Testing Trees - TTMT #573 - nmjewells - November 18, 2025 (Crafty Show &...

This week I talk about making more progress in clearing out my fabric stash, selling it to ReCreate at Hip Stitch for store credit (you can also just donate fabric, books, notions, etc), and also about my latest pattern for the 2025 Paper Piecing Club Pattern Series called "Tree Time". I had fun creating this beginner-friendly, 2-option pattern that is very scrap friendly. I did some image searching and managed to identify the background fabric that I bought in Japan that I love so much... it's a cotton poplin by Sevenberry fabrics of Japan. It's from a line called Petit Sophila, and the name of the print is Mini Blooms.

As usual, the thing about this pattern that was the most time-consuming was just choosing fabrics from my stash... the actual sewing went lickety-split!

Stay Crafty Y'all!

Love,

TTMT #572 - nmjewells - November 11, 2025 - One Bin Down (crafty show & ...

This week I talk about re-donating fabric and blocks, etc back to Project Linus to make some progress in this disaster of a project room. One bin less in the room means more space under my quilt frame. Every bit helps!

Stay Crafty, y'all

Overalls Alterations - TTMT #571 - nmjewells - November 4, 2025 (Crafty ...

This week I talk about finishing my overall alterations just in time for the Halloween party at work, which was on Thursday of last week. And you also a get a brief glimpse at the chaos that is currently taking up my creative space. I kinda winged it with the overalls so I can't refer you to any tutorials, but my best advice is just go for it. The hardest step is convincing yourself to make that first CUT. You got this!
