- Опубликовано: 14 окт 2024
- Hi everyone, In this video, I show how I used scraps of fabric to make this cute llama design. It looks like strip quilting but quicker. If you create a llama or other appliqué using this technique, please post to instagram and tag me @stitchesbyjulia. I would love to see your
work!

Hi Julia. I've just discovered your channel. I love it! The first thing I noticed was your accent. I immediately recognized it as most of my relatives live in North Dakota and are Norwegian. Made me feel right at time, lol. Keep the videos coming, they're great!
Your comment made me smile! I grew up in ND. We definitely have an unique accent. Thanks so much for watching, I am so glad you found my channel!
Julia you are awesome and I love your friend llama ❤ I look forward to making this project.
That is so cute. You sure use and know a lot about different products. I will have to try and remember some if not I can always refer to your video. Thanks for the pattern. Maybe after Christmas I can try the llama.
Your teaching is so clear and concise for a most wonderful project. I love the llama so much and plan to borrow your cute pattern. Perfection.
Hands down, you are a creative wizard! Genius idea!
Thank you! 😊
I used this idea and did an elephant! So fun. Thank you for this tutorial🙂
I really enjoy your style! You're like my silent crafting friend... though you're not silent, I'm hoping you get it... right now I'm really drowning in mending tasks... I try to work in some fun at some point... I have been on a kick of making decorated pockets for alot of my clothes... I find it very helpful to have several pockets instead of a handbag! Lloving the llama! Keep up the fun work! :-)
Hi Patricia, I am so glad I have crafting friends from all over the world. RUclips is a great sewing community. Happy creating, Julia
That is just too adorable!! I love llamas!
Thank you for the printable. I have had a ball doing fabric collage because of your inspiration. I love this llama and I made him into a pillow. Thanks again!
I'm so glad you are enjoying scrappy appliqué. It's really opened a lot of doors for me.
Very, very, very beautiful.
Thank you very much!
Love it. Watching you Julia always gets the creative juices flowing.
Terrific video & superb instructions. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
A fabulous llama, Julia ! It looks very friendly too. Thankyou for sharing, love it.
HI Jean, I have used this design so many times! Jackets, jeans, pillow, bag, etc.
Thanks for watching, Julia
Hi Julia what a treat on a Friday evening. This is wonderful and thank you so much for the printable, that is so generous of you. I love the finished piece and what a fabulously creative way to use up scraps. I wouldn’t have thought of using the school glue, I use the stick and spray which is a temporary fix, but can be expensive. Julia you always come up with projects which are unique, fun and easy to try out. No wonder you have so many loyal subscribers. I hope your weather get a little better, in the U.K. we are experiencing a mini heatwave which is so welcome after the cold, snow and rain. I will try and blow some sun your way. Have a fantastic weekend Julia, sending you lots of hugs and loves as always. Xxxxxxxxxx Dorothy 🙋🏻😘❤️
Hi Dorothy, We are having a warm weather weekend!! So excited- the snow is almost gone. Thanks so much for watching, this was an easy project but it's fun how different each turns out depending on the fabric scraps. Have a creative weekend! Julia
I just love love your style of sewing and crafting, the way you put things together is awesome , I’ve been watching your videos over and over, your an amazing artist , I’ve learned so much from watching all of your videos, when a person is a sewer or crafter , I think we learn from each other , that’s part of the journey, it’s that way for me at least and I’ve been sewing for around 45 years and still learning, I’m working on the free motion right now among other things, just got the llama printable, will see how that goes 🤔
Hi Susan, Thank you so much for your kind words. I am so glad you are finding my videos helpful. I agree that learning from others is the way to creativity! Have a great week and have fun with the free motion stitching.
Utterly gorgeous..........
Absolutely love your Llama Julia !!! Actually - I love ALL your tutorials - so clear and easy to understand . Shel C is one of my favorite mixed media artists and I really admire her talent with paper painting . Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful creations . Kind regards - Judi - Australia
I wrote before how much I appreciate you sharing your applique/collage technique. I love watching it over and over. I'm giving it a try today!
