Show and Tell!

One thing I really enjoy about my website is that I have the feature to share some creations done by my customers in the "Show and Tell" section. It's great to see the hard work put into the products coming from my site! So today I wanted to share with you some of the fabulous creations done by my SewBaby customers!

Terrific Teepees by Penny!
Here is a photo sent in by Penny who made these fun teepees for her great nephews and great nieces, and grandchildren! It sure does look like they are enjoying them! Great job making the patterns and picking out some fun prints to use! This pattern is great for playtime, any kid would enjoy it! Check out the pattern here!

Petal Jacket by Rika


















Rika writes: "Thank you so much for the great pattern. Easy, cute, and practical." What a great and simple pattern! It looks like the perfect jacket for these chilly fall days. The cheetah print is adorable, keep up the great work Rika! Find the pattern for the Petal Jacket E-Pattern here.

Dresses by Rose  



 Rose submitted a number of great dress designs! Rose was very creative when making this stripework jumper dress. She wrote: "This pink fabric is made from leftover material from my mothers dress worn on my wedding day in 1969. The floral fabric is upholstery fabric!!" What a creative way to make this pattern!






















She also tried out some other patterns including the Reversible Sundress and the Petal Dress patterns! She did a great job and I love the choice of fabrics for these, especially the watermelon petal dress - What a cute idea! Happy sewing, Rose!

We are very proud of her for wanting to help make the world a better place, and for being fearless in doing so, but it will be a looooong time for Mama and Papa back home. Not knowing anything about Madagascar, the first step in figuring out what to pack was to figure out the weather and the cultural norms.  Madagascar is a very large island off the southeastern coast of Africa.  It's very, very unique in it's ecosystem, and has many species that are not found anywhere else in the world- most famously lemurs. Right now, it is experiencing it's rainy season, as you can see by t...

Rose Colored Glasses and More

So, 2019 was a bummer of a year for me.  I developed a heart condition called atrial fibrillation (or Afib for short) and spent the last half of the year in and out of the ER and doctor's offices trying to control it.  If you've never heard of it, it's when your heart rate suddenly goes 100 miles an hour.  It's very unpredictable, scary, uncomfortable and exhausting.  So, needless to say, I didn't get a ton of sewing done the last half of the year.   Rubes® cartoon used with permission © Leigh Rubin www.RubesCartoons.com In August, I was put on a medication that had scary side effects, didn't work, and led to horrendous insomnia.  I felt like a walking zombie.   But after 3 months of that, in November, I had a procedure called a cardiac ablation which froze the heart cells that were causing the problem.  Thank God for modern technology- this procedure has only been available in the last 20 years. I'm 3 months post procedur...
