Hey Everyone, Happy Weekend. Sometimes I spend time on the weekends doing other stuff I love. While pattern drafting, fitting and construction are my favorite things, I also like to quilt, embroider and lots of other fun stuff too. This weekend I’m working on my baby projects… I did a flannel pillowcase and a coordinating tooth fairy pillow and I started a cuddle fleece quilt. …Here’s a pic of the tooth fairy pillow before it’s stuffed.
I decided to see how fast I could shoot, edit and upload a QT using one camera (and spending zero minutes on beauty time). I only have one camera today because my husband is shooting a wedding on the Cape and he took the lens off my other camera :(. So, I thought it would be fun to try to just use my little Canon (I love this camera). I mounted it on a light stand with my gorilla pod. That made it easy to raise and lower the camera to crop my shot!
Yesterday started working on a cuddle fleece baby quilt. Because I haven’t worked with this kind of fabric for a while, I decided to read the instructions. SO glad I did. Check out today’s QT for most of the juicy details. After editing the video, I realized that there was one thing that I forgot to tell you. When you’re working with fleece that looks like fake fur… it’s best to trace the shape on the back and use scissors to cut it out. If you use a rotary cutter, you’ll cut into more of the nap, making a bigger mess and possible creating some bald spots along the edges. Anyway… I’m off to start putting the quilt together. If I have any Ah-Ha moments, I’ll share those with you next week! Happy Weekend
