Sew Growth

i recently reviewed my friend erin’s sewing book stripped down patchwork.

with it, i learned a stellar sewing technique.

:: Seminole patchwork ::

it looks like i stitched all those pretty diamonds shapes individually, but i didn’t.  i got those shapes by cutting at an angle, and sewing together again.

 i did all this with my serger, because i ‘m efficient like that.

i top stitched each seam line for pizazz & strength.

i framed the patchwork out with solid fabric for more durability.

after all, this piece work is going to get lots of action; it’s a pocket!

being a tactile learner, erin’s book was perfect for me.

*thank you for the inspiration, erin.*

i’m gonna run with this.
