Hi there! Here is the tutorial for the Everyday 3 Way Accessory featured on So You Think You’re Crafty:
Fabric Requirements:
- 1 yd jersey knit fabric (chocolate)
- 1 yd jersey knit fabric (mustard)
* Note: you will have extra fabric leftover *
How To:
- Cut a bunch of 2.5″ x width of fabric strips. I used 13 yellow strips and 7 brown strips for the necklace part. You can add more strips to make it fuller if you’d like. Then I cut an additional 6 yellow strips for the tie. Set aside the tie strips.
- Serge or stitch each necklace (NOT tie) strip right sides together along the length.
- Turn strips right side out. I love to use this technique to turn tubes; it’s fast and easy!
- Serge or stitch each strip together at the ends to create a loop.
- Layer your loops, alternating colors until you are are pleased with how it looks.
- Now take the 6 strips you cut for the tie. Remember how you made friendship bracelets back in the day by making knots? That’s what you’re going to do now. You can really knot them anyway you like. If you are knot-challenged, just braid or twist the strands. All we’re looking to do is make something cute to cover up the seams. Here’s a tutorial I found that would work well.
- After you have your strips knotted, wrap the strand around the seams.
- Hand stitch the knotted strand to the underside of the loops. Trim the knotted strand.
That’s it! Enjoy 
If you make one, please at it to our flickr group so others can get inspired!
Hey guys! Hope you all have fun Super Bowl plans. We’re just hanging out around the house to watch the game. I’m not the world’s biggest football fan but I always look forward to the Superbowl. Tonight I can’t wait for stories about the players, Carrie Underwood, and the commercials
We just got home from Sam’s and Brad took this picture of the girls in the shopping cart:
Ha. Sara Paige was out of the cart within 5 minutes and Kate was out in 10. It was good while it lasted

Thank you guys for voting me on So You Think You’re Crafty! My project was the Quilted Wall Hanging:
I started with two strips of silk and two strips of toile fabric.
I sewed the strips together and then layered the top, batting, and muslin.
I found a motif I loved and used freezer paper stenciling to adhere the design to fabric.
Then I appliqued a fabric “S” inside the motif.
I free motion quilted the whole thing and added a ruffle jersey border and loop to hang it from.
Finally, I hot glued glass beads to the border.
