21.01.2022 The process of making a quilt is so satisfying. I love watching it grow and then the fulfillment of seeing a quilt finished. Sometimes its the little things that make us smile . This is my new quilt and it has no name (suggestions welcome!) and will be put together tonight. Stitching at night is the most relaxing time for me. No interruptions; just the hum of my machine and some music to sing along to . . .... . . . #sewswishdesigns #quiltersofinstagram #sew #sewing #handsewing #machinepiecing #handpiecing #quilt #quiltingismytherapy #handmade #newquilt #patchwork #quilting #design #fabricstash #scrappy #scrappyquilt #quilts #addictedtoquilting #makersgonnamake #quiltinglove #sophiedawson See more

21.01.2022 Style I am that person that can be seen standing at the front of high end fashion shops eyes wide marveling at the craftsmanship, cut, fabric, colour, style, balance and finishing of the garments so elegantly put together on the mannequins - to me it all matters and I have such appreciation for the hours of effort taken to produce such items of clothing, handbags and jewelry. I follow companies like Dior, Chanel, Burberry, Arthur Gallan to be inspired not because of wanti...ng (Reality is, I have absolutely nowhere to wear such couture nor do I have sufficient funds to afford them ). For me its all about inspiration, quality and admiration of a job well done . . . . . . #sewswishdesigns #quiltersofinstagram #sew #sewing #handmade #makersgonnamake #sophiedawson #fashion #style #inspiration #shopwindows #shopwindowdesign

20.01.2022 Adding more texture today. I just love this calm, organic and earthy colour palette such a change to my normal florals and bursts of colour.

19.01.2022 HAND QUILTING some of you might find the idea of sitting down to hand quilt your work a little daunting; let me tell you, it is the most relaxing and mindful process - one of the most enjoyable parts of quilt making (in my opinion ). . Here are my essential hand quilting tools to help you get started: Hera marker Perle 8 thread... A leather thimble (save your fingers!) Embroidery needles no.7 or @jeanakimball redwork needles (both are faves of mine for hand quilting) Scissors Curved pins for basting your quilt (easy to remove as your go) Pin cushion Ruler .

18.01.2022 Today is the day we prepare for reverse appliqué! There is more than one way to prepare your work for reverse appliqué, I am sharing what works for me . Once you have lined up your hexagons and the front fabric as per the instructions, double check that your hexagons are extending past the drawn heart line all around. .... It’s now time to baste the hexagons to the cushion front. There are a couple of ways to do this; you can pin it all together and hand stitch around the drawn line or a quicker alternative is to pin it all together and sew around the drawn line on your sewing machine using a longer stitch length and no reverse locking stitches. . Carefully cut the front fabric away on the INSIDE from the drawn/basted line. . It’s not too late to join in! If you haven’t got your FREE PATTERN yet, head on over to www.SewSwishDesigns.com.au (link in profile). .

14.01.2022 I am picking up my needle and thread today putting a bit more work into a New Quilt that I hope to have ready really soon . I thought I’d also mention one of my most favourite hand sewing tools; my finger pin cushion. How can such a simple thing be So amazing? You can make one for yourself quite easily, here’s How: . You will need:... A large flat button Small piece of Elastic A felt ball General sewing supplies . Method: Take the elastic and measure around your finger (the one you want to wear it on) make sure you give yourself a little overlap (1cm ish) to stitch it together. Stitch it together at the overlap, now you should have a small elastic ring. Where you have stitched the overlap, place the button on top and stitch it to the elastic (you might need a thimble to help push the needle through). Take your felt ball, with a freshly knotted needle and double thread; starting from under the overlap/button push your needle up and through a button hole to the top of the felt ball, making a small stitch, pass the needle back down through a different button hole. Repeat this until it feels secure, tie it off and voila! You have a new ring finger pin cushion! . P.S. you will realize the value of the button when your pin doesn’t stick though into your finger! Ouch! . Happy making! Make sure you tag me when you’re showing off your new finger pin cushion . . #quiltersofinstagram #handsewing #handsewingisfun #quiltingismytherapy #quilting #quilt #pincushion #fingerpincushion #feltball #newquiltpattern #winsomequilt #handsewn #handsewnwithlove #patchwork #patchworkquilt #sewingtools #makeyourown #needlesandpins #sophiedawson #sewswishdesigns See more

14.01.2022 Sewing space Last Friday I picked up this gorgeous old table for $50 and let me tell you, its a seriously solid, heavy hunk of timber! I have sanded it back and given it a remodel - and I just LOVE IT!! (Swipe for the before photo if you missed it in my stories). My room is lovely and tidy now, but wont be long until its hidden under piles of glorious fabric! This is where my ideas are created, pondered over and sewn together - My happy place Thanks for visiting .... . . . . #sewswishdesigns #quiltersofinstagram #sew #sewing #handsewing #machinepiecing #handpiecing #quilt #quiltingismytherapy #handmade #sewingstudio #sewingroom #sewingspace #patchwork #quilting #design #fabricstash #scrappy #scrappyquilt #quilts #addictedtoquilting #makersgonnamake #quiltinglove #sophiedawson #brothersewingmachine #innovis2000 See more