Did you have a chance to work on it? Let me know! It's a fun technique and can be used in lots of different designs.
Yes! Thank you so much for replying. I appreciate it. :) It's a gift for my dad. I am going to send you what I did on Instagram. I think I'm going to leave it as it is, not quilt it. @@stitchesbyjulia
Great project. I’d like to try this with some different animals…maybe a horse or a cow. Thank you!
How cute. Your ideas are really informative. I love listening to you working. Thanks
Thank you so much!
This is so flippin cute, may granddaughter is going to love it. Thank you for sharing this with all of us.
Hi Cheryl, Llama's are so popular- I'm sure your granddaughter will love it. Each turns out so differently. Have a creative weekend! Julia
This is ADORABLE! I love the llama and the scraps and stitching. Fabulous project.
This is absolutely fantastic! I love it!
Thanks so much for sharing, Julia ♡ x.o
My best art friend just told me about you today and I LOVE LOVe your videos. Checked your etsy shop too. Great Work. I tried free motion a couple of times in the past but did not do well. I need to try again. I want to make the fabric strips with the snips first I also want to make the fabric journal cover with the 2 eyelets. I like the idea about taking the pages out to work on or add more pages. Thank you for the free LLama printout I am sure I an do that.Your new subby in California but moving to Illinois
Hi Sue, I'm so glad you found my channel. This is a wonderful, creative community. FM stitching takes practice but it is so rewarding once you "get it" Happy creating! Julia
Looks really great Julia!
I really enjoy watching how you do your projects! It really motivates me each time I watch one of your videos
This is great! I love anything that helps use up my scraps and this is so unique!
Using scraps is the best! :) Thanks so much for watching Angie. Have a creative week! Julia
You are phenomenal, I purchased some drawing from you on etsy, you have me hooked. You have me inspired thank you soo much
Hi Kelly, I am so glad you are enjoying my sewing classes and patterns. It is so good to hear feedback. I hope to make more in the future. Also thanks for your order! Julia
Love the Llama! 😀
Just love your ideas. The cool weather than the hot Florida weather.
This is a adorable. I've been wanting to do a pillow with a llama on it for a while now-you have inspired me. Thank you for sharing your process. The 24 inches of snow is melting quickly here in east central Wisconsin with the 60 degree days we have been having.
April snow showers bring May flowers-right? Our snow is almost gone and we have a gentle rain this morning which should help clean up the rest. I love the llama craze. So glad you liked the video! Happy creating. Julia
Oh Julia! This is too cute! I have been mentally searching for a technique to applique pieces for small quilts, and this is perfect! As soon as I finish cleaning my craft room, I'm going to give this a try. I can't wait! You are a wonder! Thank you so much!
Hi Deb, I'm so glad you found this technique helpful. It's so easy but looks complicated-my kind of crafting! Have fun creating your quilts- Julia
This.....is.......ADORABLE!!!! SUBBED👍
Just love this and had to give it a try so i made one for my niece 's birthday. Thanks for all you do!
Very informative tips! I am always looking for new techniques for my applique pillows.
Your llama is beautiful, I have to try this. I can use it for so many things I'm working on in my mind. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Karen, I'm still making llamas! I just put it on a batch of sweatshirts. The llamas are still so popular. Thanks for watching! Julia
Just found you!! Loving this appliqué technique. My creative juices are flowing. Thanks! 😊
Julia, you are wonderfully creative and it is infectious! Thank you very much!
Thanks you for your kind words Linda. I love sharing my passion and crafting journey. Have a creative week! Julia

You are SEW CREATIVE!!! I always look forward to your videos!!! I am learning so much from you! Thank you Sew much! Please keep making your videos! 🤗💗
this Llama art is so cute!
Thanks so much for watching! It was a fun and easy project. Julia
Hi Julia, I’ve just discovered your channel, and you know when you have that “Ah ha moment” 😇 that’s exactly what happened!
I’ve been looking for a way to create a fabric collage but so many videos make it look very labor intensive. The way that you create looks so much fun! I love any craft that allows me to use up all of my fabric scraps is a definite winner in my book.
