Today, we revisit Madeira by Blackbird Designs for Moda...this is such a wonderful collection - not only the sought after "sampler print" fabrics...but the floral, paisley, and checkered prints too! I have accumulated quite a bit of this particular collection, so I decided to start using it. I put together two more sets of patchwork snack mats (mug rugs) and seven little sewing pouches....and there is still more in the drawer. The snack mats feature patchwork tops from an assortment of Madeira prints and the backs feature a single Madeira print - I like to make them reversible, so I can use either side....and the rick rack trim just adds the perfect little touch. The sewing pouches are fully lined, have two interior pockets, a sewn in Velcro closure, and no raw seams...and I decided to appliqué a hand-dyed wool fabric heart on each as an embellishment. At approximately 4" W x 5.5" H, one is the perfect size for carrying your needlework tools in your project bag...or to hold a small sewing kit...or to easily hold a smart phone and your cash/credit cards...even a passport or iPod fits easily inside. These smalls pouches/cases make me happy! So, now that I have started to cut in to my Madeira fabrics, of course I have some scraps...so that means a few pincushions from this line will be my next project...stay tuned...and yes, many (if not all) of the pieces shown here will be listed in my shop in the near future...
Those are so cute! I would have to schedule a few days to get that much done in one day! Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteEverything looks beautiful :)

SO cute! Every time I read your posts I want to race home and start sewing!
ReplyDeleteWow! Great looking pouches and snack mats! I love my pouch and have had to hide it at times so it doesn't end up in someone else's stitching bag!

What fun snack mats and pouches. It makes me want to do something with my fabric hoarding.

So far, I have managed to resist going to your shop, because I don't think it would be very good for my wallet; you make such cute things! Those little pouches are especially tempting! ;D
ReplyDeleteLovely projects - I'm sure we all hoard fabric and other stash, I'm certainly guilty!
