Charming Ornaments

November 26, 2009 By A Spoonful of Sugar - 49 Comments


Some scraps of Prints Charming fabric were put to good use on these felt ornaments. This year I am planning on wrapping gifts in shiny white paper, tied with red ribbons, and will attach a felt ornament for decoration. Simple but festive!

Edit: You can find the tutorial here.

    these are gorgeous – what a great idea to use them on presents with a plain paper wrap. I was hoping to wrap all my presents in brown paper with some raffia bows – but do you think I can find any brown paper!? Of course not because I really want it!

Adding a handmade label is one of my favourite way Adding a handmade label is one of my favourite ways to personalise a project — and these little fabric + felt labels are so quick and satisfying to make.For this Ribbon Pouch, I used the Liberty Gifts from the Garden collection, which has the sweetest fruit motifs. They make perfect tiny labels for pouches, bags, and gifts.Here’s how to make your own:Press a piece of double‑sided fusible web to the back of your fabric.Cut around your chosen motif.Peel off the paper backing.Press the motif onto wool felt.Trim the felt with scalloped scissors.Sew the label onto the front of your pouch.Such a simple detail, but it adds so much charm. Fabric kindly gifted by @regent_street_fabrics — thank you!If you’d like to sew the Ribbon Pouch (3 sizes), comment RIBBON and I’ll send the pattern link straight to you.#SewingInspiration #FabricLabels #DIYLabels #LibertyFabric #LibertyGiftsFromTheGarden
A lot can change in 10 years ❤️ It’s been fun look A lot can change in 10 years ❤️ It’s been fun looking back at where I was in 2016 and how far life has come since then. Swipe for a little trip down memory lane.Back in 2016, my priorities were firmly centred around family. I was working full‑time, sewing in the guest room, sharing tutorials on my blog, and slowly dipping my toes into selling a handful of patterns on Etsy. It was a busy, full season — and creativity was something I fitted in around everything else.  Fast forward to 2026… I’m now retired and living the creative life I once dreamed of. My kids have grown up and are living in their own homes nearby. My husband and I are free to travel, explore, and enjoy this stage of life. And I get to spend my days designing, sewing, and connecting with this beautiful community.Life looks different now — in the best possible way.Were you following me back then, or what has changed for you over the past 10 years? I’d love to hear your story too.Tagging the lovely makers of my quilt: @arabesquescissors @ministryoffabric @belloquacity @alittlepatchwork @sameliasmum coleandtaffy @quiltymamaof4 @shequiltsalot @downgrapevinelane @lizzierosesews @lovethatfabric @sew_mimi.k #2026isthenew2016 #10yeartransformation #sewingjourney #sewingcommunity #aspoonfulofsugardesigns

If you’ve ever wanted to add eyelets or grommets t If you’ve ever wanted to add eyelets or grommets to your sewing projects, here’s a quick look at how I install them using my DK93 snap press. It’s the same tool I use for snaps — and it makes installing eyelets beautifully quick and consistent.For this Ribbon Pouch, I used the Liberty Gifts from the Garden collection (printed on Lasenby cotton and released in January 2026). The colours and motifs pair so well with the little ribbon tie detail.Here’s how to install the eyelets:Punch out the four holes using a hole‑cutting die.Place the eyelet into the hole.Press it into place using the snap press.That’s it — easy peasy, and it gives the pouch such an elevated, professional finish. I love how clean and sturdy the result is.Fabric is Gifts from the Garden by Liberty - kindly provided by @regent_street_fabrics — thank you!If you’d like the Ribbon Pouch pattern (it comes in 3 sizes), comment RIBBON and I’ll send the link straight to you.Ribbon Pouch Sewing Pattern: available in our Pattern Store and Etsy shop ( links in profile).#SewingInspiration #SewingProjects #Eyelets #Grommets #SnapPress
The Twirling Treasures Hot Pad & Placemat Set show The Twirling Treasures Hot Pad & Placemat Set showcases one of my favourite FPP designs — a stunning kaleidoscope‑style block that always turns out beautifully. Kaleidoscope blocks are some of my most popular FPP patterns, and this set is such a fun way to use them.  This set includes six sizes, making it incredibly versatile: use them as hot pads, trivets, placemats, or simply as a way to add a pop of colour to your kitchen.For these samples, I went with a monochromatic scrap‑busting approach, pairing fabrics from the same colour family with a low‑volume background. The black‑and‑white striped binding adds such a crisp, modern finish. It’s a wonderful project for building your FPP confidence — and a fantastic way to use up those treasured scraps.The Twirling Treasures Hot Pad set is our Pattern of the Week. It is currently 25% off this week in our Pattern Store and Etsy Shop.If you’d like to sew your own set, comment TWIRL and I’ll send the pattern link straight to you.Happy sewing!
