PLEASE BE KIND AND REWIND. A FREE SEWING PATTERN FOR YOU!

Hi! How are you doing? Weird times right? How’s your family? Is everyone alright? Are you staying safe? What have you been up too? Have you made a million masks and cleaned out all your closets? Binge watched a few shows lately? Have you finished up any old projects?

Speaking of finishing up projects and binge watching shows, a while back I was asked to write a pattern to go with Libs Elliot’s Mixed Tape collection. Which I happily did… then this, that and the other thing happened and I never got around to releasing it on my own site. Well today is the day! AND I wanted you to have it first before anyone else. Thank you for subscribe to the newsletter! I really appreciate it and I will always release everything here first!

This free pattern is called REWIND. It’s a quick quilt that can be pieced in an evening. Measuring 53 x 78 inches (135 x 198 cm), this quilt was built in mind for snuggling under on the couch with your favorite (fur or no fur) person and binge watching your favorite show. AND! I discovered in the making of the larger quilt, I had enough left over to make a baby quilt top. I figured our (fur or no fur) babies might like their very own quilt too, right?! it measures to 48 x 53 inches ( 122 x 135 cm). You can download it HERE.

Stay safe, we’ll chat soon. I’ve got a few things cooking I can’t wait to tell you about BUT I have to hold off for now! TeeHee!

BE KIND AND PLEASE "REWIND"

Secret designing revealed-Yay! I had been sitting on this idea for a while now. I'd even started buying fabric for it but was never satisfied. It was so clear in my head how it should be. The idea was to invent the ultimate, snuggling on the couch, watching shows quilt, based off a North American test screen... Then I got another one of those emails I love! It was from Daryl of Andover Fabrics reaching out and inquiring if I'd be interested in working with Libs Elliott's latest collection called Mix Tape. Boy would I! And Mix Tape was a perfect fit! So perfectly, perfect! I'm thrilled to bring you "REWIND" a FREE pattern ready for download HERE.

I can't wait to get my hands on this new collection and sew it up!!! Until then I'll be pining away for Libs' Mix Tape collections of tiny lips, hearts, stars and skulls. Not to mention those selvages!!! Have you seen the selvages? Each print has THE BEST titles like: Tainted Love (Lysa Flower fun fact, it's my very favorite song!), Heart of Glass (YES!), Lick it up (my husband was a HUGE Kiss fan back in the day. I even did an embarrassing painting of Paul Stanley for him in high school. Maybe I'll show it to you some day... er maybe not, cringe, ha, ha!), Satisfaction (if you had to choose, Beatles or the Stones?), You Shook me (Hello AC/DC!), and more! OOh! My Cassette patterns are SCREAMING for these selvages!

Until we get the fabric in our hands to sew REWIND up, here are some RECOMMENDED TV shows for curling up on the couch with: Amazon Prime's The Marvelous Miss Maisel, The Night Manager and The Man in the High Castle. A show I watched on my own, on the nights when everyone was away, Good Girls Revolt (fingers tightly crossed they do another season!). Oh and we just started watching Sneaky Pete (totally binge worthy)!

RECOMMENDED for your play list (how could I not, this quilt is screaming for this song): The BUGGLES, 1979's Video Killed the Radio Star and here's their 2004 version. I think Prince Charles quite enjoyed it, don't you!
