Join me in using an item of fabric, pattern, book or other item that was given to you in a giveaway or as a present from a family member or friend and showcase your project on your blog this week. This is a great time to get around to using that amazing pattern you won in a giveaway, or that lovely fabric someone gave you--even those buttons or special notions that you've received! Haven't received any material sewing items lately? That doesn't matter either--we can be sew grateful for the time people put into organising sew-alongs, tutorials, etc. Why not jump in and participate in that sew-along you missed or make something from that tutorial you've been thinking about? Even if you don't get around to finishing a project, maybe spend some time blogging about what you're grateful for in relation to your hobby and the sewing community?
You can grab the button from this post (or email me and I'll send you the picture).
I'm planning on doing two highlights post this weekend of everyone's Sew Grateful posts! So drop me a comment if you've done a post for the challenge and I'll be sure to include it!
Have a fabulous day!
Hi Debi!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a lovely idea for a challenge! It's so nice to celebrate all the goodwill in the sewing blogging community.
What an awesome idea Debi. I sure will be participating.
ReplyDeleteI just posted my thanks: http://mybeaubaby.blogspot.com/2011/11/sew-grateful-thanks-to-all-those-who.html
ReplyDeleteand THANKS to you for inspiring me to do so!
I'm a little behind but I wanted to tell you happy bloggaversary. I love to sew but if it weren't for the internet sewing community I would never have tried so many things or discovered all the fun and would have given it up. Your blog is a big part of that. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving, Debi. Thanks for encouraging this wonderful community to share a bit of thanks today. I chose to post about the only giveaway I've won, which was a wonderful collection of Sublime Stitching embroidery patterns and a tote bag on which to embroider, all thanks to Sublime Stitching and Tilly of Tilly and the Buttons. You should have seen how ecstatic I was when I found out I won! I'd never done any real embroidery before. Here's my post to share my thanks.
ReplyDeleteThis is so weird - Just before I read your post I did a blogpost about a skirt I made from some fabric given to me. It is a really pretty pink linen from my neighbour and it was her mothers before that. She thinks it is at least 40 years old - it was in perfect condition. I would love to join in this fun. ( however I can not get the button to work properly )
ReplyDeleteI also meant to say that I think you are incredible coming up with all your creations every week for the Sew Weekly. I know I couldn`t do that.
ReplyDeleteHi Debi! I participated, great idea!

Hi Janine! I don't know why the button is being problematic but other people have mentioned it as well...send me your email and I'll mail you the picture version!
ReplyDeleteThank you again for thinking of this idea! Earlier in the week I posted about a finish for a quilt-a-long I joined and for those bloggers who related to parts of this piece.

oooh la.. This fits with a shrug I just made from fabric leimomi brought me and the pattern on tanit-isis' blog... Will write it up and link you. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Debi
ReplyDeleteI'm tying in the Burda Challenge with this. I'm using a pattern sent to me by Barbara from Croatia in Kat's pattern swap at Sew Weekly. I've started a post about it and linked you in.
i'm partying over at my place with you!

and i covet your fabulous pumpkin dress, girl.
I've completely run out of time this week! Waaah!!! So I'm hosting a giveaway in honour of Sew Grateful week instead, over here: http://macskakat.wordpress.com/2011/11/27/giveaway-2/
ReplyDeleteCan we do Sew Grateful week again? I've got so many plans!!!
Sadly I haven't finished my dress in time, but I made a bag for a friend that you can see here :) I hope you have one of these 'sew gratefuls' again; it's such a wonderful idea! RL x

Great idea, indeed! I participated with an unfinished item and a bunch of ideas. :-)
