Whether we want them or not, the New Year will bring new challenges;
whether we seize them or not, the New Year will bring new opportunities.

When I woke up this morning I found out that there were almost 400 Pattern download registrations!
I could notice the power of “FREE”. 😉
I am so excited to see all your makes and 2017 will be a new chapter for Sewing Illustration.
Thank you so much for joining my Pincushion SewAlong and share your talent with us.
Tonight will be sleepless, my friend.
Did you know that I used dark purple thread?
Try variety colors instead of focusing on black or brown thread only. That’s my secret tip for you. 😉
I cut fabrics 3.5inch square and sew with 1/4″ seam allowance. Finished pincushion size is 3″ suqare.
And you may already knew, I used;
Stem-A-Seam 2 fusible web by Warm Company.
Liberty fabrics from Ava and Neve
Linen mix fabric from JoAnn Fabric store
Aurifil 2000, Aurifil 1240, both 50-weight
Cotton ribbons from Dailylike Canada
Don’t forget to post your pincushions with hashtag #pincushion2017SAL and #SewIllustrated.
Again, Happy New Year, my friend!
Minki
Love these new designs for 2017 Minki and the purple thread looks wonderful – might have to try it! You are so kind to share with us your humble admirers too. So looking forward to this new SAL! A most happy 2017 to you and your family! xx
Ann, your kind words are truly appreciated. It makes me want to create better and share more. I treasure your kindness.
Thank you for offering your patterns and explanations. I love your style. I made an Advent Calendar inspired by your designs and would love to show it to you, how can I do that ? Maybe I should wake my blog up again.
My Advent Calendar is one of my favorite makes and I am so happy that it inspired you. We will have homemade Christmas every year!!
Thank you so so much for your sweet comment.
Thanks so much for the adorable patterns!
Hi Susie,
I am so glad that I decided to share my pattern so I can hear from you. 🙂 Hope your day is peaceful.
So sorry to bother you, but I am not seeing the directions for these. They are so cute!
