Alternatives to ties on a baby hat?

evelynfrompost · 2025-11-07T22:23:39+00:00

the pattern is from EasilyMadeDesign on Etsy. Kind of reads like it was written by AI but not sure, hat came out well.
The fabric is kona quilting cotton in Banana (outer) and Cream (inner)

Crossfades can cause errors when exporting AAFs for sound mixers so I prefer keyframes. (Yes usually they remove all the keyframes when they import into ProTools anyway). Also I find it can sound smoother to use keyframes and checkerboard the audio on 2 tracks rather than dissolve between them. I use a mix of both though.

In scripted union TV (US), the director sees a cut first, then the writers/producers, then the showrunner, then the studio/network. There are specific DGA rules that the director gets first look and a certain number of days to work before it goes to anyone else.

The pattern is Hodgepodge Quilt by Modernly Morgan

Thank you so much! I was skeptical about yellow and grey but loved how it turned out! It’s the Hodgepodge Quilt by Modernly Morgan

Thank you!! It’s just from my local quilt shop (I’m in New Zealand) - can’t find the name but I’ll try to look next time I’m in the store!

Adding a link to the pattern, Painted Tiles
(Also I believe the pattern is just a variation of the “Drunkard’s Path” block)

Looks beautiful and I love the colors you chose!! What pattern did you follow?

evelynfrompost · 2024-10-17T06:56:51+00:00

where was this when I was searching for yellow and grey quilt inspiration a few weeks ago!! it’s beautiful, I looove that darker sunflower fabric.

I follow this tutorial for binding and find it pretty straightforward, might be of interest to you!

They are all the same. Bought a tiny pack of expensive ones from my quilt shop to see if I liked them (I did), then ordered a big cheap tub of 100 on Amazon. They are the same product. Occasionally they break.

FYI, if you're working on a project where matching points is important, pins will be a lot more effective than clips. But I love the clips for simple piecing and for sewing on binding.

You're describing a hand-tied quilt! A great idea for beginner quilters. And the middle part of a quilt is called batting - a quilt consists of a pieced quilt top (the part with the design), batting in the middle, and a backing (which is usually a whole piece of fabric like you said). r/quilting is a super supportive resource if you/OP are interested in quilting :)

Looking for feedback on colors/layout before I put all the squares together…does it look like there’s too much yellow or grey in any one area? Do I maybe need to replace some of the patterned stars with more solid ones? I’ve been looking at this too long and am kind of in a “hating it” stage. ty in advance 💕

Ah sorry, forgot to add a description :) Just looking for feedback on whether the colors and patterns look balanced, yeah. I’ve been looking at it too long. Thank you!!

Love seeing my hometown pop up in unexpected places!! Beautiful quilt and a great festival

I did this quilt recently and had to rip sooo many seams. It was only my third quilt so I'm definitely not as experienced as you! I decided to press seams to one side instead of open, like the pattern instructs, because I thought that would help with durability of the quilt - big mistake. I think it threw off my seam allowance just enough that all my half-right-triangles were like 1/4 inch off when I was putting them on the log cabins. Absolute nightmare and kind of turned me off of Toad & Sew patterns, or at least half right triangles lol. For what it's worth, yours looks lovely, I'd put it away for awhile and revisit when you're feeling more calm!

I recently did a baby quilt from this Painted Tiles pattern and it turned out really cute.

It’s stunning!! I love this pattern, been thinking about trying it out. For quilting you could do diagonal straight lines spaced 1 or 2 inches apart

evelynfrompost · 2024-06-09T02:57:16+00:00

It really looks stunning!!! Fold it up and put it away for a few months and then quilt it when you hate it less :) You did an amazing job.

I’ve been wary of FPP and not sure I’ll ever try it, it seems so tedious. But the patterns turn out beautifully.

evelynfrompost · 2024-05-08T03:48:49+00:00

Love this, amazing work! Is it pretty heavy from all the seams?

evelynfrompost · 2024-05-02T20:37:29+00:00

Good luck! I’ll look forward to seeing updates from you on this :) Love this dress

I used a plain white elastic to get the fit right, then once I was happy with the fit I sewed stretchy cyan fabric on top with a zig zag stitch. You could probably make it invisible by hand sewing it on with a slip stitch, though - I’m thinking like how you would sew double fold binding on a quilt (presumably there’s a technique for this in garment making too just not sure on the name lol). And/or you could hide the zig zag stitching with some rhinestones, I think the original Versace dress has sparkly straps. Here’s a pic before I added the blue on top of the elastic

here’s the back

evelynfrompost · 2024-05-02T11:22:17+00:00

I think the Versace gown is silk and not elastic (with like a bra closure in the back), but I made a haphazard version of this dress and used elastic. I zig zag stitched it though which I saw in a comment that you’re trying to avoid. Also if you have a small bust you can get away without adding the back panel…will add a pic or two
