My Christmas sewing this week was this festive scrub top for my youngest daughter who is a doctor. I used a free Scrubs pattern by @dot.n.cross and adorable Christmas fabric from @spotlightstores I added a special touch with one of my mum's woven labels from her sewing days in the 90's. She used to make the most amazing clothes and toys for kids.A big shout out to all the health care workers who are on duty over the holidays. 🎄🎅🏻🎀🔔#aspoonfulofsugardesigns #aspoonfulsugar #scrubtop #christmasscrubs #christmassewing #holidaysewing #sewsewsew #sewistsofinstagram #sewfun #sew

Hello friends 👋There are a lot of new faces a

Hello friends 👋There are a lot of new faces around here so I wanted to introduce myself.• I’m Lisa the face behind A Spoonful of Sugar Designs. I live in sunny Perth, Western Australia with my husband.• We are empty nesters, with our two adult children living nearby. The plus side is that I now have a dedicated sewing studio and look forward to sharing it with you after I put a few more finishing touches on the space.• I love to sew in my free time and share patterns and tutorials on my blog, A Spoonful of Sugar. I have been blogging since 2008. I love trying new techniques, so my patterns cover a range of styles, techniques and themes.• I work full time in a busy role that is not related to sewing. As I have limited time to sew, I focus on quick and easy patterns for the time poor crafter. It is so satisfying to have a completed project at the end of a sewing session.• I trained as an Occupational Therapist and worked in this field for many years. Sewing and craft can have positive impacts on maintaining health and wellness and providing purposeful activity.• In my free time, if I am not sewing, you can find me reading or baking; or at the beach in summer.• I love to travel and have been fortunate to have lived in a number cities over the years including- Sydney, San Antonio, Houston, Stavanger and Paris. This photo was taken at Kinkaku-ji Temple, Kyoto on a trip in May 2023.Thank you for being here and following along with my sewing adventures! It is great to have you here.#aspoonfulofsugardesigns #aspoonfulsugar #introduction

{Tutorial Tuesday} Today I am re-sharing these Folded Hexagons I made for Christmas a few years ago. Once you have mastered the technique, they can be quickly and easily folded. Attach a button in the middle and add a hanging loop and they make unique fabric decorations to add to your tree or to use as a gift topper. It is a bit like fabric origami.You can find our blog post here: aspoonfulofsugardesigns.com/folded-hexagon-ornament/Note: This is not my technique. In the post there is a link to a Youtube Video showing the technique and a link to a handout with printed instructions.This is a fun way to use your fabric scraps and create a handmade Christmas.What are your favourite Christmas decorations to make?#aspoonfulofsugardesigns #aspoonfulsugar #foldedhexagonornament #christmasdiy #Holidaydiy #maker #makersgonnamake #handmadeChristmas #handmadeholidays #fabric #sustainablesewing #sewing
