Tutorial Saturday: Tie-Dye Bead

by

We’ve been over to wonderhowto.com before for a tutorial so it seems like a great place to go for tonights next tutorial. I made a star bead from the last tutorial I posted and will show it off tomorrow once it’s cooled down. Check out this video of how to do  tie-dye bead. It shoes how to make a twisted stringer too. It’s a two-fer. Whoo hoo! Now I’m off to make my version of this bead. What about you? After all, it is Tutorial Saturday!!

Looking for Tie Dye kits? Our prefered bran is Tulip Tye Dye kits with strong vibrant colours that last.

Etsy Spotlight: Goose Baby Lovey PDF Pattern

Okay, full confession—we don’t have any babies in our life right now, but that doesn’t stop me from swooning over sweet little sewing patterns like this adorable goose baby lovey! I mean, how could you resist that soft, cuddly face and those tiny wings? It’s giving timeless nursery charm with a modern handmade twist.

This pattern comes as a PDF with a helpful English video tutorial, so it’s perfect for confident beginners or anyone wanting to try their hand at sewing softies. It’s designed to be both a comfort toy and a keepsake—just the kind of thing little hands love to hold, and mamas love to treasure.

Maybe it’s time I start putting a few baby patterns away for the (not-too-distant?) future—grandchildren stash, anyone? Even if you’re not sewing for a little one right now, this pattern is a total heart-stealer and would make the most beautiful handmade baby shower gift.
