This week finds me in recovery mode after a very rough week. I’m still not 100% but I am getting there. Unrelated to that, my arm is fine, the red mark is from the allergic reaction I mentioned in my last video. I have had a LONG last few weeks.
This week I spill the beans about my allergic reaction and the project it inspired (skip to 2:47:03 if you’d rather not), share my next two HST blocks, alterations to a previously unworn made-by-me blouse, and making 20 cloth napkins from a thrifted cotton sheet!
From my allergy inspired project: Generation T by Megan Nicolay can be found used or you can use this link if you prefer a new one. I don’t receive anything if you use the link, just wanted to share!
A Western Screech Owl recently left us a little gift. In this video, I’ll piece back what’s left of the small plush elephant that I suspect was previously a Valentine (look for the scraps of pink heart) into something recognizeable using only what I had on hand. While I did use a tiny bit of machine sewing, this was mostly a repaired by hand sewing all the little rips and tears, as well as filling spots where fabric was missing.
This is not a tutorial, but I hope if you have a stuffed animal in need of repair, you might find it useful for inspiration. Questions? Please leave a comment!
Welcome back to my sewing room! This week I talk about a new quilt top, share a machine embroidered repair for stains on a thrifted top, share the nail products I’m using*, and share two small finishes for my eldest.
Hello, friends. In the last week, I’ve finished two me-made garments for my husband, practiced some nail art, and rearranged my sewing room. It sounds like a lot, but everything aside from the nail art was planned and ready to go, which is my favorite way to work.
Happy December, friends! I finished the stockings I’d mentioned previously. They are made entirely from my stash and came out even better than I imagined! I’ve also got one tiny ornament to share that will be heading out in the mail with a reindeer later this week.
This week, I’m excited to share that I finished our tree skirt! The final quilted and bound skirt is a hair over 51″, made using 4″ (4.5″ cut) squares. I LOVE how this project came out and am looking forward to working on some new stockings next!
Hello, friends! In this week’s show & tell video, I talk about my in-progress tree skirt, some mending and alterations, and some happy mail from Abbie!
My snowflakes came from a variety of sources, including OESD & Oma’s Place. Oma’s Place has been purchased by Juju’s. I didn’t have luck finding my exact snowflakes, but there are plenty of options available from various machine embroidery resources. I used designs that were between 2.5″ and 3.5″ for my 4″ (finished) squares.
Friends, I’m well rested and ready to sew again! In this video, I’m sharing the Folkwear Smock that I made the week of Halloween and a new to me toy, a Dritz Automatic Darner!
Hello, friends! I have a lot of little things done this week, some upgrades, some playing around with clothing, and some machine embroidery! I also share about a surprise trip coming up later this week.