You explain everything so well, all of the questions I’ve had about fabric pens, what products you can use to colour in I noticed you have covered all of them on your channel! 🙏😊
Thank-you so much for sharing your talent and skills with us, what a treat, I can’t wait to sit back now and binge watch all of your videos,
and then off to go and see your Etsy shop especially now that Christmas is just around the corner 😉🌸
HI, I'm so glad you were inspired by my videos. I too love using scraps and combining lots of patterns and textures in a project. Love the scrappy look! Happy creating! Julia
Wow that is cute! The I Like Store at the MOA would love to get their paws on your creations, Julia. I love (and LLike) your creative spirit and designs. Thank you.
Thanks so much for watching Madge! Happy creating! Julia
Dana Murphy this looks like fun!
Love your work
Thanks for watching! Happy New Years! Julia
My Gosh, thanks for the pattern. I will try it, it is really cute. Like your video. Thanks for sharing. USA
Hi Linda, I hope you give it a try! Julia
Awesome Julia! So want to try this Method with the darling LLama. I love it. You chose beautiful colors and embellishments! Great Job!
Julia, thank you so much 😊 I really love that Llama, beautifully made, as always thank you so much 😊💗💓❤️💕
Thank you so much for the shout out Julia :) We are so on the same page! I think we must be sisters from another Mother! I have used heat and bond and fabric scraps just like I my paper painting exactly like you did with your cute Llama. I made Christmas stockings. It can be called fabric painting I think. I was also thinking of making some gel printed fabrics and then doing some sort of art quilt with this method. I would send it off to my Aunt for the actual quitting part though as she has the free motion quilting skills..not me. lol You know..maybe we could do a collaboration with video?
OMG- I've been binge watching your videos just this morning! I love your channel and your creative style! Love your giraffeicorn! I have never worked with pan pastels but have been thinking about giving it a try. I would love to do a collaboration with you! Perhaps something with Gel printing on fabric- Happy Creating and thanks so much for the inspiration! Julia
I love Your free motion sewing projects!😍 Llama-so cute!

Very inspiring! Thank you!
Thanks for watching! Julia
I am SO going to do this project! Thank you~
Hi Jael, I hope you give it a try. Each turns out so different depending on your fabrics. It's really easy and goes together quick. Happy creating. Julia
Hi Julia,
I bought a free motion foot. It fits on my machine. There is a spring on the foot. I tried to pay attention while you used yours. Mine seems to lift up with the spring. I think yours is lifting up too, but doesn’t seem like it lifts up as much as mine, but maybe it is because you are used to it. I hope I can get better at it. It looks like so much fun watching you make art with yours. Blessings!
Hi Chrissie, Yeah for free motion! It's addicting! Yes, my foot has a spring on it and it lifts while sewing. It takes a bit getting use to it but is very helpful when going over various thicknesses. I have a small portable machine that I take on the go and it seems to really jump around. Each machine is different. Hope this helps- have fun! Julia
stitchesbyjulia I am not giving up. I will keep on trying’, really like the llama. Thank you for the free printable. I am going to try it out.
Just beautiful!!! LOVE the whimsy!! Thank you for sharing!!
Thanks so much for watching and subscribing! This is a wonderful sewing community!
Hello my neighbor...I'm from Wisconsin...
I really love this! I think I would be terrified to do the lettering... the rest looks easy enough
Midwest is best! You have to try the lettering. It's really not the hard. I do go slower and turn my project more. It helps to see it better. Happy sewing! Julia
I love, love thank
Loved it! My new favorite RUclips!
Oh goodness this is way too darling - thank you so much!!!!!
Gorgeous, love it. Thank you. Avril xx
Hello Julia. This is so lovely xxx
Hi Ann, So glad you enjoyed it!
I just love your works, thank you for sharing :-)
Good morning, Julia...TY for the Freebie and the tutorial. I noticed that the free motion foot on your machine has a circulare darning hole rather than the oval that is listed on Amazon. Is there a big difference between the two. I am a newbie.
