Sublime Stitching Review & Giveaway



 I'm not the most patient person in the world, and sewing has never been one of my talents. When clothes get holes or loose buttons, I give them to my mom. But my grandmother was a seamstress and I think my daughter inherited that talent from her. She is always talking about sewing and loves making things like dream pillows. Embroidery is something she has been wanting to try, but since I am clueless about things like that, I wasn't sure where to start.  Then I came across Sublime Stitching. They have dozens of adorable embroidery sets that are lots of fun and easy enough for my daughter to master.




For my review, I received a La Petite Embroidery Set. These sets are perfect for beginners and come with everything you'll need to get started including a hoop, needle, scissors, 4 colors of thread, and iron on transfers. My daughter picked out the Fairies and Gnomes set because we love fantasy characters. As soon as it got here she set to work. I showed her, with supervision of course, how to iron the designs onto a white shirt. She then spent the whole day doing her embroidery work. The result is the adorable onesie that Willow is wearing in the photo. This transfer was mushrooms which I thought was an easy one to start with. Next we are moving onto a fairy.




The Fairy and Gnomes Kit is only one of dozens of different choices of Petite Embroidery sets. Some of the others include zombies, weddings, holiday themes and more. They also have two large sets called the Ultimate Embroidery Kit and the Stichin' Bee Set for more advanced users. They even have a new set of Yoga tranfers called "Om Sweet Om". These kits would make a great gift for crafty kids or adults on birthdays or other special occasions.  They are also the perfect thing to have around on rainy summer days to keep the kids entertained.




One lucky winner is going to receive a La Petite Kit of their choice! To enter, just visit Sublime Stitching and tell me something you learned or another item you love.

I think the "I like veggies" is hysterical! I would have to put those on some flour sack towels asap! Can I bribe you with cookies?

Becca said...

I just got SUBLIME STITCHING: Hundreds of Hip Embroidery Patterns and How-To by Jenny Hart (Chronicle Books). It's a straight-forward book of stitches with over 90!!!! different designs that you can transfer on to your material and simply begin stitching. The designs are cute and varied. I'm starting with the crossed ice-cream cone design. I'm thinking about using some outline and chain stitches. The book tells me how to do all the basics. I'm truly excited to have this book of Jenny's designs. Totally suggest you try it out, if you like the style of her drawings.

I like Sublime Stitching's tutorial on how to embroider on softer, thicker fabrics, using T-shirt stabilizers. It's brilliant.

I also like it on facebook and subscribe to her newsletter. I'll probably follow/like you, too. Gotta go and have a look around. :)

I am simply in LOVE with Sublime Stitching's "Wicked Step Scissors"! They are too cute and just the perfect size. Plus, it's hard to lose them with their wickedly different shape. :)
