once upon a thread

March 7th, 2011

Have you heard about the awesome project Katy has going on over at the big dill? She’s rounded up a bunch of fantastic people and asked them all to design a project inspired by their favorite children’s book–it’s called Once Upon a Thread.  She so kindly asked me to participate and I was super excited to be a part of it, but then I kind of choked…well you can read all about it on her blog.

Also, wow! you guy are amazing! Thanks for all of the toy suggestions on the last post. Be sure to go read the comments to see what all the kids are playing with these days.

Posted in sewing clothes.

    definitely not a choke! I loved your top! I’ve been wanting to try making “drop cloth” fabric and then sew it into something for awhile, so it was really fun to see it done. Jay McCarroll has a cheater print of it out now in quilting cotton, but I think it’s much more fun to make your own :)

    Meg, you may have choked but you always do it with style. Seriously. And I love your completed project. Also, I so relate to the pressure to create–even if it is inspiring in theory, it can be nerve-wracking coming up with these projects in reality…

    I really loved this post and I too relate to your maker’s block. It’s so difficult for me to get from idea to reality but your post is inspiring as is that book. Thank you!

    You always inspire. I bought four boxes of Rit dye to try my own version of this. Wish me luck. ;)
