Hi friends, It’s been a while that I drew something with my sewing machine. So I drew this sewing tray and finished as a scrappy version of my Little Friend zip pouch. I like how it came out although I kind of regret that I used gray thread instead of black and that scissor looks too big….well, I hope I will do better next time.  😀 Oh, and I am very happy that my Someday Graphic Tan fabric goes well with linen! I hope you agree with me. *wink* You can find my downloadable PDF pattern on my shop SewingIllustration.com.          Read More →

I have loved Sedef ‘s first book Quilt Petite and enjoyed making a project. When she told me that she was writing her second book, I couldn’t wait to put my hands on! What a joy waiting for something good! My first choice was the Armchair Caddy on the cover but I realized that I don’t have a right sized-couch that fits. darn it! So this table topper was my second choice and I am glad I changed my plan. I was inspired by the Scallop Trivet in the book. Sedef showed very clever instruction and it is quite a good size. I am usingRead More →

Hello friends, I would like to share various project ideas that you can create using motifs from my book DIARY IN STITCHES.   This is the first sewing machine cover and I changed the design for the book. Choose your preferred design and add your own twist. That’s the charm of my book, Mix and Match!     I wanted to show how you can use for hand embroidery instead of machine applique. I think it’s equally charming. If you are hand emboridery expert, your sewing case will be even more beautiful!   It’s just perfect size so I can bring to swimming pool orRead More →

Hello, August! Today is my day to talk about  Heidi Staples‘ latest fabric design Date Night collection for Riley Blake Designs. I love her pastel color combinations and each print works very well with other prints. As a fabric designer, this is the hardest part and I honestly spend the most time choosing colors than illustrations. I am awe of Heidi’s choice! When I received the fabrics, the first thing I had in mind was another big storage cases! Because they are so useful for everybody in my family! (oh, my husband would say, no thanks, though.)