Geeze. I dreamt about llamas last night. ;) This must be fate. Thanks!
Is that Osnaburg what they used to call "kettlecloth"? It looks like it. I loved that stuff. ;)
I haven't heard the term "kettle cloth" in a very long time. After graduating from college, I managed a fabric chain store and we had kettlecloth. I believe it's very similar, the osnaburg has slightly more texture. Thanks so much for watching. Julia
@@stitchesbyjulia Thanks, Julia, for bringing this back on my radar. I'll have to give some a look. It was unique and came is such vibrant colors! I'm really enjoying your videos!
Do you think a beginner could do this? I'm a little confused. If you use heat n bond to adhere the llama to the fabric, what is the glue for? Sorry to be so clueless....LOVE THIS PROJECT!!!
Hi Melissa, Sorry for the confusion. I use the school glue to adhere stripes of scrap fabric to the back side of the heat-n-bond. This step could be eliminated if you don't use the fabric stripes and went with one fabric for the body of the llama. Hope this makes more sense. You do need some basic free motion skills to complete this project like I demonstrated but it is not hard. Thanks for watching. Julia
Thank you for the video. I have been trying to figure out how to create something similar with an elephant. I’ll tag you on IG once I finish it for a birthday gift in a few months. Thanks.
Hi Cynthia, I thought about doing an elephant in this same manner also! Yes- please post a picture once your project is completed. So glad you found it helpful. Julia
Llove llove llove!!
I want to try this fun technique 💓I would like to know if you use bobbin thread when you do the free motion and also what stitch length do you recommend. I guess your pens and other supplies are available from Amazon or perhaps Joann’s? Thanks for sharing 💓Loved this and learned so much.
Hi, I use embroidery bobbin thread in my bobbin. Here is a link so you know what I'm talking about: amzn.to/2HmpnGR You could get it at Joann's also. It is thinner than regular thread but still strong. I especially like it for decorative stitches that are close together. It doesn't get to bunched up. I only use the white color in my bobbin. If it shows on the top, I lower my needle tension a bit. I think the pens would be available at an office supply or perhaps Michaels. Thanks for watching! Julia
The stitch length is usually set at 0, and the feet dogs disengaged. On one of my machines the length automatically goes to 0 when I drop the feed dogs. My other I manually set it to 0. Hope this helps. Julia
stitchesbyjulia I really appreciate your quick response Julia💓I am so excited about free motion stitching 😍Last night I was up until midnight. Like you said it can be addicting 🤪My other addiction crochet so I’m in trouble....but it’s good creative trouble. Peace and blessings ❤️
Was it Shel C's you tube channel you were watching? The llama is really cute
OMG! Yes that's her! I just edited my description to give her credit, now I'm off to watch her channel! I love her style! THANKS so much! Julia
Beautiful, as it always is. Tvs Julia.
Thanks so much Diane! Julia
Lllove it :) Thanks for the pattern !
Thanks for watching Donna. I hope you give it a try! Julia
Such a cute llama! Thanks very much for the printable, and this tutorial. I would caution you to NEVER use Pilot Frixion pens on the right side of any fabric project, as even though it "seems" to disappear when you iron it, the chemicals are still there, and can come back when it cools down and/or you wash it. Even the manufacturer warns that these markers were not made for fabric. Better to use a water-soluble marker made specifically for fabric, or even chalk/ceramic mechanical pencil (or regular pencil). ~Diana from Toronto
Yes- always test, test TEST before doing a project. I have never had any reappearing ink on the unbleached muslin or osnaburg fabric but I did testing first. It is recommended to test all "fabric specific" markers also. I once marked a darker fabric with a blue water-soluble fabric pen and I could not get it all out. Live and learn:) Thanks for watching. Julia
Llama mamas!!!! :)
Just found you. Where are you in MN.? I’m a MN gal too.
Hi Laurel, We live in Detroit Lakes, MN. I have a little shop in our weekend, summer flea market.
I will look for you. We have a lake home up your way.
