Technique Thursday brings you "How to Sew a Scalloped Edge," courtesy of Seamwork and the Encyclopedia of Sewing Machine Techniques. Here's the really indepth tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFufBB5-h2I

At APC we stock Stitch-n-tear, applique / duck billed scissors, stiffening spray, fray stop, chalk pencils and a small amount of rayon machine embroidery thread, so why not give this vintage finish a try? Lots of practise first is the key, before moving onto your actual garment.

Me Made Monday brings you Julia's Taggy Blanket using a variety of ribbon colours and textures from our range. Great to select a fabric which isn't directional for a project like this, such as Lewis and Irene's Under The Sea https://amblepincushion.co.uk/shop/under-the-sea-white-sand/
Julia has added another texture to the back, with our Double Gauze Muslin https://amblepincushion.co.uk/shop/white-crinkle-double-gauze-muslin-mousseline-fabric/ which is also very absorbent. Minky Fleece would be another choice https://amblepincushion.co.uk/shop/white-soft-dimple-fleece/ Both are also great for bibs.
