Crafty Little Things to Sew – Giveaway and Blog Hop (CLOSED)

October 18, 2017 Beth – Sew DIY
Crafty Little Things to Sew – Giveaway and Blog Hop | Sew DIY

About three years ago, I received an email from Caroline Fairbanks-Critchfield of the bog Sew Can She asking me to contribute a small sewing project to a book she was working on. I was so honored to be asked to contribute. After waiting literally for years, today I’m thrilled to announce that the book, Crafty Little Things to Sew, is now available for sale. The book is absolutely gorgeous and the projects in it are really fun and useful. So many of them would make great holiday gifts too. It’s not too early to start planning holiday sewing, right? Plus, all the projects use scraps and fat quarters so they’re great stash busters too!

My project is the Divide & Conquer Drawstring Bag (shown above and page 9 in the book). It’s a circle bottom bag with a divider in the middle and a clear vinyl zippered pocket on the front. When I’m away from my sewing machine, I entertain myself with a small travel-friendly knitting project, like socks or a hat and this bag is the perfect size. It keeps everything organized, prevents the project from getting tangled or mixed up with other things in my bag. I'm really excited that I can finally share this project with you.

The photos in this book are beautiful and there are so many projects that I'd love to make. The instructions are really in-depth and I think there are a lot of techniques you can learn from these projects. Caroline very kindly sent me two copies of the book which means that I get to give one away to one of you! To enter is comment below and tell me your favorite small thing to sew (or just tell me your favorite sewing tool or your favorite color). Make sure you leave your email address or some way to contact in case you’re the lucky winner. This is open world wide and comments will be closed in one week, at midnight Pacific time, Tuesday, October 24, 2017. If you want more chances to win a copy, visit the other blogs in the links below to enter their giveaways. Good luck and happy sewing!

P.S. If you don't luck out, you can buy the book on Amazon right here (affiliate link).

Did you see the photos of snow in LA yesterday? ❄️😱 I'm not acclimated to this kind of weather and it doesn't help that I kon-mari'd most of my winter clothes a few years ago. 🤣 I'll be semi-patiently waiting for spring to arrive and looking forward to wearing all of the seasonally inappropriate things I've been making lately. ✂️⠀
One garment at the top of the list is this #judithjumpsuit hack. It's been sadly hanging in the closet just waiting for its debut. For more info on this jumpsuit, I have a full post over on the blog. ⠀

Have you seen this AHMAZING hack of the #nitawrapskirt by @mariefleurine ? 💙🌈😍 It's seriously inspiring and reminded me of how much potential this pattern has. ✨ This pattern is available in my shop in sizes 00-22 (hips 33-50" / 84-127 cm). Link in profile to the shop and make sure to go read @mariefleurine 's blog post for all the details on how she hacked the pattern. ✂️ .

Today on the blog, I’m very pleased to be sharing my #calyerpants designed by @frenchnavynow_ ✨💙😍 I love that these pants are super comfy but still look really sophisticated. I did not make a muslin but my standard adjustments worked perfectly. 👊🙌 Now I just need some slightly warmer weather so that I can start wearing these every. single. day.⁣ ⠀
✂️⠀
Head over to the blog to read all the details, including my #sewingtall modifications. ⁣⠀

Fabric is linen/viscose slub in navy from @blackbirdfabrics⁣ I would definitely use this fabric again. It's perfect for trousers patterns that need some drape. 🌈⠀

DIY Pleated Pants – Review of the Calyer Pants pattern by French Navy
DIY Pleated Pants – Review of the Calyer Pants pattern by French Navy
about 4 days ago

Most of the year, trousers or jeans are part of my everyday wardrobe. My favorite style of trousers are a loose fit with a tapered leg. Two of my favorite me-made versions are the Alexandria Trousers and the Arenite Pants. I have worn both of these patterns a ton. So when I saw the Calyer Pants, I knew immediately that they’d be a good fit for me.
