Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday! I hope everyone is having a fantastic day!! In honor of World Kindness Day, we just wanted to take the time to thank everyone who takes the time to visit our lil ol’ blog each day. We appreciate you so much!

Ending the week with our Fan Friday! Today’s feature is an adorable baby set by DolceVera with our What a Gem by Allison Cole collection. Karen What a Gem is a boho-inspired collection of arrows, geometric shapes, and dreamy dream-catchers. Karen, creator behind DolceVera, was inspired to start her little shop after having her daughter – Vera. Wanting to dress her up in all the pretty things she decided to start sewing, with the help of her mom, and caught the sewing bug. Her hobby eventually turned into a business (name inspired by her daughter!), where she creates sweet baby shoes and other baby items – all handmade with passion & love.

One little set that caught our eye is this What a Gem baby set she sent to a customer. It features a pair of adorable soft sole baby shoes and a matching burp cloth. She chose a pink print from our What a Gem collection, and we adore how sweet it looks as baby attire. Those shoes!! 

We hope the lucky little girl enjoys her new shoes and blankie!! Thank you so much, Karen, for the fabric love. For more from Karen, be sure to check out her Etsy Shop and Instagram. And with that, hope you all have a fun weekend!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday!! I hope everyone is having a great one. Have you entered our Make a Wish FQ Bundle Giveaway? Be sure to enter here!

It’s time for this week’s Fan Friday! Nikki of Seam Allowance Fabrics used one of our free patterns, our Wallace the Whale pattern, to create an adorable toy whale for her son. She scaled our pattern to 60% because her son wanted a baby whale, and we think that Wallace looks just as sweet. She chose a green and white design for the main body, and a white for the tale and tummy. He son looks so happy with his new whale friend!

We are so happy you enjoyed our Wallace the Whale tutorial! Thank you for sharing him with us on Instagram. If you want to create your own Wallace the Whale, you can find the free pattern on our website! Have a fantastic weekend, everyone!

Hi everyone!

Happy Friday! And Happy Hallow’s Eve! What is everyone dressing up as this year?

Ending our week is our Fan Friday! Today we are featuring an adorable quilt made by TamTam Designs, with our Sea Life by Heather Rosas collection. TamTam Designs specializes in handmade, cozy baby blankets and plush play mats. More specifically, TamTam Designs’ blankets are puffed, so that they add extra comfort and support for little ones. It is such a unique technique and look, and can be created with lots of different colors and designs mixed together. One of their recent releases is a puff quilt with our Sea Life collection, and we adore how the green and blues look together! She added a cuddle border, and it is the perfect puff quilt for a little swimmer-in-training.

Thank you so much for the fabric love, TamTam Designs! And thank you for sharing your puff quilt with us on Instagram. We always love seeing the projects you tag us with! Have a fantastic and safe Halloween, everyone!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday!! I hope you all are having a fantastic end to the week :) We’re hosting an incredible Little Bird Giveaway this week, so be sure to enter here!

On to our Fan Friday! Today we are featuring a beautiful bag with our Opposite’s Attract by Jack!e McFee collection, sewn by fellow Canadian Reece Montgomery of Happy Okapi. She used Swoon Sewing Pattern’s Sandra Saddle Bag pattern, and chose to highlight the black & white ogee print. As an accent, she chose a black leather for the sides and closure. The large gold rings add a fun twist, as well as the interior turquoise pop. This is the perfect bag to take on a shopping trip or apple picking adventure – large enough to hold all your necessities, but comfortable to carry around. What a great bag!!

Thank you so much, Reece, for the fabric love. We are so thrilled you enjoyed working with our Opposite’s Attract by Jack!e McFee collection! You can find more from Reece on Instagram and on her blog. Have a great weekend, everyone!!
