With the gifting season upon us and time running out, I thought I'd offer another quick, satisfying and practical idea for a sewing related gift. These egg cup pincushions are terribly cute and only need a tiny scrap of fabric and a handful of stuffing, providing you have an underused egg cup hiding in your cupboard corners.
After a few attempts at various gift ideas I've had brewing in my head, I decided these penny washer pattern weights were the winner. They were such good fun to make and I'm really excited to share this project with you. Apart from being must-have items on your cutting table, these pattern weights would make an excellent gift for your sewing buddies! I mean, just look at this lovely stack of them... and you don't even have to be a sewist yourself to make them - just cut and stick!
Ah, sweet denial!!! I tried to dismiss the idea of home sewn fabric masks for as long as possible, but it is increasingly looking like they would be in fact much better than nothing. I made a pattern the other day that seemed to be the best fit to my face and graded it up and down a few sizes to fit the whole family.
Scrub hats!!! Anyone making them? Just drafted a pattern as I needed to make one for a doctor friend and, as usual, since I did the work and digitised the pattern, I also took photos of the process and I'm sharing it all here. Feel free to share the link to this blog anywhere you like for people to find it, but please don't share/post the pattern file itself.
It's a simple drawstring bag, but I'm going to show you in detail the way I do it. I like to enclose each raw edge of a seam allowance for durability. No overlocker/serger needed, just a straight stitch on the sewing machine and an iron for pressing.

This project is the fabric lovers' alternative to egg painting this Easter and what's more, no precious eggs were harmed during the process!
