National Thread the Needle Day

Though my sewing skills are pretty remedial, I have a bit of an obsession with fabric (and paper) and I like being able to choose the right print for the right project. No matter how simple it is. I love that if I can’t find what I’m looking for, I can easily make a design and have it printed on the fabric of my choice.

Some of the easier sewing projects I’ve had success with are pillow covers and curtains. Basically, anything that requires sewing in a straight line. Though pillow covers can get tricky if a zipper is needed.

Here are a few mock-ups of patterns from my collection, “Unleashed, Rain or Shine” which was completed this year. Click on the linked photos to see more!

“Just a Sprinkle”, available in small, medium, and large scale on Spoonflower.

Spoonflower offers a minky fabric perfect for a cozy throw. Or any other cozy items you might want to make.

This print is called “Eye on the Ball” and is available in large and small scale. It was a fun design to make and ended up being completely different from the original idea.

A mock-up of a lumbar pillow showing “Explore!”, a somewhat of a Memphis design-inspired pattern.

Of course, if sewing isn’t exactly in your wheelhouse Spoonflower gives you the option of being able to order home decor items with your choice of designs on them. But why not dust off that sewing machine in honor of National Thread the Needle Day and have some fun?

Unleashed, Rain or Shine is now available on Spoonflower

Happy sewing! If by chance you order from my shop, I would really love for you to show me what you’ve made. Feel free to tag me on Instagram @twistnpout13 or leave a link in the comments here.
