Masking with Sew Easy Stitching Templates & A Giveaway

·
May 13, 2014
Hello everyone! The Sew Easy Stitching Templates have been on my wish list for a while. I placed my order for them as soon as they became available at We R Memory Keepers's official online store! WRMK is also generously giving me a set of the 4 new stitching templates as well as two spools of their Fancy Floss to giveaway on the blog here! Check out the details at the bottom of this post!
I tried the stitching templates on paper (shared here) and decided to try a different surface with a masking technique! I'm very happy with my stitched muslin gift bag!
A closeup before we get into the how-tos!
The word bubble hello icon is on the bottom right of the template.
I first used a pen to mark the stitching holes on both the muslin bag and a piece of Post-It! note. I connected the dots on the paper to help guide me cutting it out to create a mask.
I then aligned the mask to the marks on the muslin bag and secured with some washi tape.
I then stenciled the word bubble with an ink that dries on fabric.
Easy Peasy!
I folded the edge of the bag down so it would be easier for me to reach the stitching holes. I didn't poke the holes because it was very easy to pull a needle through the muslin fabric. I used common back stitch for this project.
I found it very soothing to stitch a little icon every now and then :) My stitching is not perfect but it makes me happy!
For your convenience, here are the direct links to the products I used on today's project.

How-tos
The Sew Easy template I used is call ICON. It is the red one with fun iconic images. The templates are just a couple of dollars each but if you want to start with one, I would recommend this Icon Template for everyday paper crafting needs.

These are really fun! Great projects! I would use them to stitch on cards.
Indy on
Love this! I would make some cards. I saw this at our local stamp store and was intrigued. Now even more so!
Gaby on
I would make a dice bag with the little diamond on it!

So, I have a friend who is mad about foxes – I would definitely make her a muslin bag with a fox on it for her to store some favorite jewelry pieces in!! Thanks for the great tutorial – you always make things easy to understand!! Thanks!!

When I get a great-grandchild I’ll be using the templates on things I make for him/her (hopefully one will come soon). Until then I’ll be using them on my greeting cards and to embellish my other art projects. thanks for the detailed instructions on how you did your project.
