blog / Instagram / shop / youtube Hello Reader, Thank you for subscribing and reading the Sunday Stitch; we appreciate your support! Since it's "Aug"tober, it's time to make the Witch Hats! Stitch up an only slightly spooky patchwork quilted witch’s hat with our Spellbound Witch Hat Sewing Pattern! We've recently received a HUGE restock of the printed patterns!
PATTERN OF THE MONTH! The Arctic Sparkler pattern is our August pattern of the month! It features two different sizes and so many fun color combination ideas! Grab it for 30% off this month only!
FROM THE ARCHIVES SEWING Years ago, I made myself a drawstring travel laundry bag, and it’s now one of my favorite travel necessities. My original sewing tutorial included five different bag sizes but did not include fat quarter-friendly directions. This article will teach you how to make a laundry bag using only fat quarters of fabric!
CRAFTS & HOLIDAY I know we are getting close to Halloween, but I love sewing holiday projects “in season” and couldn’t resist sharing this fun quilted Halloween table runner I created. It is made with some blocks from my Spooky Shelfie Quilt pattern. If you’d like to make one, I’m happy to share a printable PDF with the table runner block setting instructions.
QUILTS Get ready to blend comfort, creativity, and a sprinkle of Disney magic with this fun, quilt-as-you-go Mickey Mouse silhouette sweatshirt! Get the look of an upcycled, quilted clothing item without cutting up an antique quilt!
