Top Tutorials of 2017

January 3, 2018 By A Spoonful of Sugar - Leave a Comment

Top sewing tutorials from A Spoonful of Sugar 2017

As a new year begins, it is a great opportunity to reflect on the year that has ended and what we have accomplished during 2017. One of the things I love most about blogging, is looking back over all of our creative projects over the past 10 years. It is a lovely record of how our skills, techniques, and style has evolved over time. We are so lucky to have so many wonderful readers – thanks for inspiring us to keep creating and sharing our creative journey. We really appreciate the supportive community here, and over on instagram and facebook. Although blogging is only our hobby, we have busy careers and family life, it always amazes me how much we manage to accomplish creatively throughout the year.

2017 was a big year for us as a family  – we celebrated a university graduation, an engagement, acceptance into medical school, and new career opportunities. We also had a lovely holiday to South Korea and Singapore. 2018 is shaping up to be equally busy – just the way we like it! We have many plans/goals for A Spoonful of Sugar and have a number of new projects planned.

In addition to releasing a number of new pdf patterns in our Etsy and Craftsy store, we also shared many free tutorials and projects to inspire you to get creative. Here is a round-up of our top 10 tutorials for 2017. Hope you find something here to inspire you during some new year sewing time! (Click on the photo or link under each photo to be taken to the original post with all the project details). We hope you continue to stop by regularly to see the new projects we will be sharing with you in 2018.
