Hi Julia, My name is SallyAnn. I have been watching your videos on KZbin for a month now and I just wanted to send you a little note to tell you how much you have inspired me to get crafting with my sewing machine and other mixed media just like you do. I am very excited to start making things to sell in an Etsy shop and maybe do a craft show or two this Fall. Thank you so much for doing your videos and I really look forward to every one of them. God Bless.

Hi Sally Ann, Thank you so much for the lovely comment. I am so glad that you are enjoying the videos and want to start an Etsy shop and craft show. I know it's not for everyone but I love it so much! Happy creating. Julia

Hi Julia I absolutely love these gorgeous bangles. They are right on target for the spring/summer seasons. I think they would look beautiful with the fabulous jeans you have refashioned. Thank you for sharing your creativity with us all, you are so generous Julia. Send you all my love as always xxxxxxxx 🙋🏻😘❤️🌟

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi Dorothy, Hope you are enjoying your weekend. I'm glad you enjoyed this week's project. It's surprising what one can do with scraps! Happy creating, Julia

[@kayeclough1658]

Thank you so much Julia for sharing as you do, I appreciate the trouble you must go through to record it for us. I just love your work, you're such an inspiration for me, as you make it look so easy.

[@teriallen3062]

Sew absolutely beautiful! Such a wonderful idea for all the scraps I have. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@ChasingTadpoles]

This is fantastic and so beautiful ❤. You are so creative! Thank you for sharing!

[@Suehuskins]

I’ve done this exact thing at least 20 years ago. Thanks for showing this. I have a hanging I made years ago. I remember when the clear Sulkey came out. We were doing all kinds of techniques using tulle and anything that would show through. Tfs

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi Sue, I really like using the tulle for this technique too! It has a different but cool look. Thanks for watching. Julia

[@pattiburchwell257]

Your bangles are beautiful! I love making fabric with scraps. I have a pretty glass vase that I throw all scraps, ribbon, and yarn into. And it’s pretty to look at ❤️

[@pamketron]

Hi Julia - Love these! Such pretty colors and stitches. You create the best things. Looks like a fun project. 🤗🏝🏖🧵🦜🦋

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi Pam, Hope you are enjoying your weekend. This is a colorful project :) a wonderful accessory for spring and summer. thanks for watching...Julia

[@pamketron]

stitchesbyjulia I got some of the plastic cover at JoAnns today. Gonna play with it soon! Thanks for sharing how to use it. 🌷🏝

[@maggiefreeman6513]

These are gorgeous. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@kathybost1879]

I always enjoy watching you- waiting for our snow tomorrow. I've learned a lot from you and you have such great ideas. Thank you Julia

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi Kathy, so much snow in MN and they're getting hit again this weekend. Ugh! We are enjoying a warmer climate this winter but will be going back to MN in 2-3 weeks. I do love and miss the mid west but am glad we escaped this winter:)

[@robindonnelly]

These are mesmerizing to watch. I have my machine set up and ready to go. I just have to get some Solvey and more fabric scraps. Thank you so much for teaching this technique.

[@stitchesbyjulia]

I am so glad you are going to give it a try! It's fun and addicting:)

[@lindasackin3000]

Julia, my bracelet just arrived. It’s gorgeous, Thank you so much. I bought some solvy. I had forgotten all about that technique. Can’t wait to try it again 😘😘. Hugs Linda.

[@janetwest8379]

Hi Julia, Another wonderful project. I love the idea of using scraps. You do wonders with them. I really want to try this technique. TFS!

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Thanks Janet!

[@kayfarm9609]

How pretty these are. And creative! Gotta try it.

[@atomiclisa]

Those are beautiful. I would frame swatches of it---it's a work of art!

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi, Yes this fabric would make a great framed piece. I have used it on bookmarks and cards as well. Have a great weekend-thanks for watching, Julia

[@dewuknowofHyMn]

[@00MistyBubbles00]

These are so awesome

[@loridavila9808]

These are gorgeous! You make the process look like so much fun!

Hi Lori!!

[@beads2yarn]

Those are so fantastic. Thank you for sharing

[@marianrooth9514]

Wi love your tutorials and love the present schedule you are using. Thank you.

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi Marian, It working for me too. I hope I can keep it up this summer when I'm busy with my shop- but for now it's a go!

