Tutorial:
I found this cool old kitchen cabinet door at an antique shop and thought
it would be fun to use to make a mag board out of it to hang in a sewing area craft room ext...
It's all about thinking outside the box these days right?
This was one of the samples at this last Convention.
If you saw it.
1. I started with the old cabinet door and picked up 2, 12 by 12 magnet board
pieces to fit inside.
2. I randomly pieced together different chunks of the Sweet Stitches Fabric
and
looked to see how it would look.
3. Then I sewed them all together with the basic 1/4 inch seam allowance.
4. Once that was all finished and pressed. I
placed the applique pieces I wanted to
put on top to see how they would look.
5. I cut out a square of the stitching pattern and ironed on to fusible batting.
6. Then folded the edges over and pressed.
7-8-9. I then added a little piece of FELT from this
fabric shop that matched
the Tangerine Tango color very well. I love their selection of felt!
I cut it using our Scallop Squares Duo
Stampin Up die.
and pinned some pins into it.
( The felt scallop square I did not sew, I just pinned on).
For the zigzag detail:
I used the Tasteful Trim
SU Die
A piece of felt again with iron on adhesive already ironed onto it and cut it out
at the same time so that I could just iron it onto the fabric.
After peeling off the paper backing.
10. I then took an oversize piece of med-heavy fusible batting, and
put it over the inside lip of the cabinet
front. Tracing exactly along the line. Then cut along that line.
11-12. Then I just centered the main fabric piece I had quilted. Over the cut out batting.
And centered to my liking.
Glued it all together with trusty-ole super glue and viola!!
