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.

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.

I debated whether or not to blog about my beautiful turquoise painted chairs… because I didn’t sew anything on them (yet). But this was a project involving fabric and it turned out so amazing, that in the end I just have to share.
Learn how to sew a DIY lanyard! The lanyard in this free sewing tutorial is double sided so you can use two coordinating fabrics to make it twice as nice. My free Wrist Strap Keychain Tutorial has been so popular,…

I’m so excited to show you how to sew this gorgeous cross body bag… it has pockets to spare and beautiful piping! I worked so hard to make the pattern template for the bottom of the bag just right and…
You know that feeling when you see fabric at the thrift store or a yard sale or somewhere and you don’t need it, but it’s so pretty and a really good deal??? I saw these two beautiful rolls of Michael Miller twill (60” wide!!!) at my favorite thrift store a couple months ago for $20 each. The fabric was clean and soft and even smelled new. But I was shopping with a non-sewing friend at the time and I was embarrassed to buy it since she knows I already have a room full of fabric and I couldn’t think of an immediate project that needed 30 yards of designer star fabric. So I passed on it.
Cadie has been asking me to sew her a new lunchbox for a while, and this one will never get stuck at the bottom of the school lost-and-found bucket because it has her name printed all over it!