[@elizabethsawyer5906]

Gorgeous bracelets and great technique to make the fabric used. Gotta give this a go! Thank you so much💕

[@mauricepowers3804]

Those are adorable I wish I had that kind a machine that I could do those stitches

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi Maurice, I have made the fabric collages with just my free motion stitching and they turn out beautiful. Most any machine can free motion. Also, instead of the decorative stitching on top you could zigzag with multi colored thread or use a feather stitch. You do not need a machine with decorative stitches for this project. Thanks for watching, Julia

[@reginap7709]

Another fantastic idea! Thanks for sharing your creative spirit 🌻

[@cynforrest]

Wonderful use of odd bits. Love it. Thanks for sharing your talent. BTW have you tried using longer strips of Solvy (both top n bottom) laying tiny bits fabric, thread ends, yarn, silk ribbon ends, etc etc - then stitch with free motion? After rinsing you’ll have a fantastic one-of-a-kind Scarf!! Very fine bridal tulle can be used for the base as well. Love your idea of adding decorative stitches!! I’ll try that. Thanks ❤️

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi Cyn, Thank you so much for your comment and ideas! I have tried the Solvy on both sides not on a scarf but a smaller version that I used as embellishments. A scarf would be beautiful! Also I love the idea of the fine bridal tulle as the base! I will have to experiment with that. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment! Julia

[@dinahsoar6982]

You make the best stuff...I love how your fabric piece turned out...a piece of art by itself. Your bracelets are so cool. I like how you line the inside w/ felt...I find jewelry next to my skin irritating so rarely wear any, just for special occasions.....I saw a beautiful bracelet worn by a young woman and commented on it; she said she'd collaged it with paper, then sealed it. I was impressed. I meant to try it b/c I'm a paper crafter, but never got around to it. Too many irons in the fire.

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi, I have way too many irons in the fire too! The paper collaged bracelet sounds really cool. Thanks so much for watching! Julia

[@diannecahill457]

I love your channel, Julia, and I subscribed ages ago. Thank you for sharing your textile art. It is something I very much enjoy doing also and I am always inspired after watching your videos. 💖

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi Dianne, Thanks for commenting! I am glad you find inspirations in my videos. Happy creating!

[@tammyadams7965]

I love this technique!! Going to give this a try. Thank you for this tutorial. 🙂

Such stricking fabric! It's simply stunning and I can think of loads of interesting ways to use it. 💎👏Bravo👏 💎 ❤xo💜xo💙xo💛xo💖xo💚

[@tamaradore6834]

Wow, these are gorgeous❣️

[@paulettereid9894]

Love this, great idea!

[@clarecoventry3441]

May I ask if you have have an extended arm on your machine. You appear to have a lot of ledge space on which to place your project. Have you any tips for us without this helpful piece of kit! Wonderful idea and video Many thanks. Clare

[@evasaker2476]

Love love LOVE those! ❤️

[@Indigo6g]

Cute project, thanks! ❤️

[@diannemount1786]

Once again I'm so impressed by your creativity. Do you think wooden cuffs would work for this project?

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi Dianne, Yes wooden bangles would work. The only thing to watch for is the added bulk of the fabric. Make sure you can still get the bangle over your hand. Hope you give it a try! Julia

[@TheFireFlyStudio67]

Love it! Julia can you recommend an affordable free motion machine for someone just starting out please? I love the idea of working with this but the machines I have checked seem very costly. Thank you and keep the ideas coming!! Gina

[@kathipecor37]

I hope you don't mind me offering my 2 cents worth--You don't need a specialized machine. Any machine that you can drop the feed dogs and then the special free motion foot or embroidery foot can be added. I have vintage machines I use for this and even my 120 year old treadle works.

[@TheFireFlyStudio67]

@@kathipecor37 Thank you so much! I am new to sewing and had no idea my machine would do this! Wonderful news . Thank you so much! Gina

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi Gina, Most any machine will work. You need to be able to disengage your feed dogs. Usually this is a lever. On some machines, you cover the feed dogs with a plastic plate. I started on an inexpensive Elna. It did not come with a free motion foot but the sewing machine dealer that I purchased it through helped me with the correct foot. Hope this helps, it's a lot of fun:)

[@stitchesbyjulia]

thanks for the info Kathi!

those are awesome, where did you find the cuffs?

👏🏼Love these Julia😍May I ask you were you got the bracelets?

Where do you get the bracelets? Not at my local craft stores. want to make these. Thanks!

What size is the cuff. Page is not available.

[@kathleentroost2212]

Have you tried using a Supreme Slidder for free motion quilting?

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi, Thank you so much for your comment. I have never heard of the Supreme Slider but just looked it up. Sounds like a good product. I will have to give it a try:)

[@virginiacollis4580]

Where are you? Where have u been? I miss watching you.

[@donnarichey144]

Could you use modge podge glue on top of that?

[@stitchesbyjulia]

I've found that mod podge will darken fabric and change the look. Maybe experiment on a small piece and see if you like the look. Also there is a mod podge made for fabric. Julia

[@judyshaffer370]

Can you use gell medium instead of the glue?

[@Phyllis-nk5ji]

Hi Julia, We call a mix of scraps "hamburger" :-)

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi Phyllis, Good name!
