eighteenth century agrarian business skip to main skip to sidebar about contact eighteenth century agrarian business sewing furniture paper food all saturday october 5 2013 bento bag i really love these linen bento bags they re great for farmers markets and lunches i also really enjoy the challenge of looking at something and determining the construction i could tell these were simple in that lovely origami and inside out kind of way that sewing often is but it took a bit more experimenting and researching to figure this out as far as i can tell there isn t a really good tutorial i found a couple confusing and incomplete ones online for making these i m happy then to get this out there all the steps photos and diagrams after the jump read more posted by jlord at 10 15 am 7 comments labels bag gift organization sewing tutorial saturday september 28 2013 more coasters napkins and towels this is the next post in the series of when i sewed for two days mostly just for the sake of sewing because i can never seem to have enough i made dinner napkins and a kitchen tea towel again the links will take you to the tutorials i ve done here for those i love everything from fog linen and they ve got these simple linen coasters i ve been wanting to make for a while here s how cut two pieces of 4 x 4 fabric with right sides together pin and stitch around most of the perimeter 1 4

the edge voila posted by jlord at 9 55 am 1 comments labels gifts sewing tutorial saturday august 3 2013 small pouch pencil case i could have sworn that a while as in years ago i posted on making little zipper cube pouches i thought this was about to be a sister post for a rectangular pouch but i see no trace of this other post this then is long over due i recently bought a yard of fantastic red and white linen and then went to town sewing up my favorite quick projects and using it all up in a day and a half it was so great to spend that much time sewing i love these pouches they take very little material and make great gifts too instructions after the jump read more posted by jlord at 4 33 pm 1 comments labels gifts organization sewing travel tutorial sunday june 9 2013 kitchen cabinet improvements and returning from the dead hello there to everyone who checks in every few months to find that we re still on semi permanent hiatus jessica and i both have lots going on right now and we decided a while back that regular updates are for the moment too much to handle it was a strange feeling when i baked my first cake after that conversation last summer to realize that i didn t need to take pictures i hushed the voice at the back of my head that said explain why you re separating the eggs think of a narrative for this cake for now i wanted to share a fairly major project in which allen s considerable handyman skills were completely crucial i could never have done this on my own we have a small kitchen and we use it pretty efficiently we utilize a lot of specialized storage devices like spice jar holders that mount to the inside of cabinet doors and a magnetic knife rack that i jerry rigged with metal rulers and super strong magnets but allen s parents gave me a pasta maker for christmas and it s the first item that truly no amount of kitchen reorganization would accommodate it was re do the kitchen or move of course neither of those is truly an option right now but i had an aha moment over this pin on pinterest and it blew my mind that i d never thought of moving our existing cabinets up to the ceiling and putting open shelves below

of counter space at first i d planned on mounting mason jars to a board which would lean against the wall but on my way to the hardware store it occurred to me to do it this way which involves less infrastructure and is probably a little easier hangers to make the two shown here you ll need 6 wide mouth pint mason jars 100 of cotton cord 7 scissors ruler i find it helps to do make these while the rope hangs hang it from a back of the door coat hook or nail a small nail somewhere about 7 off the ground for each 3 plant hanger you ll cut 3 pieces of cord 14 long and 4 pieces about 15 long for your stop knots line up the ends of your long cords and fold in half you should now have 6 lengths of 7 cord about an 1 5 from the bend in your cord create your first stop knot mine had about 4 5 loops 10 from your top stop knot take two neighbor cords and tie a basic knot repeat for each pair 4 down from the last knot tie a basic knot between one strand of two neighboring knots be sure to be joining two cords that are already close do not cross over a cord to tie to another cord see the diagram and photo repeat for each pair 4 down from the last row of knots create another stop knot repeat steps 3 5 twice more to complete one hanger repeat all the steps to create your second hanger plants i used mason jars i ve had some hearty herbs in lesser containers so i m hoping they ll work i put small rocks at the bottom of each jar transfered the herbs adding potting soil when necessary the nursery didn t have basil starters yet so i m growing them from seeds fingers crossed notes you ll see that mine are different lengths i started the first hanger with less cord than i needed and adjusted for the second one i have no idea what i m doing with that branch how have you grown herbs in your home any other small space solutions have you done more adventurous macramé as it s now been weeks between when i did this and when i m posting this entry i d definitely say put your plants in things meant for plants not mason jars what was i thinking posted by jlord at 6 00 pm 8 comments labels garden project tutorial tuesday january 22 2013 naturally dyed tea towels for christmas i made a small batch of tea towels to give to friends and family and since i d had in my mind for a while to experiment with dying i decided to experiment on friends and family after the jump you ll find the basic steps for creating a tea towel and what i did to create a gradient on the towels from blueberries and blackberries read more posted by jlord at 11 43 pm 6 comments labels gifts household project sewing tutorial sunday november 25 2012 hello again you might have noticed recently a new post after a long long while my code for america fellowship has just ended and i made a b line back to making things this year has been a whirlwind filled with lots of new friends experiences 22 flights and lots of non sewing projects elizabeth is taking a break but i m hoping i can start to get regular ish again i can t say how regular my life could get crazy again what and where will after cfa be but this site is important to me i believe the best thing about the internet is sharing if i m able to share anything helpful at any frequency i want to also now that i m so front end web development happy these days and even blog about it now too the entire site might just get a big facelift but in other seasonal news i m happy that my year has slowed down in time to get excited about the holidays my boyfriend and i picked up this little tree above today one of our favorite coffee shops in oakland subrosa is selling them and i have all kinds of old fashioned christmas visions in my head handmade paper ornaments popcorn garland hope the holidays have kicked of great for you and thanks
