Cutting Machine Basics: Sewing With The Cricut

Have you ever thought about how nice it would be to have help cutting out your items? Maybe it’s time for you to look at adding a cutting machine to your wish list. Maybe you already have one, but it’s still in the box. Maybe you’ve heard a little about them but haven’t decided if they are worth the investment.

This month, we will look at a few basic projects and uses for a cutting machine as it applies to items for your doll to help you decide if a cutting machine is a good addition to your doll sewing and crafting world. We’ll use the Braided Sandals pattern by Genniewren Designs to create a shoebox from paper and also cut some thicker materials to create the shoes. We’ll learn about cutting HTV that can be applied to t-shirts or totebags. And we’ll wrap it all up with a discussion on cutting fabric using the Peplum Top by Liberty Jane Clothing.

Join us for a month of information and fun and let your creative ideas blossom into wonderful projects you might not have considered without this tool!
