Treat Yourself!

or make a special treasure for someone you treasure.
Over the years I have seen several variations of a "teacup pincushion"-- Pretty much a circle of fabric stuffed and glued into a pretty teacup--with a very pleasing result--
Today I want to share an idea (with tutorial) that happened to stumble into my Facebook Feed (Funny how that happens!)
It's a TEAPOT SEWING KIT!
http://www.hometalk.com/8552143/vintage-teapot-sewing-caddy-with-hidden-pincushion?utm_medium=facebook&date=20160102
What a wonderful way to use even a damaged teapot--
Pins and needles in the top and other sewing essentials tucked inside!

Great Way to use Table Runners!

We have a new Table Runner pattern--"Sew Simple Table Runner" that we are including free in the kits.  A cute Hallmark Print is the centerpiece of the runner !
 
Other than the obvious use--On a Table--I tried it out in some fun, unexpected ways--







Perfect size as a WallHanging above a Twin Bed!





How about a pop of color on the back of a loveseat?





or a nice little Twin Bed Runner to add some holiday cheer to a guest room?
