Name That Mustache, Week 2!
Welcome to week two of Name That Mustache!
Before we move on to this week’s mustaches, I have our Week 1 WINNERS to announce! Each winner receives a free pdf copy of the mustache pattern he or she named, a free fat quarter and his or her name included in the new version of the pattern! If you were chosen as a winner, please email sewhooked@gmail.com with your mailing address so you can receive your prizes.
The names chosen for each mustache were simplified slightly so they would all fit a similar theme, but I think you’ll find the spirit of each name remains intact. I hope this gives you inspiration for this week’s mustaches!
Mustache #1 – “Wyatt” submitted by Michelle Thompson
Mustache #2 – “Victor” submitted by Beth T.
Mustache #3 – “Watson” submitted by Francesca
And now, on to Week 2 of Name That Mustache!!
Name That Mustache is a weekly challenge for my readers throughout the month of October.
The rules are simple:
- Share a name idea for one or more mustaches in each week’s post, making sure to include the mustache number.
- Comments must be made on Sewhooked during that week’s post. For example Week 2: Mustache names must be commented on this post.
- At the end of each week, I’ll pick my favorites and that will be the name of that mustache pattern!
- Please do not use copyrighted names. If you’re not sure, just let me know.
- The winners will receive a fat quarter, a free PDF copy of the mustache pattern he or she named AND I will include the winner as the namer on that pattern!
In November, Mustachio! will be updated and all of these fun mustaches will be available individually…for the first time ever! To celebrate and help a good cause, during the month of November, I will donate $1 to Movember for the sale of each Mustachio! pattern!
Enough talk, let’s get started…ready, set…GO!
Name these three mustaches in the comments for a chance to win:

Crafts of Halloween Past: Cauldron Pin Cushion
From the way back in 2008 Tutorial machine comes a craft I’ve been making for probably 10 or more years; the Cauldron Pin Cushion!
Anyplace you shop that has Halloween supplies will have 6, 8, or 12 packs of these wee cauldrons.
And, because we can never have enough toys in our sewing spaces, why not a cauldron pin cushion?
For some added magic, use wool instead of polyfil to help keep your needles sharp!
To make reliving the Crafts of Halloween Past even more fun for you, I’m offering a challenge with a prize!
Make any of my Halloween projects or patterns posted during the course of the month and post a photo to the Sewhooked flickr group tagged “halloween.”
At the end of the month, I’ll draw a winner to receive a free copy of Quiltmaker’s Quilts from 100 Blocks, which includes my pattern Corn Maze! Heck, I’ll even sign it, if you like!

Crafts of Halloweens Past: Easy Felt Bats
Here’s another fun craft from Halloweens Past!
What better way to decorate for Halloween than a flock of adorably spooky felt bats?
These guys are about as easy as it gets, needing only a few supplies and maybe half an hour of your time! We have lots of these cute little guys and have used them to decorate both inside and outside our front door.
The Easy Felt Bats Tutorial dates from October 2008. Enjoy!

How about a fun new Halloween-themed table runner pattern? This set is SUPER easy to piece and crazy versatile!
Just need the blocks? Use them for whatever you like!
Want a quick table runner? Piece the three blocks, add borders as shown in the pattern and you’re good to go!
I shared a Jack-O-Lantern block in my video yesterday and mentioned that the pattern was coming soon.
How’s this for soon?!
I originally designed this fun piece for a magazine. They passed on the pattern and it’s been collecting dust in my sewing room ever since.
Tis the season for Trick-or-Treat and what better way to decorate than a fun table runner?
Pattern includes two, full-color 8″ block patterns and instructions to create the table runner shown above.
Want a wall hanging instead? Simply piece the blocks vertically! The same instructions will apply to the wall hanging shown on the left as the original table runner. Slightly more fabric will be needed for the example on the right.
How about a longer table runner? Just add more blocks! I love a little versatility!
Don’t miss Name That Mustache every Monday in October!
See you tomorrow for another Halloween craft blast from the past! Woo, that’s some serious rhyming!

Name That Mustache, Week 1!
During the Great Sewhooked Revamp of 2013, many of my patterns have undergone updates and all around improvements.
Mustachio! is no exception.
A pattern set including 12 paper pieced mustaches, Mustachio! is one of my more ridiculous designs created for my own amusement.
Hey, if you can’t make stuff that entertains you, then what’s the point, right?!
During the revamp process, I decided these mustaches REALLY need names. I love to name the things I make and am not entirely sure how these guys ended up with monikers Mustache 1, Mustache 2, etc. Boo, that’s no fun!
In an effort to make them more interesting and fun, I came up with some tentative names but quickly realized I could really use some help!
That’s where you come in to help me NAME THAT MUSTACHE!
Name That Mustache is a weekly challenge for my readers throughout the month of October.
The rules are simple:
- Share a name idea for one or more mustaches in each week’s post, making sure to include the mustache number.
- Comments must be made on Sewhooked during that week’s post. For example Week 1: Mustache #2 names must be commented on this post.
- At the end of each week, I’ll pick my favorites and that will be the name of that mustache pattern!
- The winners will receive a fat quarter, a free PDF copy of the mustache pattern he or she named AND I will include the winner as the namer on that pattern!

Crafts of Halloween Past: TARDIS Treat Bag!
TARDIS Treat Bag Tutorial
I love October and everything the Halloween season has to offer and thought it would be fun to dust off some old favorite crafts and feature them during the course of this month.
Through Time and Space, or at least from October 2010, it’s the TARDIS Treat Bag Tutorial!
I made this fun bag for my daughter back in her freshman year of high school. This year? She’s a freshman in college and the proud owner of the Doctor Who Stitch Along quilt I completed in August of this year.
To make reliving the Crafts of Halloween Past even more fun for you, I’m offering a challenge with a prize!
Make any of my Halloween projects or patterns posted during the course of the month and post a photo to the Sewhooked flickr group tagged “halloween.”
At the end of the month, I’ll draw a winner to receive a free copy of Quiltmaker’s Quilts from 100 Blocks, which includes my pattern Corn Maze! Heck, I’ll even sign it, if you like! 😉

Black and Green
So, I’ve been doing SOME THINGS!
Something I’ve been sitting on for quite some time until it was released on Fandom In Stitches is The Black Gate. I took a bit of artistic licensed with the design, because as any Tolkien reader will know, you can’t actually see Mt. Doom from The Black Gate. But hey, I really wanted the mountain in my quilt, so there it is!
You can get the pattern for free as part of Not All Who Wander Are Lost, a Lord of the Rings Block of the Month hosted by Lilja over on Fandom In Stitches.
In other related Fandom In Stitches goodness, the #tfios Design Challenge is underway! If you’re a John Green reader and enjoy designing, please do check it out! We’d love to have you participate and share your designs inspired by The Fault in Our Stars, which I would venture to say is one of the best books I have ever read.
Challenge details are right here.
On a personal crafty note, I finished a project for myself that I’ve been wanting to tackle for a while. This spiffy little bag was made for a special reason and was created entirely out of fabric I had on hand, some of which were just scrappy bits and pieces. It fills a need for me that I’ve wanted to do something about for quite some time. I’ll talk about it more on next week’s TTMT!
Have you made any of my patterns? I’d love to see them! Share a link or better yet, add them to the Sewhooked flickr group!
