    Breast Cancer Quilt Free Pattern for Patients & Survivors

    Breast Cancer Quilt to Create & Donate for patients & survivors This free breast cancer quilt pattern is easy to sew and features pink ribbon embroidery designs. Make the breast cancer quilt for a friend or loved one, or donate it to a charity accepting quilts for patients. Four years ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I am in remission (yay!) but the fear of recurrence is real. One in eight women are diagnosed with breast cancer each year. I haven’t met anyone who hasn’t been touched by cancer, specifically breast cancer, and while a lot of strides have been made in treatment and recovery, the cure is still…

    2019 Sewing for Charity with Sulky Sulky of America is proud to launch a sewing for charity effort for 2019: Pillowcases for People in Need The gift of a pillowcase, our 2019 sewing for charity effort, is a small gesture, but one that comforts people of all walks of life.

Many charities accept handmade pillowcases and are built around distributing them to those in need.

  • A Great Bag Tutorial For Breast Cancer Awareness Month

    October 11, 2016 /

    In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I decided to make a bag to hold my bras and undies when I travel. If you have been reading my blog for a while, then you may remember that one of my best friends is a breast cancer survivor. She fought like a girl and after a long journey through chemo, radiation, several surgeries and recovery, I am happy to report she is cancer free. Ladies, please, get your mammogram. It’s uncomfortable, I know, but after walking through this journey with my friend, I can say with confidence that a squish of your girls is a much better option. Okay, I am off…

    When we think about Breast Cancer, we naturally think about the 1 in 8 women that will be diagnosed with this disease, but did you know that approximately 2,190 men are diagnosed with breast cancer every year? Not only that, men with breast cancer have a higher mortality rate than women because they are less likely to suspect breast cancer and therefore get diagnosed much later. There are a lot of myths about breast cancer, you can read about them on the National Breast Cancer Foundation website here. This week, I decided to make a little pink zipper bag. This is a great little bag for all kinds of things from sewing supplies to…

    I went and got my mammogram a few weeks ago. I have to admit, they are not fun but they aren’t the end of the world either. The nurse was really sweet, they got me in and out pretty quickly. Truthfully, I’d rather get a mammogram than go for a 5K run :). The results came back normal, which is great. Have you gotten your mammogram done? One of the things National Breast Cancer Foundation does is help women get their mammograms through a National Mammography Program. They partner with medical facilities across the country to provide free mammograms and diagnostic breast care services to underserved women through the NBCF…

    As promised, here is the first of several tutorials to go with our Pink Ribbon Thread Sets that 10% of the proceeds will go to National Breast Cancer Foundation. This is a fun easy tote bag filled with thoughtful things for someone who is going through Chemotherapy treatments. If you happen to be unfamiliar with chemo, it generally works like this. The person with cancer has to go to a room full of chairs that are all equipped with IV’s. They get hooked up to an IV and their particular “cocktail” of drugs is given through the IV. This usually takes several hours and the person may have to go…
