KCW Popular Patterns

February 11, 2014

2014-kcw-winter-patterns

Today, I’m guest-posting over at the KCW blog. I made a pretty poor showing with only a few items (technically one item) during this esteemed week dedicated to sewing, but I had a great time perusing all of the winter KCW projects, and rounded up some popular patterns. Hope you can check it out!

I’ll try to be back tomorrow with some fun Valentine’s stuff…(it’s starting to get a teensy bit overwhelming behind the scenes)

    What a fun watercolor illustration! Love the texture. Now the question: digital or hand painted? Either way, very cute!

      Thanks, Lucinda! Digital all the way with this one – I’m really loving being able to try new things in Photoshop ๐Ÿ™‚

I just realized that this week marks 10 years sinc I just realized that this week marks 10 years since my first craft book Sewing Happiness was published. Iโ€™ve sewn literally thousands of garments and other textile projects in the last decade! I included a Sashiko primer in the book, and Iโ€™m delighted that this humble Japanese embroidery practice has stood the test of time - if anything, Iโ€™ve noticed that thereโ€™s an ever growing enthusiasm for hand stitching. Fun news: Iโ€™ll be teaching a virtual Sashiko workshop for @tatterbluelibrary on Thursday, April 30th at noon ET. Link in profile! Would love to see you there! ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™
