If you can sew a backstitch, whipstitch, and Frenc If you can sew a backstitch, whipstitch, and French knot, then you already know the stitches needed to embroider the entire Twelve Days series. And because of the *magic* of Sulky Stick ’n Stitch, you simply embroider and cut on the printed lines. My Twelve Days series is a great primer. It starts out beginner-friendly and gets more complex as you sew your way through the series in order. By the time you finish pattern no. 12 you’ll be an ornament makin’ rockstar. mmmcrafts dot com > Get Started for more info on your new hobby.

How are your July sewing challenges going? I sudde How are your July sewing challenges going? I suddenly realized how tight the rest of this month will be between teaching Sunday school, teaching/decorating for VBS, and a trip to see family, all the while trying to finish Snug In Their Beds. So I'm seizing a few hours this weekend to work on Lydia's TDITM swan. I do not want to be sewing at 3am on July 31, y'all.

I've been MIA on socials lately because who has ti I've been MIA on socials lately because who has time to create content and also make progress on stuff? I tend to hole up in my studio, drop socials, and really focus. I want to be done with Snug In Their Beds, like ASAP. I'm shooting photos for the step by step instructions whilst following my own written instructions to make an ornament. Got my red pen and I'm marking changes as I go. Shown: Solid version of the headboard gettin' a bead foot.
