TTMT #753 – This Quilt Top Bites!

Leave a reply

Y’all, I finished my quilt top! I’m so pleased with the scrappy lavender and cannot wait to get it quilted! All patterns can be found on fandominstitches.com. I also ramble entirely too much about house stuff, but quilt machine reassembly is imminent and I am EXCITED.

The fabric I show was purchased at Hip Stitch. Their clearance sale ends November 22. Not sponsored, just a VERY supportive best friend. 😉

TTMT #752 – A Gift & Other Things

Leave a reply

Today I share a little bit of progress on my What We Do in the Shadows quilt (all patterns on fandominstitches.com) and a stand mixer cover I made for my eldest kiddo (pattern from sewcanshe.com).

Our downstair flooring update is in progress. I’ll try to remember to share a before and after next week. I’m already in love! Our old floor was painted concrete. Anywhere we had a rug was especially beaten up!

I forgot to share in my video that I did manage to pull together a Halloween costume last week! My younger kid and I went to Savers and I dug through the formal dresses until I found a red dress that was a little too big. I added some accessories from Savers and a black jacket out of my own closet. All I was missing was vampire fangs! Oh, and I am absolutely wearing my red sneakers under that dress. 😉

Welcome back to Free Pattern Friday!

Big thanks to my Ko-Fi supporters for your support of this free content. ♥

In my last Talk to Me Tuesday video, I shared that I have designed new patterns inspired by the What We Do in the Shadows FX TV show. Movie-inspired patterns are in progress.

What could be more Halloween than a vampire-themed “reality” show?! (Please note that this is a mature-themed show and is not for kiddos!)

Below you’ll find my first three What We Do In The Shadows inspired patterns to paper piece, free for your personal and non-profit use. I plan to share three new patterns each Friday this month, with optional quilt finishing instructions before Halloween!

Free Pattern Friday – Runic Alphabet!

Leave a reply

Welcome back to a long overdue Free Pattern Friday!

My Ko-Fi supporters have been so generous in recent months, that you have paid for a year of sewhooked.com! If that’s not worth a new free pattern, I don’t know what is!

This week, I share my Runic Alphabet, designed way back in 2010. This pattern was available in my pattern shop for 9 years, retired in 2019. Now it’s yours for free for personal & non-profit use!

I will also be sharing this pattern over on Fandom in Stitches. What Fandoms can you think of that include runes? The Lord of the Rings immediately comes to mind, but there must be many, many more! Leave your thoughts in the comments and I’ll make sure to include that in my Fandom in Stitches post!
