I'm happy to share two projects I designed that are featured in Stitch Magazine, Summer 2013.
You will find it on news stands now!
The first is my set of Petal Nesting bowls.
Each individual petal and the bottom of the bowl is machine stitched. The individual petals and the base of the bowl are hand stitched together. It is a great project to take on the go!
The bowls sit on my work table and are the perfect place to put small sewing notions.
They would also be lovely on a dressing table for displaying your jewelry.
I used Denyse Schmidt's newest Shelburne Falls collection. I love this collection!
The theme of the issue inspired me to design this maxi dress. I love maxi dresses for summer time because they are so easy to wear - I love to feel dressed up and comfortable at the same time : ) This dress would be equally as lovely without the front ruffle! The flower is removeable and would be a fun embellishment on a hand bag!
In celebration of these projects I am hosting a give-away! Brenda at Pink Castle Fabrics has generously donated a FQ set of the Maple colorway of DS Shelburne Falls.
Please leave a comment below and I will pick a winner on Saturday. The give-away will be open until Friday 11:59 pm. PST. Good luck!!!
I love the bowls,, and your blog!

ReplyDeleteLove the nesting bowls!!so pretty!
ReplyDeleteCute bowls! When they are all stacked together they look like they're blooming!
ReplyDeleteBoth of your projects are so beautiful Charise! I love the bowls and need that dress this summer!
ReplyDeleteThe petal bowls are absolutely lovely, I must have a look for the magazine!
ReplyDeleteI really need to follow your lead and made a nice summer dress (if the weather ever warms up)! Being short, maxi dresses don't cut it for me so I always have to shorten them. Great looking bowls! Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteThe bowls are adorable! I don't usually sew garments, but your dress is luring me in!
ReplyDeleteThe bowls are adorable I can think of plenty of uses for them! The dress brings me back....and I agree....summer comfort and a feeling you can go anyway from shopping to lounging on the back deck, to church or to dinner... I loved wearing those dresses... when? at least a decade ago. Hope you bring it all back to popularity again. I'm too old for those mini skirts. LOL
ReplyDeletelove this giveaway fabric AND your bowls!
ReplyDeleteFlower bowls! so cute and different! thanks for the giveaway!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful projects Charise! I love how DS fabrics look in those bowls. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteI especially love your maxi dress! It's kind of funny, I have about a dozen copies of Stitch but I've never actually made a project out of one of them. I may have to fix that... Congrats on more publications!!!

The bowls are great! Thanks for the chance to win - I LOVE all of Denyse Schmidt's collections, but don't have any Shelburne Falls yet...
ReplyDeleteI love the petal bowls! They look so fun to make!
ReplyDeleteLovely projects, Charise! The bowls are adorable, and it's so great that you're getting back to fashion design! I'm going on a trip, so taking the parts of those bowls along to hand stitch might be a good project for me!
ReplyDeleteSweet designs Charise! I love that Stitch includes clothing with its crafts!
ReplyDeleteLove the petal nesting bowls, Charise. Will you be including the pattern on your website? Would love to purchase it! Also winning the giveaway would be sweet.
ReplyDeleteThose bowls are great and I love this fabric line! Thanks for the chance to win it!

LOVE the bowls they are totally gorgeous. Congrats on the magazine again. The fabric is amazing and I would love to add it to my Medallian (sp?) quilt please please please please.
ReplyDeleteOkay, you've convinced me to go get the magazine. The bowls are wonderful! And, I think my 17 year old daughter would love this dress. She does get a bit anxious when I say that I "can make" her a dress. I think she worries that she might hurt my feeling if she doesn't like it. But hey, if she doesn't, then I can have it! ahhahahah
ReplyDeleteThank you for the opportunity for the fat quarters. I love the Shelburne Falls line. It's been on my "wish list" since it has come out. The problem is deciding what color way is my favorite. Tough decision as they are all lovely. :)
Congratulations on having your designs in Stitch magazine. Both are wonderful. Thanks for the chance to win your giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the bowls! Hope to see it soon in your store. 8)
ReplyDeleteI like the bowls you made. They look like they are do-able! Anxious to see the magazine. Thanks
ReplyDeleteCongrats on being published. Your petal bowls and summer maxi dress are lovely. I will watch out for the magazine, would love to make some of the bowls. The fabric is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteLove the petal bowls!! Beautiful fabric selection. Thanks for the chance to win!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bowls. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteCute bowls! Love how they are so colorful. Haven't tried a maxi dress since grade school. They seem to be too long for me. I remember I stepped on the hems too much! :)
ReplyDeleteSandy A
I'm thinking the bowls made of solid color linen with some random embroidery would be cool to display everyday jewelry.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway.

I love the bowls. I can picture them in Christmas fabric with ribbon candy in them. Thanks for the giveaway. 3bakergirlsgo@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteThe bowls are so lovely. And it's such a nice idea to have different sizes in different colour combinations.
ReplyDeleteWhat cute bowls! I've seen these done with hexagons as well. Very useful items to have around. I've not been able to get out and see a copy of the magazine but hope to do so soon. I think I could get a digital issue, but I don't care for those really. I want them in my hands so I can stroke the pages much like I stroke fabric. It's a tactile thing I guess. Love the dress too! Maybe I could even entice my daughter to make one for the summer. Stranger things have happened you know...
ReplyDeleteI love those fabric bowls. I really want to make some soon!
ReplyDeleteThe bowls are too cute!:)
ReplyDeleteadore those bowls... and the maxi dress is fun!
ReplyDeleteWhat great bowls! And such beautiful fabric!
