Ideas are endless. Don't throw your scraps away, follow and come and create with us using our tutorials - for all those scraps

My finished tunic - part 6. I decided to make a second one as well, a sleeveless version, lined with buttons and kangaroo pockets for a casual comfortable feel.

I really want to see the tunic so I have been sewing for hours and have made much progress. I think it will be finished this week. - progress 5.

Topstitching - 4. I have constructed the patchwork fabric pattern pieces. And now have to top stitch to secure them all in place. I will be washing the tunic of course, but will do so on a low temperature non-agitating wash as I don't want the pieces to fray.

Now that I have the pattern I want to see the tunic finished! I am doing it very systematically. I chose to begin working with the center front and center back panels. I will first piece all of them. I am creating all the pieces with mosaic patchwork and will then heavily overquilt all the pieces. I will have to choose some music while I do this as it is quite repetitive.

Yesterday I was deliberating between a tunic and a coat. Using the mosaic patchwork technique to create fabric, creates a relatively stiff fabric. The fabric is strong and warm but I wanted pockets and sleeves and I solved the dilemma - 2.

I have a goal. To complete my mosaic patchwork tunic or coat before this winter finally gets to us - 1.

This morning a friend on facebook asked in a post what our obessions are. I was just thinking about that! Standing with a cup of coffee in my studio and looking at all the things that I have created this week. Making new fabric from scraps is what I would call my obsessions. It is the technique that I connect with the most.

The pockets are perfect, they are colorful and flat and I have made them all the same size so they fit very nicely into one side of my bag. And then I thought why not share this idea. So I sat down and wrote a tutorial for Good Luck Amulet Pockets which should be done by this weekend.
