"Let's Get Sewing" with Eileen Hull Sizzix Dies

The theme for this month is “Let's Get Sewing” and I am totally on board for that! I love incorporating sewing and embroidering in my Eileen projects. For this month, I made two decorative pillows that Eileen will be able to use in her new vintage trailer.

These are covers made for 12 and 8 inch pillow forms. For the larger pillow, I made a pieced quilt block strip to applique onto the base fabric.

On the 8 inch pillow, I was inspired by Madeline Arendt to make a woven heart applique using two cuts from the Tunnel Arches Die Set. I first ironed light interfacing on to the fabric pieces to give them more support and to keep the edges from fraying. Then I cut the arches shapes with the die set. After marking the lines with an erasable fabric pen, I cut the "weave" strips carefully with scissors and then interwove them together before sewing it onto my pillow cover base.

The tongues on the side were cut from felt using the Tunnel Arches Die Set. I used several of Eileen's retired flower dies to cut shapes from felt with I embroidered and stitched onto the pillow cover.

March in Miniature with Eileen Hull

The theme for this month is “March in Miniature” – what fun! Eileen Hull's Creative Team designers are interpreting it in various ways and thinking outside (or inside) of the box. Mine is inside of a book!

I carved out the inside of an old book in which I could build a little mini scene:

In the cover of the book, I cut a shape to match the window die from the Windowsill, Flowers & Vases Die Set. (I traced the die and cut the coverboard with a sharp Xacto knife.)

Eileen has so many fun mini elements in her various die sets. It was fun to build a little scene!

Festive Makes with Eileen Hull Sizzix Dies

All month long the Eileen Hull Inspiration Team has been making Christmas projects using Eileen's dies. There have been so many great ideas! I made some cute little gift tags using the Tunnel Arches and Home Sweet Home Die Sets.

I put together a ton of the little animals and trees and then had fun arranging them onto tags cut using the Tunnel Arches set. It's hard to see in the photos, but I also added glitter to the snow for that festive winter bling.
