RETURN OF
THE EWOKS
Star Wars revisited in the
form of a toddler’s costume,
made by Stephanie Woodson,
from Swoodson Says. Isn’t
it as cute as an Ewok’s
ear? Stephanie leads you
through her step-by-step
tutorial at swoodsonsays.

Toss aside the crayons, inks and paint pots – Stephanie K. Clark
would like to walk you through her gallery of stitched art. And
it’s quite some gallery, at that. Her main subjects are houses
that hint of her Midwest childhood ... all evocative and all
beautifully detailed. But Stephanie also likes to stitch the odd
vintage caravan and portrait, too, so her sites are varied. Her
web address is stephaniekellyclark.wix.com/stephaniekclark,
or you can browse her blog at http://www.stephart.blogspot.com.COOL IDEA FOR
HOT POT CROCHET
It’s awe-inspiring to see what
creative minds can come up with.
Take this wall full of multicoloured
crocheted potholders, for instance.
Hardly the thing that would drive
most people’s vision – but a source
of artistic possibility for Finland-
based artist Anu Tuominen. Her wall
of coloured circles excites the eye
and is an exercise in tactility. Go to
her website, at http://www.anutuominen.fi,
to see what other ugly ducklings
she’s converted to swans.

Martha Stewart meetsLittle House
on the Prairie! Stitched samplers have
been around for generations, but this
one caught our eye because it’s such
a pleasing mix of simple sweetness
and contemporary style. It’s the work
of Margaret, from the A Sampler of
Stitches blog (asamplerofstitches.
blogspot.com.es), using the original
pattern of Bari J., from We Love French
Knots, http://www.welovefrenchknots.com.DRESS-PATTERN
ACCESSORISING & RULES
Dedicated stitchers would never dream of leaving
home without the perfect bag. And what could be
more appropriate than these two designs – one
made to look like sewing patterns and the other like
tape measures? If you want to buy one, click through
