Etsy Leiden Craft Party - Presenting the Workshops!

Here are the 3 workshops we will be doing at the #craftparty in Leiden!
You can register for free through Eventbrite.

Workshop 1: Landscape Book



Workshop 2: Origami Dress and Sakura



Workshop 3: Geometric shapes




Workshop 1: Landschapboekje
Deze workshop wordt georganiseerd door Caro de Bruin van Honoriginal. Naast haar Etsy winkel geeft Caro ook workshops in o.a. Japanse boekbindtechnieken. Bij Handwerk Studio Leiden verzorgt ze de haakcursus.
Bij een landschapboekje wordt er van dikker papier door middel van scheurtechniek een boek gemaakt dat openstaand  de illusie van een (berg)landschap geeft. Hiervoor worden onder andere afgeschreven atlassen gebruikt, maar ook steviger materiaal als behangpapier is er heel geschikt voor.

Workshop 2: Origami jurkje en sakura
Deze workshop wordt door Simone van Sako&Jaci en Ama de Jong gecoördineerd. Simone richt zich bij de Handwerk Studio o.a. op het  upcyclen van kleding.
In deze tweede workshop wordt er gevouwen en geknipt om een wand- of raam decoratie te maken. De origami bloemen en jurkjes worden gemaakt van o.a. dun tijdschriften of woordenboek papier.

Workshop 3: Geometrische vormen vouwen
Aan de derde tafel worden er geometrische vormen gevouwen met hergebruikte papieren winkelschapstrips. Ama de Jong  (Miss Minoes / All Fairness) demonstreert de technieken om tot strakke vormen in 3D te vouwen, zonder dat je lijm nodig hebt.

De workshops zijn doorlopend, je kan  aanschuiven wanneer je wilt.

Etsy Shops Leiden organiseert op 6 juni 2015 van 14:00 – 17:00 een Etsy Craft Party in de Handwerk Studio Leiden.
Het thema dat Etsy voor de Craft Party heeft gekozen is: “Kaleidoscope: Paper Taking Shape”.

Bij het uitkiezen van de workshop activiteiten stond voor Etsy Leiden 2 dingen centraal. Ten eerste het gebruik van gerecycled materiaal. En ten tweede dat er, wegens de droogtijd, liever niet met lijm gewerkt zou worden.
De workshops zijn doorlopend, je kan aanschuiven wanneer je wilt.

Sewing project for knitters: an interchangeable needle case.

Image
I treasure my interchangeable circular needles. They are easy for adding needle length when knitting large shawls. And you always have all needle size/length combinations at hand. My circular needle set is from KnitPro , but there are other brands who carry them, like HiyaHiya. The only size that didn't work for me was 3mm. The wooden tips kept breaking. Steel points are better for me when thin needles are required. But for everything 3.5mm and up I am very content with Knit Pro. Keeping the needles loose in a basket was not an ideal storage solution. I needed to keep them out of reach from our cat Dita as she has been caught stealing wooden crochet hooks and sock needles before. But searching for a pair of the same size in the basket became a bit of a nuisance. Google brought me to the blog Life According to Missus Vonkysmeed . She posted a sewing pattern for a needle case. I read the whole pattern description twice to make sure I understood all the steps to take. For ...

Sew Along - Worlds End Drape Shirt - part 1

Image
After coming across a post about Vivienne Westwood's Reading List I was browsing around on the WORLDS END SHOP blog and found an interesting free Do It Yourself pattern of the Drape Shirt . Enthusiastic I shared the link to Facebook friends. And now some friends are going to make it as well. Do you want to join in? Here's the link to the pattern: http://worldsendshop.co.uk/drape-shirt/ The pattern comes in 3 sizes (small/medium/large). The PDF has to be printed out on A4 papers. For size large it was 43 pages. Very important: do not mess up to order of the papers or you're screwed! Clear a floor space of 2x2 meter minimum. Start in the top left corner. Lay the first printed page down. Place the second under it. Continue till page 5. Then cut page 6. The lowest half of page 6 fits on the right side of page 1. See photo's: The arrows show where to connect the pages. Then crawl on all fours for half an hour with cellotape taping all the pieces tog...

DIY ear cushions for headphone / Crochet pattern

Image
A couple of years ago I bought a Logitech Headset ClearChat Style. The set was a nice little price and perfect for Skype. And after a few years the headset still works fine. However I did get a problem with the soft ear cushions falling apart. "Easy to fix" I thought, I'll just buy some new ones. Alas: these are not available! A friendly guy at the electronic shop helped me trying if other brands would fit, but we couldn't find the right ones. So I got in touch with Logitech, asking which replacement ear cushions they would advice. But they couldn't advice beyond whether or not the warranty still would apply. I knew my purchase was too long ago for that. But I didn't want to discard a complete headset, just because I couldn't find new foamy ear cushions. So it was time for a creative solution:I made my own ear cushions from organic cotton. Here is the crochet pattern for headphone ear cushions: Material: Big organic Cotton (I used Linea ...
