Confetti
Placemats
General Sewing
Make durable confetti placemats for Halloween from two layers of
clear vinyl, a layer of colored nylon net, and decorative
holiday confetti. Small, flat Halloween decorations, like the
jack o' lanterns, ghosts, and bats shown here, can be mixed with
the confetti. Random rows of machine stitching divide the
placemat into compartments. For ease in stitching on vinyl, use
a size 90/14 needle and a long stitch length. Loosen the needle
thread tension, and stitch at a slow speed with a sheet of
tissue paper under the placemat. Look for seasonal plastic or
metallic confetti in many shapes at craft and fabric stores as
well as card and gift shops. The instructions that follow are
for finished placemats that measure approximately 12" x 18"
(30.5 x 46 cm).

Felt Bag with Feather Appliques
Sewing Machine
Project for Singer Featherweight
Materials needed:
- 24” x 56” white felt or similar-type firm fabric
(for sewing bag in double thickness, 48” x 56” is
required)
- 6” felt in magenta, pink, etc., for appliqué
shapes
- 31” bamboo stick – approximately 1” in diameter
for carrying handles
- Threads to match bag fabric and appliqué fabrics

Equipment needed:
FEATHERWEIGHT II®
Instructions:
Directions
- Cut out the bag from one continuous piece of fabric –
41½” long by 16½” wide. If the chosen fabric is too soft,
double the amount of fabric will be required. In this case,
cut the bag out twice. If necessary, for additional
reinforcement, the fabric pieces can be stabilized with an
fusible stabilizer.
- Cut out two side pieces – 11” x 7½” (if the fabric has
to be doubled, these pieces must be cut out twice).
- From the 41½” x 16½” rectangle, cut out circles for the
grip, approximately 5½” in diameter.
- Transfer the feather motif onto the felt – six times for
each side of the bag.
(See attached feather motif pattern.)
Sewing Procedure:
- Stitch around the cut out circles for the grip, using
Zigzag Stitch B. If using double thickness, place the 2
layers together and treat as a single piece.
- If using fabrics that tend to fray, hem the two 16½”
sides.
- Use Overedge Stitch D to finish the upper raw edges of
the two separate side pieces.
- Fold the edges inward approximately ½” and stitch the
hem with Straight Stitch A.
- Arrange the feathers on the bag front and back, and pin
in place.
- Using the Stretch Straight Stitch A, topstitch along the
center of each feather. Pull thread ends to the back and
tie. For this step, use a contrasting thread color.
- Stitch the narrow side of each side piece onto the bag
bottom. If using felt, the seam allowances point outward,
and do not need to be finished. If woven fabric is used, the
seam allowances are inside and must be finished with the
Overedge Stitch D.
- Stitch all side seams, and then turn the bag right side
out.
- To further stabilize the bag, topstitch along all side
and bottom seams on the outside of the bag using a ¼” width.
- Using Overedge Stitch D, finish the raw edges of the bag
above the seams.
- Turn the edges under approximately ¼” and stitch the hem
using the Straight Stitch A.
- Turn the ends inward along the fold line and stitch
using the Straight Stitch A.
- Cut the bamboo into 2 15-1/5” long pieces. Smooth the
cut edges and push them through the tunnel formed in Step
12.
- If desired, add additional support to the bottom of the
bag with a piece of cardboard.

Face Patch Pockets
General Sewing
Sew quick and easy faced patch pockets in almost any
shape you can imagine; sew animal faces, geometric
shapes, flowers, or enlarged motifs from the garment
fabric itself. Two tightly spaced rows of stitching make
it possible to trim seam allowances close, leaving
crisp, smooth edges, even on curves, inner corners, and
points.
Materials needed:
Use stable woven fabrics for best results. Back
lightweight knits with fusible interfacing, and face
them with a woven fabric. Plan the pocket design
diameter to be at least 4" (10 cm), and determine the
location of the pocket opening. For added interest,
place the pocket at an angle or embellish it with
stitching lines, embroidery, appliqués, or buttons.

asymmetrical. Draw short perpendicular line at each
inner and outer corner. Layer design on lining fabric,
right sides together; pin.
|
|
 |
2) Stitch on marked line around entire
design, using short straight stitches. Stitch second row
of stitches just outside first row; at corners, taper
stitches into first stitching line. Clip to stitching
line at corners; trim fabric away to within 1/8" (3 mm)
of stitches. |
|
 |
3) Cut small slash in lining, near
lower edge. Turn pocket right side out through slash.
Use point turner as necessary to smooth outer edges;
press. |
|
 |
4) Fuse slash closed, using small strip
of fusible interfacing. Embellish pocket as desired. Pin
to garment; edgestitch, reinforcing stitches at opening
|
