DIY.. Teabag Inspired Rope End Covers

in DIY Projects, Fabric on 03/06/13

I thought I was finished talking about the fabric flag garland that I made last week.. While I was packing it up to send to my friend, I realized how ugly the ends of the rope were.. They were covered in duck tape to hold the string from fraying. There was no way I would send it looking like that.  So, I decided to create one more post and then I would officially put this one to bed! You can check out the garland tutorials here  – Part 1 and Part 2

I thought this was the perfect opportunity to unveil a fun and new format to show my design process.  I’m calling it  “THIS PLUS THAT EQUALS…?  In this case I started with the ugly rope ends covered in duck tape.  My inspiration was a tea bag and I came up with.. Cute teabag inspired rope end covers..

Here is how I made them:

Materials:

  1. Scrap fabric – 2 colors
  2. Small piece of batting – Pellon makes great batting
  3. Steam A Seam – The Warm Company
  4. Pens and paper
  5. Sewing materials – thread, pins, scissors and sewing machine
  6. Iron and ironing board

6 Easy Sewing Steps:

  1. Cut 2 small pieces of fabric – about the size of a business card
  2. Turn and fold in all sides 1/4″. Press with an iron. Fold in half and iron again
  3. Draw 4 small hearts on your Steam A Seam Paper. Iron down to your fabric. For more info on using Steam A Seam, check out my tutorial here
  4. Cut out your little hearts. Peel off the other backing and place onto the face of the fabric. Iron in place
  5. Cut 4 small pieces of batting about the size of a postage stamp. Place on either side of the the rope end
  6. Close and pin together. The rope end should be fully enclosed. Place into sewing machine and gently edgestitch around all 4 sides

Viola!!

Have a great week and happy sewing.

My 5yr old loves to snoop and to go through my stuff. He especially loves my block printing supples, recently found my stash of stamps and lined them up.  When I saw my handiwork from over the years, I thought it would make a fun picture.

Day 16 prompt for #marchmeetthemaker2021 is “Fro Day 16 prompt for #marchmeetthemaker2021 is “From The Archives”.. I first posted this picture 2 years ago. ❤️ the red and the simplicity of the print. If you have attended one of my zoom block printing workshops, you may recognize the shapes? Super simple, yet mixed together they make such a fun modern print.

Outcome from today’s zoom class and my intro to Outcome from today’s zoom class and my intro to block printing workshop. Love the wonkiness of this one, it is a little offbeat and the print definitely doesn’t line up. 🍊 is not a favorite color... yet for some strange reason I still kinda like this print. 
.
A BIG thank you to everyone who joined in on the zoom fun! What a great group we had, people attended from all over - Canada, Mexico and the US.
