    Instant Pot Cover 4: Free Pattern + Recipe

    January 30, 2019 /

    Free Instant Pot Cover Pattern In the final installment of our Instant Pot Cover blog hop, Stephanie Kendron of Modern Sewciety wrapped it up with a perfectly modern quilted Instant Pot cover. Stephanie used our Free Instant Pot Cover Pattern to make her cover – along with orphan blocks, Cotton + Steel Thread by Sulky®, Sulky Fuse ‘n Stitch™, and her Janome Skyline S9. Check out her blog post here. Instant Pot Soup Recipe To round out National Soup Month, Stephanie calls this vegetable soup recipe “Magic”, and from the looks of it, we think she may be right!

  • Embroidered Pillow: January Pillow of the Month

    January 27, 2019 /

    Embroidered Pillow DIY Pillow of the Month: January Edition   For the next twelve months of 2019, we will feature a DIY Pillow of the Month with a a 14” square pillow form that can be slipped off and easily stored. January’s Embroidered Pillow keeps winter in mind with embroidered snowflakes and a touch of metallic sparkle. Not only is it exciting to regularly change decorating themes, but reusing the same pillow form will save money. January finds winter well under way and, even in those warmer states, it is always fun to think of snowflakes!

  • Remembering Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. + Free Design

    January 21, 2019 /

    MLK Day: Because Hate is Too Great a Burden to Bear Today is a day to reflect and remember with a free embroidery design including a quote from the great Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. One of the many benefits of growing up in North Georgia is the ability to experience history, instead of just reading about it. As I think about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. today, I am able to not just remember his sermons, inspiring quotes and speeches, but I can add my own experiences at the King Center and at Dr. King’s gravesite. I can remember seeing his childhood home and having lunch at the restaurant…

    Instant Pot Cover Blog Hop + Soup Recipes for National Soup Month If you’re addicted to your Instant Post like I am, you’ll love having a cover for it so it can stay on your counter at all times looking pretty. I spend more hours than I care to admit looking up recipes, trying new things, and chatting in the Instant Pot Facebook Community Group. I used to put my pot away after each use, in the cabinet with all my other kitchen gadgets and appliances (yes, I am a kitchen gadget junkie. I should probably go to kitchen gadget rehab), but I found myself using it so much that…

    Snowflake Wreath with Freestanding Lace Designs

    January 9, 2019 /

    Snowflake Wreath by Pamela Cox Create a wintry snowflake wreath using freestanding lace designs and winter white thread. A snowflake wreath fits my home-decor bill quite nicely. I live in New England and the next few months promise to bring continual snowy-weather.  It seems only fitting that snowflakes take center stage on my Sulky-challenge wreath. My real inspiration for the snowflake wreath began after searching several of my favorite embroidery websites looking for possible designs.  The perfect set for the snowflake wreath, “Light and Lacy Snowflakes” was found on Embroidery Library. www.emblibrary.com There were two collections of the FSL snowflake designs, each available in three sizes.  Since they say that…

    DIY Wreaths to Decorate with after the Holidays

    DIY Wreath Challenge with Sulky Pack up those Christmas trees and put up a cheery DIY winter wreath to fill the holiday-season void! As the holiday decor is put away, the house tends to feel a bit empty. We want to inspire you with some great winter decor that works in place of all those Santas, snowmen and red and green you might have had up for the past month (or more). So we created a Sulky DIY Wreath Challenge and asked some of our favorite designers to create different wreaths to show us how they decorate after the holidays. A set of simple guidelines guided the challenge. DIY Wreath…

    Quick Tips to Organize your Sewing Space After the whirlwind of the holidays, my sewing studio looks like a tornado went through it. Every year at this time, I spend a couple of days organizing and reevaluating my projects, my stash, and my systems. Although I do tend to give away some fabric, re-prioritize some projects, and change a few things – there are some basics that just really work so they stay. Here is my list of tried and true tips to keep your sewing space organized: Fabric Folding – I fold my fabric in a very specific way. Here is the full tutorial with all the explanation. Trust…

    Kid Sewing Projects for Winter Break It’s the dark side of Christmas that most people don’t talk about too often. You will occasionally hear a reference in a Christmas song (“It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, every where you go….and moms and dads can’t wait for school to start again…”). For the next two weeks, our kids will be home with no homework and no after school activities to keep them company. I know, they just got a bunch of new stuff to play with from Santa, but if your kids are like mine, they will, inevitably get bored. Have no fear! Here are some great kid sewing…

    Machine Embroidery on Sequin Fabric + A Super Easy Sequin Skirt Tutorial Sequin fabric is all the rage! It’s seen on everything from jackets to dresses to shoes. There’s no better fabric for a New Year’s Eve bash, and we’ve accepted the challenge to combine sequin fabric with machine embroidery for a party-worthy look for any occasion.
