Blog – Creations By Michie'

It's time to get ready for you're next sewing project.  Although we're in the middle of Winter weather, it's not too early to start planning your Spring sewing!  We have selected two of our favorite patterns along with the Heirloom Embroidery Book and have put them on sale at a 50% savings to help get you started!  

Need a bit more inspiration?  Sweet little tucks and a touch of embroidery.  Perfect for that Spring baby.

Need some ideas for Christmas sewing for your little one?  I pulled together some illustrations of outfits that only need a bit of embroidery to make them holiday appropriate. And to make things easy, we even have a holly embroidery design on the "Free Stuff" page! 

What’s new in Classic Sewing Magazine?  A whole lot of cute!  Our pattern #138 features a center smocked Christmas tree.  The smocking design and instructions for the pattern can be found in the magazine.

You can also find a super cute little embroidered gnome on pattern #102.

And Joy Welsh of www.appliqueforkids.com used patterns #107 and #131 to show off her beautiful applique’s!

As always, we are thrilled to be part of this wonderful publication. ∼ Michie’

Dear, Creations by Michie’

Pattern #111 was perfect for a special garment to be worn to an outdoor wedding in August. The occasion provided me with a “dress rehearsal” for sewing a Christening bubble later this fall.

The fabric is cotton satin batiste in baby blue, trimmed with Swiss beading, both from Farmhouse Fabrics. The little bluebird machine embroidery design is from Martha Pullen’s Kent State Museum Collection, disk 1, stitched in DMC Broder cotton machine embroidery thread in variegated baby blue. I think the color is perfect with this sweet little one’s blue eyes!  Photos by Penny Layne Photography in Omaha, NE.
