Blousy Blooms Pillow Cushion [Hidden Zipper + Pointy Corner Removal Tutes]
Haven't done any #selfishsewing in quite a while so took a day off from the computer (writing blog posts, tutorials, newsletter and sewing patterns) at the end of last week to have an afternoon at the sewing machine.

Christmas in July 2016 Blog Hop for Windham Fabrics
For new readers visiting today from Windham Fabrics Snip-Its Blog, and for anyone else who doesn't know anything about me, hi, I'm Chris Dodsley owner of the made by ChrissieD brand, a sewing teacher in Manhattan and VP of the NYC Metro MOD Quilt Guild, blogging about my textile crafts and travel adventures. That's how I introduce myself these days and then there's the bit about how I love to share my tips and tutorials and projects on my made by ChrissieD blog, twice monthly newsletter and various social media sites including Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter and Flickr.
Updated & Even Easier - Hidden Zipper Tute
One of my most popular tutorials is my Quilted Pillow With Hidden Zipper tute. A huge number of readers have used my double sided fusible technique successfully and I've shared photos of your projects too in the original blog post. Here are pics of how I've used it and even turned it vertically too.
Quilted Pillow [Tute]
How would you like to make two quilted pillows just like the ones I designed for Windham Fabrics as part of their Christmas in July Blog Hop 2016 using the Craft Paper Christmas collection by Whistler?

May 2016 Progress & News
May has been a funny month, I feel like I haven't achieved but as I'm typing this progress report I'm really surprised by how much I have actually done, I'm in conversations regarding Christmas in July Blog Hops and, as my daughter Flicky is home from Uni for the Summer, I've done numerous clothing repairs for her. My biggest progress was in finally starting a twice-monthly newsletter - more of that in a bit.

April 2016 Progress & News
On the surface progress is slow again this month, I've been doing a lot of talking with fabric companies, working on a big plan for something I'll be able to share in the future (fingers crossed) and doing so much travelling I have no idea where I am or what time zone I'm in.
