  3. Yes! I have been filled with the spirit of the Sewing Month! I'm supposed to be taking it easy at home recovering from our wedding last week, but instead I cleaned up my sewing room (which was migrated to the basement while I was getting ready for the wedding and making projects), and started making a baby quilt for a coworker's little girl =D It feels so good to be sewing at a leisurely pace again after all the crammed sewing I did in the last little while for the wedding! Thanks for the giveaway, really love the fabrics!!

  4. Every month is sewing month in my house! Well when I can fit it in around 2 kids. I've been sewing some kids clothes lately but I would love to win this nature walk giveaway as I'm going to use your nature walk collection to create the soft furnishings and accessories for the nursery.

  6. No wonder I have been itching to sew! I started to piece together a quilt yesterday night for my daughter. I can't wait for the cooler weather.. that's when I really get into it. Nothing like hand sewing a blanket on a cold night.

  7. I have just begun my sewing adventures. :) I have made two blankets this month. Simple ones just to practice straight lines. My sewing machine (singer 403a) was given to me by my granny and I am thankful for the chance to learn something new.

  33. Ugh! It's sewing month and I have lost my motivation, so no sewing yet for me. :-/ It doesn't help that we have been crazy busy lately!

    ReplyDelete
  34. I've actually started quilting classes this month and hopefully will be off and running once all the classes are done. So far, so good. Last week we did a flying geese block that had 8 in one block with two in each direction. I was extremely happy since I'd never made those in my life and every single one of mine had perfect points. :)

    Next week I need to work on baby stuff too. Our 2nd grandchild was born and he needs some Grandma goodies. Of course his big sister needs to have some too so I have things to do for sure.

    This weekend I'm going to finish a cotton lawn nightgown my grandmother requested. She can't find in the stores that is exactly how she likes (:

  40. The Floor Poof is wonderful!

    I've been inspired by many things and haven't had much of a chance to sew in the last few days. I am going to be making a rather large bag tomorrow for a friend for her birthday! She's a knitter, so a nice big bag will be a welcome. Also making a smaller zipper bag to fill with whatever.

  53. I have been bit by the fabric bug this month! I usually keep my sewing very basic (mostly baby blankets, burp clothes, etc.) but last week i decided my little girl needed some clothes! so, i made a cute little pinafore (wish i could figure out how to post a picture) with the free as a bird fabric. it turned out amazing! the fabric is gorgeous and i have gotten so many compliments on it!

    ReplyDelete
  54. I just made a nursing cover for myself and my new niece too. I am working on making my son some new pillows for his crib now that he is old enough to have little pillows and stuffed friends. I would use the fabric for his new pillows...anyone know of a pillow form made of organic cotton or wool?

  56. I wish I had the time to do all the sewing I want this September! This month I've finished my second Colette Violet blouse, but I want to start on some birthday presents for a cousin (who's birthday is right before Halloween). It's also never too early for holiday sewing! I'm already planning presents and decorations...now when will I have all the free time to do it?
