Fablossom Flower Maker

by

 

The Fablossom kit comes with ready to use fabric pieces, clips and gemstones. You do not need glue, scissors or patience. We really loved making the flowers! It really is fabulous! The flowers are actually really pretty and the gemstones add a lovely touch. I would highly recommend this for a stocking stuffer – for anyone!

I could literally sit there for hours and just keep making the blossoms. They were just so easy! The Fablossom device holds the fabric in place whilst you arrange and fold the petals. It’s like having extra hands.

 

We got extra DIY creative with ours and made some school hair bows. We used the DIY refill pack and our own fabrics (old damaged uniforms). I decided for extra durability and to allow me to add the school buttons (from the old uniforms) I would hot glue the pieces into position. I went ahead an hot glued them whilst still in the Fablossom tool. I was able to make 10 of these in an hour. I then added a little hot glue to the back and attached the pins or clips.  I even layered several of them together for extra big rosettes.

 

 

 

Fablossom isn’t just for fabric, they now have a paper version too.  I love the elegant styles – they’re just captivating and the paper flowers would be PERFECT for a wedding gift or something like that.

Cross Stitch Ice Cream and Frozen Treats

Summer is the time for sweet treats, whether eating them or stitching them. This collection of patterns is full of designs that are good enough to eat. Almost. 

This year of ice creams from Simone Balman Art is lots of fun, and you could also stitch up these treats individually if you’d rather. The full piece is 210 by 300 stitches, though it’s not full coverage. It uses 25 colors and comes out to 13.6 by 20.1 inches, or 34.5 by 51.2 cm, as shown on 14 count fabric. 

These mini Popsicles from Mariana Gonclaves ART as super sweet and quick to stitch. These would also be a fun border to another summer project. The full design is 43 by 46 stitches, which is 3.1 by 3.3 inches, or 7.8 by 8.3 cm, on 14 count fabric. 

Sam X Stitch has this fun sweet treat sampler, which again would be fun to stitch as individual pieces (maybe on napkins?). In all it calls for 18 colors and measures 153 by 153 stitches. That comes out to 10.93 inches or 27.75 cm on 14 count fabric. 

Another great sampler is this one with ice cream and other sweet treats from Cute Patterns by Maria. At 119 by 132 stitches total, working the full pattern would be about 8.6 by 9.4 inches, or 22 by 24 cm on 14 count fabric, and it uses 33 colors. You can also stitch individual designs, which range in height from 35 to 45 stitches, and in width from 11 to 28. 

This collection of four sundae patterns from Stichrovia would be fun to make for a kitchen or a teen’s room. Each pattern is around 40 by 50 stitches, so they should fit in a four or five inch hoop if worked on 14 count fabric. 

Or stitch up one of the treats from Stitch Chart Studio‘s collection of seven ice cream cross stitch patterns. These range in size and in number of colors needed, but most would fit in a five or six in hoop (and one in a four inch hoop).
