The most difficult thing to write about is something that I’ve just finished sewing but can’t fully show it.
Yes, I am talking about gifts, things that we sew for family members or friends. There is always a risk that the person who is meant to receive the gift, stumbles onto the blog and sees what I am sewing at this moment. And just like that… the element of surprise is gone.
Therefore, I will only tell you a few little things and show you just a glimpse or two of what I have been sewing lately. This is gift is meant for two sisters. I did not get any specific instructions or details about what to sew so I came up with… (and this is where I have to bite my tongue so as not to spoil anything.)
I used six beautiful panels with a floral print. I bought them a while ago (I have to admit that it was on impulse), they are so pretty. I planned to sew some nice cushions but then decided that the floral print deserved better. I put them aside and they have been laying around, until now.
Unfortunately, I won’t be able to admire them anymore, but I hope that the recipients will like them.
Of course, the panels are just the beginning. I am so glad to have access to Pinterest. There is so much inspiration there, everyone can find something interesting for themselves. I scrolled through pictures, chose the fabrics and hired my husband to make a diagram. I am not good at counting block measurements, but my husband is an expert.
After calculating and drawing, I started cutting and sewing. Everything went smoothly.
Sewing the blocks with matching points is very hard and time consuming, especially for those with no experience in it. I am one of the inexperienced. It took me way more time than I had planned, but the quilting part gave me so much joy.
