2024.06.02 17:49 Becaka Quilting progression
Hey everyone! I just completed my third quilt and third thing I’ve sewn, so I wanted to share my progress! Plus a cat tax! I realized after that this is all the same cat (I have three) I guess she’s just a big fan of quilting lol! submitted by Becaka to quilting [link] [comments] 1 (pics 1-3): This quilt was the first thing I had ever sewn, I’ve always enjoyed crafts so I asked my parents for a sewing machine for my birthday. My mom asked for a quilt so I ordered random fabrics off Amazon and winged it. Being the first quilt I made, I didn’t do any research and made two quilt tops lol! I did straight line quilting and while it’s crooked and goofy I love it. 2 (pics 4-6): after completing my first quilt I was hooked, I decided to make myself one! This time I went to my local quilt shop and got some higher quality fabrics and I had joined this Reddit and started acting looking into how to properly make a quilt. This quilt was made with a random block I found on Pinterest (I’m sure there is an actual name, I just have no clue) and a bunch of fat quarters. I like to call this quilt my learning quilt as I nearly quit so many times after broken needles, tread and a timing issue. This Reddit helped me with some questions about a new machine and I ended up getting the Janome 2030QDC (which I love so much). This was my first taste of free motion quilting and while it gives me a headache remembering the amount of stress that went into it, I am incredibly proud I finished it. The corners are mangled because I didn’t watch the tutorial properly, this is something I’d like to fix at some point in the future. 3 (7-end): This the olive blossom quilt by kecollinsdesigns on Etsy, it was my first experience with sewing curves and using a pattern but I found the pattern to be super easy to follow! The free motion quilting took what felt like years but I love how it turned out and the corners and crinkle make me very happy! I hope you enjoyed a look into the beginning of my quilting life! There will be many more and I can’t wait to see what I learn and how my skills grow! |
2024.06.02 05:31 overthemoon828 Where can I get a blanket like this?
I was shopping at a Ross or TJ Maxx about a year ago and found this blanket. I loved the variety of (soft!) textures and have regretted not getting it! But when I reached out to the named manufacturer about where I could find one, they were not helpful in the least. submitted by overthemoon828 to HelpMeFind [link] [comments] To clarify, I don't need this exact blanket but I would like something similar that has multiple textures to (it similar to a quilt, but different textures instead of patterns), and very cuddleable. |

2024.06.02 00:11 misslion With a month of sewing under my belt, I made my first bag! A mini backpack that I'm in love with!
Pattern is the Park Mini Backpack by RosieandDavidUS on Etsy. It's a pretty good pattern and the video they have helps a lot. I had originally machine sewn the binding indide but I didn't like how messy it looked so I ripped it out and hand sewed and I am much more pleased. I learned SO much making this bag. submitted by misslion to sewing [link] [comments] Exterior is cotton canvas remnants from Joann that I paid less than $2 a yard for (it was a wild steal, I tell you). The pattern called for quilting cotton but the added weight of this fabric is working just fine. Interior is quilting cotton remnants from Joann. I'm becoming pretty obsessed with that remnants section!! |

2024.06.01 19:24 iseekno To the Pond Quilt is finished!
I am beyong thrilled to show off my "To the Pond" quilt! I created the pattern myself in EQ8 and created the animals in Photoshop. I even created most of the fabric designs and had it printed by spoon flower! It took weeks of planning and sewing to get it done. I didn't realize that I had made a pattern with four y seams, so it very difficult to get together! The snail block is surrounded by y seam, woops lesson learned! The backing is a twin flat sheet. It is 68 by 80 a great throw size! I'm in love 🦊 submitted by iseekno to quilting [link] [comments] |
2024.06.01 18:25 SewingBotler June Challenge Rules and Entries

The challenge theme for June is Pattern Matching! We are running a new group challenge each month. This post will explain the rules and serve as the collection point for entries. The post will be locked for the first week, then unlocked for entries to be added. We will use the June Challenge Chat and Questions post for discussions. Thanks for your patience as we figure out how to run these challenges! We are still accepting feedback via modmail. If you would like to help pick challenges and run the subreddit, please contact the mod team through modmail! We would love the help! June 2024 Challenge Description - Pattern Matching What separates fast manufacturing from home sewing? The time and willingness to put a little extra care into a project. If you have seen this meme or visited LuLaNo, then you know that pattern matching and placement can make or break a project. It's a skill that has to be learned like buttonholes but once you've practiced, it becomes so much easier. For this month's challenge, choose a fabric that has a print or design. The patterned fabric can be a print design like quilting cottons, or a part of the weave like knit stripes or lace. Then use your fabric to sew any project that has prominent seams to match across. Most garments like shirts, jackets and pants, accessories like bags or home decor like curtains made of multiple panels meet this requirement. The challenge does not include super simple projects like a two-piece cushion, layouts that don't allow pattern matching like most circle skirts or anything made of yardage that needs only a hem, like napkins. Your entry photos should show us the overall project plus a close-up of your beautiful pattern matching. Fine details:
Sneak preview of the theme for July is Bags! July is a popular month for travel and bags help us carry our important stuff along. Make-up bags, duffel bags, hand bags, it's going to be Bag Month. |

