This is a super simple DIY Halloween Cauldron we made in 2021. This is one of my all-time favorite Halloween decorations! I made a very short video to show how it’s done. Enjoy!
Large Plastic Cauldron bought years ago, I think at Party City
Cake cover/bowl from Dollar Tree, holes closed with hot glue, and painted black. This one took some trial and error until I found something that fit correctly. You want whatever you use to hang just inside the cauldron so the mister is up high.
Happy Tuesday! This week I share some What We Do In the Shadow Quilt blocks designed by yours truly (coming soon to fandominstitches.com), a thrifted top with an easy-peasy alteration, and a birthday card for my niece.
In which I share all three of Abbie’s finished Raggedies! It was such a joy working on them. Abbie made it easy by having so much done already. The two small ones were more of a UFO project than a rescue, but still very fun! The lanky girl was my favorite to work on, a true restoration, and extra special to know I was working on Abbie’s own doll!
In which I share a new Halloween quilt top, the (almost!) finished pumpkin candle holders from BFF Retreat, a new-to-me thrifted blouse, and Abbie’s beautiful Raggedy kiddos in need of both finish & restoration!
In which I share the amazing #thriftcrawl haul from almost a week with the world’s best BFF, Jewells68!
Y’all, it was so great to have her here, and I’m sure you can tell how happy it makes me. I was so excited, I even forgot to mention how completely awesome the new downstairs ceiling looks!
We hit Savers, Goodwill (two regular stores & the Outlet), Habitat Restore, Texas Thrift, Austin Creative Reuse, and the Austin Antique Mall. We also had a great time at Ikea!
I haven’t shared anything aside from Talk To Me Tuesday since having surgery, and since it is October, my favorite month, I couldn’t resist doing a roundup of my own Halloween and fall patterns and tutorials!
I’ve included both Free Patterns & Retired shop patterns below. As a compromise for those who want access to my previously for sale patterns, I will share the pattern of your choice for a small donation to a local-to-you non-profit. More info below with the Retired Patterns.
To date, wonderful quilters have donated over $300 to a wide variety of charities, donated food, clothing, and hundreds of masks to those who need them. Your charitable efforts make my heart swell with happiness and I thank you from the bottom of my heart!
What are your favorite things to make for Halloween? I’d love to see! Let me know in comments or share over in the Sewhooked Facebook Group!You can also tag me on Instagram – @sewhookedjen.
I retired my online quilt pattern shop December 31, 2019 but I still receive quite a few requests for retired patterns.I decided the best way to address that was to have those interested in a retired pattern make a small donation to a local-to-you non-profit of your choice. Email your receipt and I’ll be happy to send the pattern. Please, only one pattern per receipt.
If you’re unsure if a pattern is FREE (I have loads of those, check out the main menu on sewhooked.com), or RETIRED, just drop me an email or comment and I’ll let you know.
A Little Haunted – Retired Pattern
Monster Madness – Retired Pattern Set
I Want My Mummy – Retired Pattern (supplemental pattern to Monster Madness)
In which I have a surprise, talk about some charitable projects, and share my 2019 finishes!
I’d also like to clarify that I am not retiring from the internet or from TTMT OR from Fandom in Stitches. I’ve had lots of questions about that since announcing the closing of the Sewhooked shop. The shop is closed, but I’m not going anywhere! Sewhooked.com will continue to exist, but instead of pursuing quilting as a business, I am now doing it just for charity and for fun! This doesn’t mean there will never be a new design from me, there just won’t be any new ones for sale. If you have any questions, please do ask!
