More Zentangle® Fun! Don’t miss Joy of Zentangle, last page

KiltThis is my modern duct tape interpretation of a traditional Scottish kilt, complete with the customary sporran (the pocket

attached to the waistband). While traditional kilts are made of fabric with a tartan pattern, the patterns on the duct tape strips

of this kilt give it an updated punk rock vibe. With such a wide variety of duct tape patterns available, this statement piece can

be customized to your unique fashion sensibility! You can make it wild and funky or sweet and serene. Feel free to make your

kilt express your individual sense of style!

Tools and Materials ❑ Duct Tape:•3 Purple Sheets (pocket)•3 Flames Sheets (pocket)•1 Electric Blue Sheet (pocket ruffle)•1 Skulls Roll (kilt strips)•1 Pink Zebra Roll (kilt strips, pocket

ruffle, and outside waistband)•1 Gold Roll (kilt strips)•1 Flames Roll (kilt strips)•1 Checker Roll (kilt strips)•1 Black Roll (kilt strips, pocket ruffle,

inner waistband) ❑ Hook-and-Loop Fastener Strips with

` Adhesive Backing ❑ Nonstick Scissors

❑ Paper Trimmer (optional) ❑ Cork-Backed Ruler ❑ Flexible Tape Measure ❑ Cutting Mat (optional)

1 TAKE THE MEASUREMENTS. Measure the diameter of your waist and

add 3" (76mm). This is the measurement for the waistband of the kilt. Divide

the waistband measurement by two. This is the number of strips you will need

to make for the kilt.

MAKE THE STRIPS. Measure from your waist to your knee, and make

the necessary number of strips this length. To create the strips,

measure and cut two pieces of tape from rolls and attach them, sticky

sides together, using the method described on page 16.

2

ALIGN THE STRIPS. Place the strips parallel to each other on your work

surface. Make sure the top ends of the strips are even with one another.

3

CONNECT THE STRIPS. Unroll a piece of tape roll long enough to

stretch across all the strips. Secure the tape along the top edge of the

strips, making sure half of it extends past the strip ends. It is ok if the tape

does not form a straight line; it will be covered in the finished piece.

4

FOLD OVER THE EDGE. Flip the strips over and fold the tape along

the top edge of the strips down onto the backs of the strips.

5

Adhesive AdviceBaby powder is a great way to make duct

tape un-sticky. If the adhesive edges of a

project become a problem (such as when

creating thin fringe), simply dust them with

a bit of baby powder to prevent them from

unintentionally sticking in unwanted places.

18 Parachute Cord Craft

19Parachute Cord Craft

Try adding a second rosette!

Step 1: Remove the white nylon filler from the

center of the 18" (45cm) length of parachute cord

(figure 1).

Step 2: Slide the cord over the headband to

cover it (figure 2). Trim any excess and melt the

ends in place.

Step 3: Form the rosette using the 4' (1m)

length of cord by following the knot pattern in

figures 3–7. Following figures 8–11, make a

second pass through the knot with the other end

of the cord. Keep the cords parallel; do not overlap

the knots formed by the first end of the cord.

Step 4: Tighten the rosette knot as much as you

can. This does take patience and often requires

tightening one loop at a time. Once you have

completed the knot, flip the rosette over. Trim and

fuse the ends together on the underside of the

rosette (figure 12).

Step 5: Slide the completed rosette onto the

headband (figure 13), and guide it to the desired

position (figure 14).

Chapter 3: Toys ➜ Lazy Body Pillow

Chapter 3: Toys ➜ Lazy Body Pillow

1Sew the dart in the head front. Fold the head front piece in half

and sew the dart at the top. Cut the dart open and press it flat.

2Appliqué the face. Cut and iron fusible web to the appliqué

fabric. Iron and sew the appliqué pieces to the face following

the pattern guidelines.

3For Tiger: Appliqué the tiger stripes. Sew the tiger stripes

to the back of the body. Center them on the back piece

about 6" (150mm) and 12" (305mm) from the tail end of the

animal body.

5Sew the head. Sew the head front to the

head back. Insert the ears in between

using the guidelines from the pattern.

Sew all the way around the head pieces.

[For Tiger: Pinch the ears slightly while

sewing the seam if desired.] Cut about a

5" (130mm) vertical slit in the back of the

head to turn it right side out. Stuff the

head and whip stitch the opening closed.

8

Sew the tail to the body. Turn under

5/8" (16mm) of the tail piece, and, using

a ladder stitch, hand-sew the tail piece

to the body about 1 1/2"–2 1/2" (40–65mm)

from the tail end of the body.

4Sew the ears and tail. [For Tiger: Sew tail tip to tail base and

iron the seam flat.] Sew the ear and tail pieces together along

the curved edge, leaving the straight edge open for turning

right side out. Turn the pieces right side out. [For Bear: Hand-

sew a running stitch along the outside of the tail circle. Gather

the seam to make a sphere, stuffing lightly with batting. Cinch

the seam and sew it closed.]

