Sew Happy

Sew Happy All things sewing (and knitting and maybe a little crocheting too) 🙃. I have been sewing for many years. Not only do I create new, I do alterations and mending.

Now in my retirement years, I have time to spend more time doing what I love.

A weekend of Free Motion practicing and it is certainly paying off. Another block test of my appliqué flowers which I am doing on each block of a quilt I am making for myself. As you can see from the first block, I am most definitely improving and now feel ready to begin with the actual blocks for my quilt ….
The green block was my first.

I am just loving this free motion work .. it tickles every creative cell in my body… 🙃 Watch this space as I build this quilt

Getting my free motion embroidery/quilting practice in. Made this block of Appliqué flowers (thank you Heather Hopkins for the pattern) finished off with free motion detail in black. Free motion embroidery or quilting on my Bernina is not easy - practice practice practice! Am getting used to using my BSR (stitch regulator) and the feel of the machine when doing free motion.
This is far from perfect, but I think it’s perfectly imperfect ! Even the back looks ok…

For the last 3 Saturdays I have had the pleasure of teaching young Hannah to sew. She is such a keen learner and definitely has the gift of creativity for sewing. She did so well on her first lesson I decided to help her make a dress for herself. As a first big project I think she did a great job. Well done Hannah I am looking forward to seeing your progress.

Another new embroidery lesson under the belt. Today we learned to stay stitch a design and then to embroider on hand towels. Love learning new skills and gaining knowledge on how different stabilizers can be used for a perfect outcome.

Just a little chuffed with myself…. Embroidered this name for this quilt. It may seem simple but I had to size the lettering down and get it to fit the correct hoop … and, well it wasn’t all that difficult in the end. 😊😊😊.

On Thursday last week I spent the morning with a bunch of ladies from the Quilting group. We made thread catchers/pin cushions for ourselves - what fun and I desperately needed these. Made two of them and then a third (for my serger) over the weekend. Definitely beats having threads all over the floor. 🙃😉.

Another very happy client - prom dress altered to fit better at the bodice and across the back. Dress also hemmed as it was too long - we kept the train. She looked stunning.

Another Prom dress alteration. This dress needed hemming and then side seam adjustments for the bodice to fit perfectly. Gracyn look so beautiful and the dress fitted like a glove !
