Sew Along Fun (Part 2)

August 2, 2016 By A Spoonful of Sugar - 2 Comments

Boutique Baby Bibs

The Instagram Sew Along for my book, A Spoonful of Sugar is wrapping up in a few weeks. It has been wonderful to see all the amazing projects that are being made and shared over on Instagram. It is such a thrill to see how everyone has made the project their own by their choice of materials and special finishing touches/embellishments. Head over to Instagram to see what everyone is making. Be sure to follow the #aspoonfulofsugarsal hashtag.

For readers who are not on Instagram, I wanted to share some of the fantastic work that has been made over the past month. Our lovely guest judge, Amy Sinibaldi, from Nana Company, has been doing a fantastic job in selecting our winners each round – their have been so many worthy participants. Check out our previous post, Sew Along Fun, to see the winners of Round 1 and 2. Our winners have won some fantastic bundles of fabric and supplies curated by Alisha from Ministry of Fabric.

The winner of Round 3 was Jen from @lilmaisiedaisy for her Pretty Panda Pouch.  She also made some sweet Kitty pouches as well.

Round 3

Our Round 4 winner was Gwawr from @patchwork_and_me for her beautiful Sewing Portfolio. Gwawr cleverly added an extra insert to provide additonal storage.

There’s something so lovely about putting together There’s something so lovely about putting together a bright, happy self‑care gift… especially when it’s handmade.  I stitched a colourful set using Ruby Star Society fabrics - a Relaxation Eye Pillow and a Heavenly Heatpack - and styled them into a complete gift bundle.To make it feel extra special, I lined a small bamboo tray with soft tissue, added the two calming makes, tied them with a pink ribbon, and tucked in a few thoughtful extras: a candle, a box of speciality tea, and a tiny plant. It’s simple, cheerful, and such a beautiful way to show someone you care.Both projects are scrap‑friendly, beginner‑friendly, and quick to sew - perfect for weekend making or last‑minute gifting.If you’d like to sew your own self‑care set, comment SELFCARE and I’ll send you the link to the bundle. You’ll also save 25% on these two gift‑ready patterns when you buy the bundle.#selfcaresewing #beginnersewingproject #scrapfriendysewing #handmadegiftideas #aspoonfulofsugardesigns

Thank you so much for the wonderful reception to t Thank you so much for the wonderful reception to the Quadra Pouch launch last week — I’m thrilled you’re loving this pattern as much as I do.Today I’m sharing a brand new Tilda version, stitched in the large size and made entirely from blenders. I used four Bellflower prints from the Wallflower range for the exterior, and four Stella prints from the Songbird collection for the lining — eight fabrics in total, making it delightfully scrappy.I love how easily Tilda collections mix and match, and how each corner of the pouch showcases a different print. The clever panel construction gives the pouch a neat flat base without boxed corners, and the result is both practical and beautifully structured.If you’d like to sew your own, the Quadra Pouch pattern is available in both my Pattern Store and Etsy Shop.Comment QUADRA and I’ll send the link straight to you.Pattern Details: Quadra Pouch (3 Sizes) - available in our Pattern Store and Etsy ShopFabric: Bellflower blenders and Stella blenders from Tilda, with thanks to @tilda_australia#tildafabrics #quadrapouch #sewingproject #scrapfriendlysewing #pouchpattern
