You should give them a shot! Even though they’re really small it’s great zipper practice and super easy.
Did you find the class useful? I’ve never watched a Blueprint/Craftsy class but I’m intrigued.

I thought so. I’ve watched it all the way through twice now, once just because I thought it looked interesting, and now with some intent to actually do the projects. To be fair though, I don’t know what they’re charging for individual classes these days - I’ve had the full site subscription since they opened it two years ago. So I can’t comment on whether it’s worth the price, per se.
I can’t believe I only notice this craftalong now! I’m preparing for an exam now but next week I can hopefully get back to crafting. I have been working on reducing my stash for a while. I don’t have that much but at least half of my stash is really small scraps.
You would be a wonderful addition to this craftalong…I have seen some really good ideas…I am putting together a large quilt and plan on using the scraps to make a bunch of smaller projects, including a name pillow for the baby.
I am cutting off the selvages this morning and will start cutting after morning chores.
ah ha! I would never thought of a pendant…but good idea…I could see this selling really well at some of the festivals this summer…it has such a boho feel…love the bright colors you use…
Oh, that is such a marvelous idea! The color combinations are lovely and I really like that it is a little mishmash, rather that perfect symmetry and straight lines. I would totally wear that!
I have four pendant blanks and I was trying to think about how I could do something similar to this scrappy pendant that you have made here. It is so beautiful. Then I realized that I should make more of these embroidered inchies I made for a swap and just cut them in a circle instead. I can hardly wait!!
Those are beautiful and would make awesome pendants!!!
@Abbeeroad, I really love your and Magpie (CLM) artistry and talent! Some people are drawn to the work of Picasso, I’m drawn to the work of you two!
You’re too sweet. Thank you! @Magpie is the scrap master and a personal inspiration as well.
They are indeed beautiful! I was just thinking how they would make beautiful buttons as well…you should look at the Singleton Buttons. I love making these to use on pouches, prayer flags, fabric journal pages, and so many things.
I just love the scrappy, cozy, colorful, unique creations you ladies come up with! I’m also amazed at how much you get done with young children in the house!
Those inches are mine! I love them. They are so cool to look at and even neater to touch! I could mount one in a square bezel as a pendant, Hmm… It would be very difficult to choose a favourite though.
Abbee that pendant is very interesting. I wonder how a little scrappy like that would look in resin…Hmm…
THANK YOU for the button suggestion. I really like making these inchies, but I don’t enjoy paper crafts. This has helped me expand my thinking on how to use them.
I love your TM patch! Great job. I look forward to seeing more of your TM creations in the future.
I love that pendant, @Abbeeroad! And, @MightyMitochondria, those fabric inchies are amazing! Did you stitch each one independently or make a big panel and cut them up? Either way, they are gorgeous!
And, I just fell down the rabbit hole of crumb quilting videos. I will most definitely be trying that technique! I have a lot of fabric scraps from when I was buying fabric for the Hexie Swap…
This is a great idea! I have some stainless steel pendants I bought for metal stamping without realizing that, and it’s too heavy a metal for that. I wasn’t sure what to do. Maybe I will use some of them to do something like that!
@craftADDchick you are so kind! I tear a bunch of tiny fabric strips and sort of weave them together and tack the pieces to the base fabric with a few stitches. I draw a 1” grid and then embroider. When I’m all done stitching I paint the whole piece it’s a few layers of mod podge. When it’s dry I cut it into squares.
That’s a pretty neat way to do it! I might have to try it one of these days
