Welcome to Show Off Saturday once more! It’s time to share what you’ve been working on and I have a pillow to share.
I got busy with my needle felting machine (it looks a lot like a sewing machine without thread) and finished this pillow for my sister Kat’s birthday.
The applique on this pillow was inspired by some beautiful dome topped cathedrals I visited in Russia years and years ago.
I drew the design for this pillow digitally first so it could be used as an applique too. I’ll polish it up and make it available to my readers if you are interested.
The pillow cover was made by hand-sewing the two felt squares together with a running stitch and pearle cotton. I inserted a pillow form before I sewed the last side. Easy!
So, what have you been sewing up this week? Did you make something with one of my free sewing tutorials or patterns? I would love to see! Tag me on Instagram @sewcanshe.
Sew an organizer covered with pockets that you can hang in your closet! This easy sewing project is great for organizing sewing and craft supplies, fashion accessories, bathroom necessities, gift wrappings, and more. There are pockets on both sides plus a big interior pocket so every bit of space is used. I’ll show you easy step by step instructions for sewing this organizer and putting it to use in your home. Get sew organized today.
Are you sewing a Closet Organizer with me? I hope so! This is Part 2 of our free sewing tutorial for an amazing organizer with a coat hanger inside so you can hang it anywhere.
If you are getting started, make sure you start at Part 1 of the free pattern.
Be a basketmaker! Sure, you can sew, but did you know that you can make amazing baskets too using your sewing machine, some fabric and the same materials that you use for your other projects?
Have you fallen in love with Quilt as You Go yet? It’s a fun technique for quilts, of course, but I’m having lots of fun using it for pouches and tote bags too.
I’m so excited to share with you the pattern for our first mini quilt of 2018… Flora! This beautiful little quilt was designed by the very talented Lauren of Molly & Mama…
At my daughter Chloe’s high school (can you believe my baby started high school???), the lunch lines are so long that she has been skipping lunch! She’s always starving by the time she gets home because she doesn’t want to carry a big lunch bag as well as her heavy backpack – poor girl!
Looking for free table runner patterns? I gathered up all my favorites in one place – here are free quilt patterns for table runners for fall, winter, spring and summer!
I am so in love with the beautiful look of simple patchwork quilts with lots of squares. This is the perfect way to use up fabric scraps like I did, or you can make a beautifully coordinated quilt with pre-cut 2 1/2’’ square fabric pieces that come in mini-charm packs.
I’m also in love with the process. If you feel like quilt making is your escape from the world and sitting down to sew for a few hours makes your troubles fade away… this is the quilt for you!
Sew an easy beautiful apron with this free sewing pattern that only uses one yard of fabric! Whether you are sewing for yourself or for a friend, an apron always comes in handy and makes a great gift. This blog post includes a link to a free template that I digitized for you.

My kids love rag quilts, and this is the best one I’ve made yet. At least according to them. I wrote last Saturday that they had it on a rotating schedule so everyone got a chance to sleep with it. They are now all snuggled up watching a movie under it, and I haven’t had the chance to enjoy it yet! Well, I really do enjoy seeing them use it so I guess that’s good enough for now.
These jean shorts do not look new, he he. The first time I wore these jeans was at Spring Quilt Market this year (where it was cold and rainy) and then I came home to hot and humid Florida where it feels like it’s 97 degrees every day. After a month of wishing I could wear my Angel jeans again, I finally cut them off into knee-length shorts.
Sew a beautiful throw quilt using pineapple quilt blocks with a twist! The Golden Pineapple Quilt Pattern has big 20” quilt blocks so it’s fast to sew. The ‘twist’ to this log cabin pineapple quilt block is adding pieced corners…
When the kids went back to school a couple weeks ago, I started sewing a new quilt to help Fat Quarter Shop celebrate their Top 10 Video Tutorials of 2015.

Some of you have been asking to see how my sewing room makeover is coming… I know it’s been two weeks since I’ve posted about it and the reason why is because it’s a big mess!
Love, love, love this pillow and would like to have the appliqué templates.
