10 cool sewn things


Gorgeous quilt block by Grumperina.


The lady at Grosgrain made this dress from a vintage blouse. Love it.


Found via Mr. X-Stitch.


Quilt block tutorial found via WhipUp.


TOO GODDAMN GORGEOUS. (Yup. It gets to be full-size with all-caps. It’s that gorgeous.) Found via Craft.


I’m not generally that into skulls as an aesthetic choice, but I dig these. Found via Craft.


WANT. Holybowie I love this quilt so much. Grey/yellow is one of my favorite color combinations, and I love traditional patterns in modern colors. From wise craft.


I will love Grady no matter what type of elementary-school-kid she grows up to be. But it would be particularly awesome if she became a kid who likes these lunch sacks. Because seriously, how awesome are they? Found via Craft.


This pillowcase pattern/post was made for the purpose of philanthropy, but, uh, it reminds me of how I need to make my own pillowcases. I think that would be the perfect way to extend the theme of my bed/living room (yup. 1-bedroom apartment means that my living room is where my bed is. It’s cool.) and simultaneously make a dent in my massive fabric stash. Found via Craft.


Little Birdie Plush tutorial
from A Beautiful Mess. I want to make these not as toys for Grady, but as decor. Which means I won’t be able to make them until she’s quite a bit older, because using toys solely as decor would kill the poor girl.

  1. I have a theory that if you just surround kids with only things that are in great taste, they will grow up with great taste. Grady is the test case, and so far it is working splendidly.