2024.06.01 01:37 adyd Finished quilt. Thanks everyone for your suggestions on quilting
Finished quilt. Pattern is City Girl Chevron my Krista Moser. Ended up going with a diamond snake kind of pattern with a variegated thread. Love how it ended up popping on the backing. It was my first time trying anykind of straight line with a free motion foot, which had a way higher learning curve than I expected. I'm really happy with how it turned out submitted by adyd to quilting [link] [comments] |
2024.06.01 01:09 Megabc123 Bilbo Baggins Patchwork Robe
I finished my Bilbo Baggins Patchwork robe! Thanks for your help earlier, quilting! It's been a long 5 months of preparing and quilting the fabric, learning how to make a robe / making mock-ups, and actually making the robe, lining, and attaching the two together. In all, I think I spent ~200 hours on the robe and it cost a bit more than $200, so that's about $1 per hour of entertainment ;) I also got a lot of fabric from family/friends, and I have a fair number of patches left if anyone wants to try their hand at a robe too! submitted by Megabc123 to quilting [link] [comments] I was inspired by Shannon Makes' Bilbo Housecoat video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=856Jlcu3RqI. I purchased the pattern from her site, though I ended up changing it a bit because I wanted larger shapes. The pattern I used was "Simplicity 4739 Vintage 60's men's robe", though I had to make a fair number of alterations! front of robe back of robe lining |
2024.06.01 00:58 candystarjones Thank you to whoever gave me this idea!
Making a little something for my new niece being born in the next few days, don't normally quilt in diamond pattern but this is Def making it so easier! Anyone else use a laser level for straight lines or anything else construction related in quilting?? submitted by candystarjones to quilting [link] [comments] |

2024.05.31 18:06 wheniminthisdream 4 quilts for 4 bridesmaids!
About 9 months ago I set out to make quilts as gifts for each of my bridesmaids. I get married in 10 days and they’re all finally DONE!! I’m so thrilled with how they turned out and can’t wait to gift them. submitted by wheniminthisdream to quilting [link] [comments] Pattern is Madeline from Penelope Handmade, square throw size. Each of the back corners has a handwritten note from me that I scanned and printed on printable fabric (after lots of wash testing 😅). Fully pieced and quilted on my domestic machine, which was really pushed to its limit doing 4 in a row. |
2024.05.31 17:58 AloneTour6794 This is the apartment I’m moving into! Ideas for decor?!
For the living room, I’m thinking dark blues and olive greens with some orange and yellow accents. I’ve got a really ugly sectional and a gray futon. Both are torn and old, and I want to save to get new ones. I do like the colors, however, and like that they’re easy to mix and match. My parents suggested just getting slip covers for now, and saving to get really nice furniture later on. submitted by AloneTour6794 to femalelivingspace [link] [comments] For the bedroom, I’ve got a patterned quilt with some pinks, grays, yellow, and reds. I’m thinking there’s a lot I can do there. My dad said he’d buy my dining room table (up to $500). I really like antiques, however, and I am content with just going to a flea market or estate sale and getting something cheap but timeless. I have no idea what rug I want there, but I also don’t want to ruin the flooring so I definitely need something. As for the bathroom and kitchen, I have 0 ideas. I always kill plants, but I definitely think some pothos would liven the place up. I’m thinking I want to just get some clippings and submerge them in a water source while they grow. If any plant girlies have any suggestions, let me know! Any suggestions, ideas, tips? |

2024.05.31 14:18 Stella_plantsnbakes How would you quilt these?
Hi all! I have a few small projects that are almost ready to be quilted and I am considering how to quilt them. I'm quite new to this hobby so need to stick to straight line quilting that I'll do on my domestic machine. What we have here are 2 pillow covers and one mini quilt. I'm not opposed to colorful thread and close stitches on the cake blocks but worry that may take away from the overall design and pretty colors within. Also, I think I'd prefer the quilting to recede on the mini... it may need very little quilting overall since it will hang and not get washed often. Also, it's only about 7" x 20" so I'm thinking I may just stitch between blocks... but idk. What do you all think? submitted by Stella_plantsnbakes to quilting [link] [comments] Love to Sew Mini pattern by SheSewCurly Birthday Cakes, inspired by many but self drafted |
