For my mother's birthday, I have decided to have a sewing theme party! I created this adorable spool card for her birthday. Inside, it says to have a "sew" special birthday, and is decorated with sewing form paper. In addition to the card, I made a few other items for the party.
What is a birthday party without a birthday banner? Not just a plain birthday banner either, a spool birthday banner with a random sewing needle going through some of the spools of thread! It is all about the details.
Then I took a leap into the unknown:
Pincushion jars filled with her favorite candy. These were rather easy - so it was a small leap! You take fabric, draw a circle larger than the top. Fill with some batting, fold over the material around the top of the jar lid and hot glue, put on the ring of the mason jar, and fill with candy! It is also a great idea for mini sewing kits too! Plus it is super fast and easy! The tutorial for the pincushion jars can be found on this
Make it & Love it blog. Now to the biggest leap of my crafting life....
A sewing machine cake! I am terrible at icing a cake, so this was a challenge. My good friend, Angie Tolbert, made the buttons and the spool! These are super cute! The cake was made using an 11 x 15 pan. I cut a template out using the silhouette cameo of a sewing machine. This was transferred to a cardboard template. Then place on the cake and cut out! Next came making the homemade buttercream icing, and working with the icing to make a semi-smooth icing job! Next I decorated using a writing gel pen, and Oreo cookies for the turn knobs of the sewing machine. The needle is actual a cake testing needle which can be removed before cutting the cake. Thanks for stopping by! I hope you have a "sew" special day!
