LESSology Challenge #25: Creative inspiration of Linda Lapotka

Hello friends! Ready for a little more creative inspiration? Let's see what design team member Linda Lapotka came up with for LESSology Challenge #25: For the love of fabric.

Hello There! Oh boy do I love this challenge. I found some American Fabric at a garage sale and needed to make some stick pins for a swap I am in. So when the ideas started coming for this swap I was in 7th heaven.
I took the fabric and made some little bags. I filled them with crushed walnuts.

  

Then I made some little cloth match books, and added some lace and ribbon.

Next I added the stick pins.

I finished them off with a little button and a snap.

Here is the video of what I did.

LESSology Challenge #25: Creative inspiration of Julie Tucker-Wolek and Lynnda Hosni

Ready for another round of creative inspiration from the design team? Let's see how Julie Tucker-Wolek and Lynnda Hosni interpreted LESSology Challenge #25: For the love of fabric. :)

Hi everyone!!!

So excited about this month's challenge!!! Using FABRIC!!!! YUMMMMM!!!

I was inspired by Jennifer Edwardson and an altered embroidery hoop she made for the Bella Blvd. blog :) I started with a 14 inch embroidery hoop I found at an antique store a few months ago :) I misted the hoop and set it aside to dry :)

Then I grabbed some vintage fabric a friend had given me awhile ago :)

I took the fabric and then took some 'negative' hearts (from Bella Blvd. papers)  that I had saved from a layout I made a month ago ... and laid them on the fabric ....

Then I misted the 'negative' hearts right onto the fabric :)

And here is my end result :)

I made some of my rolled flowers for this project :) 

Hope you all can join us!!

Julie :) 

 

 Hello it's Lynnda Hosni here..

Today its my turn to reveal my upcycle project for

LESSology Challenge#25 : For the love of Fabric

....So for this month we want you to dig up some fabric stash....

it could be from an old skirt or dress that you no longer want them...

cut few corners and stick it to your project!!! Walla done!!! {LOL}

I cut this fabric out from my old pillow case.... to use for the cover

of my mini album...besides the Fabric, I used the cardboard from the back of 6x6 paper pad..

LESSology Challenge #25: Creative inspiration of Kirsty Vittetoe and Yvonne Yam

Ahhh...this challenge is so up your alley right, altered enthusiasts? Let's check out what design team members Kirsty Vittetoe and Yvonne Yam did for LESSology Challenge #25: For the love of fabric....

Hi all, it's Kirsty here sharing my project for May Challenge.

I started with making this mini album for my son....

Lione and I went to San Francisco together last summer....

You could hop over to my blog for more pages of the album, but what I want to show you here is how I put this album together...

After using Zutter Bind it All to bind the pages together, I cut a piece of chipboard backing (those that come with your online paper crafting products), punch a few holes...

and then used twine to tie the binding wire to the chipboard piece....

Here's how it looks from the side....

The last step is to cut some denim fabrics from my girl's old jeans

and use them to decorate my mini album.... tada.... here's a boyish mini album for Lione...

Hope you come play along with us!

Hello there friends! It's Yvonne here to share my project for LESSology Challenge #25: For the love of fabric.

I upcycled a sturdy box. :)

The box was given a mixed media makeover with paints and mediums for texture.

Then embellished with lots of yummy goodies from Purple Pumpkin and remnant felt pieces. That red leather base is from an over cellphone cover.

The insides of the box were also lined with felt. :)

Ooooh...super fun upcycled projects involving the use of fabric! Can you think of more ways? Come join us for LESSology Challenge #25: For the love of fabric!