6Sew the body pieces. Stack one layer of quilt batting, two

fabric body pieces, right sides together, and the last layer of

quilt batting (in that order). Sew the pieces together, leaving

the opening as indicated by the circles in the pattern. Clip the

convex and concave curves and turn the body inside out. Hand-

sew the opening closed.

7Sew the head to the body. Using a ladder stitch, hand-sew

the animal head to the body between the arms at the front of

the body. To ensure proper alignment, copy the circle marking

to the body and back of the head. Mark notches at the four

cardinal points for each circle and match them up as the head is

sewn to the body.

These adorable critters are perfect for naptime or playtime.

The projects in this book require some

very basic sewing techniques, so if you are

familiar with sewing you can look through

this section to get refreshed on the basic

skills you’ll be using. If you’re not so familiar

with sewing, however, this chapter is great to

get you acquainted with some indispensible

information about skills, techniques,

and fabrics.

Each project is given a level of difficulty that

takes into account the time and complexity

of the techniques used. If you want to get the

most out of this book, start out with the very

easy projects and work your way up. You’ll

find that each chapter starts with the easiest

project and works up to the most complex.

Ideal for first projects. Very quick to put

together and requires just a few techniques.

A few more skills than a very easy project, but

just as simple to put together.

Some techniques might require some

concentration to get it right, but the

construction is still straightforward.

For those who already know basic sewing

techniques and how to use a pattern.

Insert the tab.First, a sewn fabric tab is looped through the ring.

1

Apply the tab.With the tab folded in half, baste it to your outer bag where the pattern indicates. This will hold it in place while you sew the lining.

2

Apply the strap.Your already sewn strap is applied to the other side of the ring. While the ring essentially creates an extra step while adding your bag

strap, the professional look can’t be denied.

Sewing ToolsWhile basic sewing tools are more than enough to get through some of the simple projects in this book, you’ll find that some more advanced tools are needed for complicated and designer looks. You’ll find what should be in your basic sewing kit first, and then a list of more specialty items. Look over them here to see if you need to add to your sewing arsenal.

Basic sewing kit:Sewing machine: a good, reliable sewing machine with a straight and zigzag stitch can do all of the projects in this book with ease. a presser foot with adjustable

pressure is also a plus.Sewing shears: Sharp sewing shears are essential for cutting pattern pieces from fabric, as regular scissors usually aren’t sharp enough. With that in mind, use sewing shears only on fabric, as materials like paper can quickly dull them.Craft scissors: a typical pair of comfortable scissors work fine as craft scissors. Use these to cut paper patterns

or any other material that would dull sewing shears.Tape measure or ruler: Some bags will require that you draft your own pattern pieces from given dimensions. a tape measure or ruler is crucial to get accurate cuts.

Seam ripper: This tool is essential for any sewer, and makes it a breeze to correct mistakes.Iron: Not all fabrics are well suited to ironing, particularly vinyl and similar materials, but those that are look much more polished after ironing. an iron is also essential for applying interfacing and

fusible web, as discussed later.Fabric marker or tailor’s chalk: because sewing is much like assembling a puzzle, making marks on your fabric is helpful when lining up pieces. The pattern pieces that accompany the projects will have marks that need to be transferred to

the fabric for this reason. air- and water-soluble fabric markers or washable tailor’s chalk do the job best.

Sewing kit tools.In addition to a reliable sewing machine and iron, the essential tools for every project include shears, scis-sors, a ruler, and a fabric marker.

Rings, buckles, & hooks:These kinds of hardware are typically used for straps for your finished bag. No matter what color or shape, they add a touch of style.

Handbag HardwareIf there is any one thing that sets a plain bag apart from a designer one, it would have to be the hardware. While plain or basic bags might have some webbing straps and a hook-and-loop tape closure, designer bags tend to be covered with buckles, snaps, hooks, and rings. Sometimes

they’re useful, and sometimes they’re just for show, but they always catch your eye and have a look of importance to them. For that reason, it’s easy to get intimidated,

but with some patience and determination, you can achieve the same high-end look as designer handbags and totes by trying your hand at installing hardware.

You’ll find most hardware materials at fabric and craft stores, usually in their own section due to the popularity of creating handbags. If they can’t be found there, handbag hardware is also abundant in leather craft stores and online. However,

a handy resource for these items is also at your local thrift store, where you can dissect a cheap bag for all its hardware at a fraction of the cost of new supplies.Rings: This hardware usually comes in

square, circle, or semicircle shapes that add interest to how straps are attached to the bag. a fabric strap is usually slipped through each side; one strap is attached to the bag, while the other forms the handle.
