Quick Tip..The Wonders of Wonder Tape

in Sewing Tips & Tricks on 30/01/13

Hey sewers and crafters,

I love to find things from around the house to aid in my sewing projects. How about you??  Have you ever heard of Wonder Tape?  I recently tried it and I am now hooked!

Wonder Tape is a double sided WASH AWAY TAPE.  It adheres to your fabric like regular tape and then you can sew without your fabric, trim or item jiggling around.

The process is simple:

  1. Figure out length of tape needed
  2. Peel and stick onto the face of your fabric
  3. Peel the second side away
  4. Place item on top of stickiness  ie) sewing labels, ric rack, webbing, etc
  5. Gently finger press to secure
  6. Sew, sew away

Just think of everything you can use this for..

      Hi Brenda,

      Is your tape double sided? Double check. You can also try a small amount if fabric glue along the zipper tape edge. I even use an elmers glue stick. Run a small amount along the tape or fabric edge. Then use wonder clips on top until it dries.

    I find the scent from the car air freshners lasts about 4-5 months. Maybe longer? I now use my old ones I as pin cushions..

My entry for this week’s design challenge @spoon My entry for this week’s design challenge @spoonflower. Browns are definitely not my favorite color these days, but the challenge was “earth tones” and using just 4 colors. 

Ps. This started as a super simple block print and then I scanned it into the computer and drew the pattern in illustrator. 

If you have a moment you can head over to spoonflower to vote. ❤️✔️

I am so glad it’s the weekend. How about you? I’m off prompt for the month and here is #carvedecember, Day 7 and the prompt for “Long”. I really like structured, linear and streamlined prints. With this challenge, I am playing around and trying new things.

So many people have asked me about my process. One So many people have asked me about my process. One tip is that I love using a grid to create the overall design and keep the block print streamlined. Here’s how you go about it. #carvedecember #carvedecember2022 #blockprinting #haberdasheryfun #blockprinted #speedballink

Day 5 for #carvedecember is “Plain”. I’m not Day 5 for #carvedecember is “Plain”. I’m not a huge fan of florals, and for some reason this shape came to mind. By itself it is kinda boring/ plain. In a repeat design it definitely comes alive. 

What is your printing process? Do you like all an over scattered or a grid pattern? My favorite way to work is using a pencil grid and then making a very linear and streamlined print.
