May seem small to others, but when it takes 15 mins to load a 1 min video, it gets very frustrating after a while! Being I am a visual learner, I use YouTube for my "how to's." We got faster internet installed yesterday, so now it just PLAYS when I click… YEAH! With this being said, I have been looking at how to hand appliqué.

Trace them onto Wonder Under fusible web (it is cheaper and I buy it by the bolt including the placement numbers or letters.. Next I cut around the traced pieces (no on the lines) to reduce the amount of fabric getting stuck up during fusing. Choose the fabrics (I love batiks because they fray less and I love the colors). ...
I have been making some cute little card table playhouses. They have a playmat on the top for cars and trucks, trees, shrubs and flowers. There are three windows, a door and a mailbox which opens. I've been adding cats and butterflies. Now it's time to change things up. I ordered some camouflage fabric online which said it had a brown background fabric. When it arrived it was 3D (leaves and such are cut out). It will make a perfect little hunting blind, just for fun. Put in some pockets for flashlight ...
