A Spoonful of Sugar Blog Tour {Part 5}

May 19, 2016 By A Spoonful of Sugar - 4 Comments

 A Spoonful of Sugar Blog Tour

 

The Blog Tour for my book, A Spoonful of Sugar, is wrapping up and I have been blown away by all the wonderful projects that everyone is sewing. As you will see, I have a very talented bunch of bloggers sharing their creations from A Spoonful of Sugar. I love how they have put their own creative spin on the projects.  Don’t forget to check out {part 1} ,{part 2},{part 3} and {part 4} – I am sure you will agree that the projects are all so inspiring! Here are our final four creators.

Stacy Olson from Stacy Olson Design

I was drawn to Stacy’s fresh, modern style over on instagram, and have been following her ever since! You can find Stacy at Stacy Olson Design where she shares her pretty projects.  Stacy has a magic way of combining fabrics and her blog is pure eye candy! Stacy is the designer of the Little Granny Mini Quilt Pattern which you can find in her Etsy store.

The Jewellery Wrap features three internal zippered pockets and is great for storing jewellery or other supplies when travelling. Head over to her blog for more photos and details.

She regularly contributes craft, sewing, and crochet projects to magazines such as Romantic Homes and Mollie Makes. Ayda’s first book, Cute Sewn Gifts for Babies is being released in September, 2016 (available for pre-order on Amazon)  and has loads of sweet projects included. Ayda sells a beautiful range of sweet hand crafted items in her Etsy store.
