Sew Thankful Sunday (or Tuesday), September 2018

{I love the idea of “paying it forward”. I think the world would be a better place if we could spread some joy and acknowledgement of good deeds done by others. I try to do that once a month for my Sew Thankful Sunday posts. I highlight some great content that I’ve found on other people’s blogs that I hope will inspire you and reward the originator by bringing traffic to their site. If your blog has been mentioned without your consent, please let me know and I will take you off the current list of featured bloggers.}

I’m running a little late this month, but here we are in September! This is often a time of fresh starts as the beginning of a new school year starts and we begin to organize our lives anew.  It’s also time to bust out the fall decorations and get ideas and inspiration for new projects and decorating ideas.  Enjoy!

1.  I can always count on Lindsey from Fort Worth Fabric Studio to come up with the perfect seasonal project.  She’s doing it again with this Boo to You free mystery sew along which will make a boo-tiful quilt measuring 37.5″ square.

 

2.  If you need some sewing ideas for anyone heading off to school, look no further than The Sewing Loft.  Heather has put together a list of 100 Back 2 School Projects that includes all ages from preschoolers to college kids!

 

3.  Jenny of Elefantz is sharing an Alphabet Pincushion Stitch Along that is just as charming as can be.  You’ll love all of the little details that she adds as you stitch the alphabet each week.

4.  If you have a jelly roll waiting to be used, then make sure to mark your calendar for September 15 – it’s National Sew A Jelly Roll Day!  Follow along with Project Jelly Roll and get inspired to spend the day creating something beautiful with your 2 1/2″ wide strips of fabric.

5.  I’m often making half-square triangles by the dozen (at least), so I love fast ways of making them.  This print-friendly Magic 8 Method chart created by Karen at Laugh Yourself Into Stitches is super handy to have around.  She also has a YouTube video showing you just how it’s done.

8.  Speaking of recipes, have you tried the new Cake Mix Recipe Cards?  If you’re not sure how to “cook” with them, check out Cake Mix 101 by Carrie Nelson for Moda Fabrics.  She has lots of tips and tricks to make your creation easy and delicious!

10.  I love using printables for quick and easy decorating.  This Pick Your Own Pumpkins free printable from Andrea at The Cottage Market is the perfect wall art to add to your home decor this Fall.

 

Thanks for stopping by today and for visiting all of the featured bloggers.  There is sew much to be thankful for and I love the inspiration that can be found in the online creative community.  Happy Fall!
