Craft Book Month at Craftbuds :: Patchwork Please

Good Morning and Happy Friday!!

Did you know that September is craft book month over at craftbuds.com .


Don't let those craft books sit on your shelf and collect dust! We want to see what you've been making. That’s why Craft Buds has lined up a list of fabulous bloggers who will be showing off their projects made from craft books, all month long!

I choose Patchwork Please by:: Ayumi Takahashi


It took me a long while to choose just one project. I spent many hours oohing  and ahhing over all the cuteness in this book. I finally settled on the Triangle patchwork box pouch.


 I love The mini quilting process of this bag. It gave me the warm feeling of piecing a quilt with instant gratification. The box is assembled from the exterior first and then the lining is hand sewn in. 


I shared this photos on Instagram yesterday and wonder that maybe a very strong sewing glue could be used to attach the lining (like liquid stitch)  for those of you that do not like to hand sew. 


The most fun part about this bag besides watching it come together is choosing all the pretty fabrics an embellishments she adds not only in this project but many of them throughout the book.  I encourage you to check out the reviews on Amazon and buy it, or head to your local library to see for yourself. Such amazing goodness throughout!

Fabrics I used
Essex yarn dyed linen in black
various fabrics from "washi" by Rashida Coleman-Hale
Metro Living by robert kaufman
Waterfront park Domino dot By Violet craft
Cuzco by Kate Spain for Moda
Koi by Rashida Coleman-Hale

  4. Trusting to make the right decisions can be tough. It takes years to build confidence. Its not the sort of thing that simply just happens. Plumber Warner