13.01.2022 Valentine’s Day is tomorrow so let’s get your Lovey-Dovey Cushion assembled! . There are many tutorials online on how to insert zips so I’m not going to rehash that here. You best look at @sotakhandmade . Let’s talk binding. As a scrappy quilter I enjoy using up all those left over little pieces of fabric. I prepared my scraps in varying lengths all cut to 2 1/4 wide. Sew them together on the short edge to form one continuous length, press and fold in half on the long e...dge (wrong sides together) to form your binding. . If sewing a scrappy binding is not your thing or time is of the essence, by all means use one fabric to bind your cushion. The result will still be gorgeous . From here, attach your binding all around and voila! Your Lovey-Dovey Cushion is complete and ready to be gifted or enjoy for yourself . .

12.01.2022 How are you going with your Lovey-Dovey Cushion? Today we are reverse appliquéing . Let’s talk thread for a moment. I am quite particular when it comes to choosing the right thread for the job. In appliqué hiding my stitches is important to me and that’s why I use DMC 50wt. it’s a lovely fine yet strong thread that seems to bury itself beautifully so my stitches are hidden. I don’t use white but a murky colour that just blends with everything. . As for needles, this to...o is a personal choice but I prefer a shorter size 10 appliqué needle. I find this easy to manage and gives me good control when I am needle turning. . Reverse appliqué really is much like normal appliqué it’s just that you are revealing what’s underneath instead of stitching on top. Carefully snip those basting stitches in approx half inch intervals for about 3 inches, unpick one small section and use your needle to turn under the top fabric to give a neat edge and take a small stitch (the small perforation from where the basting stitches were should help the fabric to fold under). Keep progressing, taking small stitches around your heart shape. . TIP: Snip the concave curves and the bottom point in the heart to help you turn the fabric with ease and give a neater finish. . It’s not too late to join in! If you haven’t got your FREE PATTERN yet, head on over to www.SewSwishDesigns.com.au (link in profile). .

09.01.2022 Melbourne A little over four years ago my husband and I made the massive decision to relocate our little family from Melbourne to Sydney to pursue his career and an amazing job opportunity. . Today I find my heart breaking for all of my family and friends back home. The threat of Covid 19 is a very real one. Please know that I care . I have never felt so far from home, from my precious family and my beautiful friends as I do now. ... . I believe that stage 4 restrictions are a hook turn in the right direction (see what I did there ). .

06.01.2022 Not quite sure how we got to Friday already but it’s quilting day for the Lovey-Dovey Cushion! . Quilting. I used a gorgeous variegated DMC Perle 8 and I love how it highlights the heart. Apart from quilting around the heart three times I also popped a small ‘x’ in each hexagon to hold it all together (I like to think of these as little kisses ). As this is a cushion project I also took a tiny shortcut and didn’t put a backing/third layer in my quilt sandwich. Once the cush...ion cover is fully assembled and the insert in nobody is going to know . For hand quilting I prefer to use Jeana Kimball’s Embroidery/Redwork needles in a size 8 or 9. I find these needles a good length and easy to thread. . If you are not keen on making this project into a cushion, it would make a lovely wall hanging/mini quilt. You will need to put backing fabric (triple layer quilt sandwich) and then add your desired amount of quilting. . It’s not too late to join in!

04.01.2022 Crochet has always been a bit scary for me, much like knitting; I drop a stitch and its all over! Not today! Today I figured it out! I bought this Josephs Coat Accent Pillow about 95 million years ago from @cuttingcloth . applique + orange peels = not scary Crochet edge = terrifying! (I know some of you are laughing at me right now)... . With a little YouTube help and many errors I have a) got the pattern correct or b) been consistent in my errors enough that it has made a pretty edge of knots .

04.01.2022 How are you going with your hexagons? Which method of piecing did you chose? . Pressing matters; today I’m showing you how I press the seams on my hexagons when they have been hand pieced or machine pieced. . TIP: when your iron, there is a difference between dragging and pressing the iron onto your work. If you drag, then you will pull your fabrics and they will warp/ distort. Gentle pressing by lifting and replacing the iron around your work is all you need ... . If you have chosen EPP then you’re totally fine to to leave the papers in for ironing, press your work flat and then gently set about removing your papers- by pressing before removing the papers it makes it easier to ‘set’ the seam allowances so they don’t open out easily and are much easier to work with. . TIP: spray starch like Best Press will help to hold your seam allowance folds around your EPP hexagons. . It’s not too late to join in!

02.01.2022 There is a distinct difference between making a quilt and designing one. When you make a quilt youre following a recipe with a clear design and end result in mind. When you design a quilt it can take various turns along the way For me, my quilts hang around on my design wall for ages and I keep looking at it making sure there is balance, that the colors sit happily together, what if I add something more (or take something away). I am constantly pondering the what if... Wi...th a little unpicking and rejigging I am finally happy with the end result Trial and error are the biggest elements to design. Better an oops than a what if...
