Free Pattern Friday – What We Do In The Shadows

Leave a reply

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!

Find these patterns and more by myself and other

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!

TTMT #743 – Far West Weekend

Leave a reply


Second time’s a charm! There was an issue with my first upload of this video so I’m trying again.

I’m exhausted and my hair is wet, but I’m here! Today I share a quick post-weekend trip video with fun goodies from Jeanie and a surprise find from my husband’s childhood home in Alpine, TX.

In which I share some small finishes and some fabric! My mail came after I initially recorded, so there’s a little time traveling, too.

TTMT #740 – Several Finishes

Leave a reply

In which I share three small-ish finishes. These were super fun, super fast projects, which was just what I needed this past week!

Iliad had surgery last week to remove a bladder stone. It’s been almost a week now and he’s doing much better. He has one more week of cone-wearing. The hardest part for both he and Ramses has been the separation. As soon as the sutures are out, they can be together again!
