I am super excited that September aka National Sewing Month is finally here. This series is for stitchers of all levels, even those who are just getting started! My hope is that while reading along you see how others use basic tools to create simple projects. Who knows, you may just stumble across a new tool that inspires you to put the pedal to the metal!
This month on the blog you will hear from an AH-MAZ-ING line up of special guests that have such a wide range of creative style. I’m sure you will find a project to fall in love with!
Throughout the series, guests will share their favorite tool and an easy “how to” project using this tool. Here is this week’s line up:
9/4 Amy from Alliance for American Quilts
9/5 Becky from Patchwork Posse
9/6 Jenelle from Trashn2Tees
9/7 Liz from LizzieBcre8ive
Personally, I can not wait to see what these gals have in store for us! (I’ve even scheduled time each day to put my skills to the test and try these fun projects.) But in the meantime, I want to hear from you. What’s your stitching style?
Are you…
To help celebrate National Sewing Month and support your stitching passion, the series will end with a large giveaway worth over $1000 in prizes. That means 3 lucky readers will have a boat load of loot to help them “Reclaim” their creativity, one stitch at a time!
Stay tuned, as each Saturday I will reveal a new prize package along with the weeks special guest list.
I just finished working on a “monster” project. It was so big and very hard to make. It was a costume of the Boogie Man, from Nightmare Before Christmas. Made out of burlap and for a grown grandson to wear at Dragon Con in Atlanta, Ga., this weekend. Phew! It was so itchy, but my serger and brother sewing machine did a great job. We even painted it all over with glow in the dark paint.
I made a picture of the head, but was too tired to get the body photographed. Hopefully I’ll get that from grandson.
This month I have to make my third mermaid tail for granddaughter. I need to upload the video, of the one from last year, to my Flickr so you can view it. I’ll see if I know how, it’s in my phone. Hum …
Love sewing, just not too much burlap. (or silk)
Happy national sewing month!

Debbie,
That sounds like SO much fun! I was just asked to work up a few “out there” Halloween costumes and am planning the process now. Will you share a few photos with me? I would love to see it but I do not think I am on your flickr feed.

I’m a terrible stitcher. I only sew when I seriously have to. Like making small repairs, etc.
My sewing is very ugly and I would LOVE to learn how to do this!
There are so many things that I would like make but I just cannot get the grip on sewing.
So, here I am….eager to learn!
I have been waiting for this series. SO excited! I know it is going to be awesome. I fall somewhere between a dabbler and sew- like- a- crazy- person- and- get- it- done- when- I- have- time.
