Who wants S'mores?, a crosscrafting post ;)

Hello my fellow Cricuteers!

How was your weekend? I hope it was splendid! I am here today to share with you another TERRIFIC TUESDAY project for EXPLORING CRICUT.

Some of you know I am a "cross-crafter" and often times I reach for my sewing supplies...Lately I have been back to the sewing room more often and here is one project I created for a school function ( who does not love s'mores? and who would not love to carry them in this cute bag, right?)



 The super simple sack is made out of muslin. I used a pinking rotary blade to finish this project faster (no serger involved ;) done in about 30 mins ;) -

Materials used:

 1 yard of string and a toggle.
 ( 38" x18")  Muslin
Rotary cutter with pinking blade.
sewing machine
thread
Cricut E2
Cricut Iron on Vinyl in black (IOV)


There are many tutorials out there for this reusable sacks such as this. Mine is not lined and I chose muslin for a more natural look. The "S'mores" iron on vinyl cut was created using Cricut Craft Room Basics and the fire from Create a Critter (gotta' love this cart!!!)- trust me when I say this, PLEASE DO NOT use non woven materials they melt LOL!!!-

Anyhow, to put it together just sew the short sides (right sides together) and stop about 2 inches short from the top. This will create the casing for the braided cord. Fold 1" from the top (wrong sides together) Iron to create a crisp line.  Regularly you would sew your casing and then thread the cord, well given the fact that time was of the essence I created my loop with the toggle and a heat sealed knot at the end. Positioned the loop between the layers of the casing and saw with a piping foot ( the contrasting colors of the fabric and the string were a HUGE help on creating this :). Finish by sewing the bottom edge, for a more polished look, keep the stitched vertical edge centered on the back.


Create you design on CCR, mirror your image, cut, weed and apply to the sack - if you have never used Cricut's IOV, follow the instruction included with your material. And voila! This holds a large bag of marshmallows, a package of chocolate bars and a box of crackers with ease.

Good morning cricuteers!! I hope your week is off to a fabulous start! This fine Monday morning brings another Exploring Cricut Challenge! . This week we are having a Christmas in July Blog hop/ Challenge. So If you came from Michelle S blog you are in the right place! If you just happen to stumble upon my blog ;) and would like to check out all the inspiration provided by the Exploring Cricut  team please start here. There might be a few surprises along the way ::hint:: I hope you join us on this blog hop and challenge!!    For my project I Created a Card/Gift bag Decor. I have seen some " Card Holders" that you add to the front of a plain GB to help you "show off" your card, after all you have invested time and effort into it so why not showcasing it as part of the gift wrap :).. ( But for the life in me I cannot recall where I saw them or what they are called :?)  Got inspired from this idea . So if anyone knows please let me know so I can give credit...
