sort with glue… Continue reading Forest Mobile Tutorial

First I sewed together the sky and the grass, then cut out the appliques backed with fusible web, ironed them on, and finished the edges with blanket stitch. It's a good… Continue reading Little Farm
