Carolyn Wainscott back again with a sweatshirt makeover into a classy cardigan. My fave old throw-over cardigan that I work in around the house and have even run errands in (in fact, I have it on as I write this piece!) was created by simply whacking off the sleeves to the length I wanted and […]
Hello out there in quilting land. Carolyn Wainscott here to share one of my quilts. Maybe a white on white log cabin quilt block doesn’t sound very exciting or interesting, but I had one on my bucket list for quite some time before the actual work began. The quilt even had its own name from […]
Carolyn Wainscott here, wishing all of you crafters a happy crafting year! My first 2020 project for you here at Seams and Scissors is a quick heart-shaped mug Rug ror your BFF. Simply sew fabric tubes and weave them together like we used to when making those yarn potholders—remember those? My BFFs include my two […]
Hello all you crafty people! Carolyn Wainscott here. Have you seen those beautiful Christmas trees converted from a mannequin and tree branches? I began seeing them before Christmas last year on Facebook and fell in love with the idea, but it was too close to Christmas. It would also have been a bit more involved […]
My sister-in-law, Sandy, wanted a red, white, and blue wreath, so being the good sister-in-law that I am and being that it was her birthday and being that it just so happens I had some patriotic prints in my stash, I ran to Joann’s with my 50% off coupon for a wire wreath base and […]
Hello again, everyone. Carolyn here from Carolyn’s Canvas to share my new, bright, shiny casserole carrier with you. When I saw Fairfield’s gold Aluminor, I knew almost instantly what it would be used for—a casserole carrier. The one I have has seen its better days; it has been to many church suppers, family dinners and […]
Hey, everyone, it’s Carolyn again of Carolyn’s Canvas with my new tote that I’m so very pleased with. Just a couple of weeks ago, I had been scouting around for a basket/box/plastic container to have on the front seat of my car to keep cold drinks and other things in, but I hadn’t found anything […]
Hello, Quilters! It’s Carolyn Wainscott back with a traditional quilt setting that can be used in so many ways from scrappy to elegant. This vintage looking doll fabric is one I have been reluctant to cut into. Can anyone out there relate? It has been in my stash for several years but “My Vintage Dolly […]
It’s hard to believe I designed the original Double Ring Wedding Quilt almost 20 years ago for my brother and sister-in-law’s 50th wedding anniversary. It was a queen size whole cloth quilt. When Seams And Scissors’ editor asked me for a wedding quilt I decreased the size down to 14 1/2″ to be more usable […]
Carolyn Wainscott back again with a sweatshirt makeover into a classy cardigan. My fave old throw over cardigan that I work in around the house and have even run errands in was created by simply whacking off the sleeves to the length I wanted and cutting open down the center front. I favor 3/4 length […]
