Collapsible ORT thread catcher for sale in my store! #Sewing #Handmade

Also known as a “thread catcher,” the item you see above is sometimes referred to as an ORT holder. The letters O-R-T stand for “old ratty threads” or sometimes “odd random threads.” My mother-in-law, Anita, has made me half a dozen of these thread catchers, and I absolutely love them! So when she asked if she could sell one of her lovely creations in my … Continue reading Collapsible ORT thread catcher for sale in my store! #Sewing #Handmade

The story behind my “People Who Read” meme… #Humor #Bibliophile #StopMotion

A lot of people follow me on YouTube because a.) they sew for dolls, b.) they enjoy collecting dolls or c.) they like to watch stop-motion videos. Today’s brief meme is for all three! On the weekends, I design doll clothes sewing patterns, which people can download for free, right here on my website, ChellyWood.com. But in my “day job,” I’m actually just an ordinary … Continue reading The story behind my “People Who Read” meme… #Humor #Bibliophile #StopMotion

On a purple background, a woman's hand holds up a yellow card with a blue stripe running down the left side. At the top of the bleu stripe, the Dritz logo appears as white logo image and text on top of a black background. The card holds 10 of the 12 sew-on snaps that were originally place on the card. Two of the snap locations are now vacated and holes are punched through the card where the snaps would have been.

How to Sew Snaps (AKA Poppers) With a Hole in the Middle #Sewing #DollClothes

I’ve had a similar video available on my website for quite some time, but it wasn’t until recently that I realized my original “How to Sew Snaps on Doll Clothes” tutorial video doesn’t have any voiceover. So today’s blog post is going to catch that video up with new technology. As I’ve said before, by adding voiceover to my older tutorials, I’m making them easier … Continue reading How to Sew Snaps (AKA Poppers) With a Hole in the Middle #Sewing #DollClothes

How to Sew Snaps (AKA Poppers) on Doll Clothes Part 1 –when the snap doesn’t have a hole in the middle #Sewing #DollClothes

Today’s tutorial is an upgraded version of a concept I’ve covered here on ChellyWood.com before. I don’t know if you’ve noticed this, but Dritz snaps sometimes have a hole running through the middle of them (which used to be essential for sewing on snaps), but lately they seem to be making them so you can’t slide a straight pin inside the little hole–if there even … Continue reading How to Sew Snaps (AKA Poppers) on Doll Clothes Part 1 –when the snap doesn’t have a hole in the middle #Sewing #DollClothes
