Poppie Cotton Christmas Campaign!


Hi!  Happy Holidays to you!

I had the great opportunity to make a project for Poppie Cotton's Christmas Campaign.

 I chose the theme "Snuggle Up".  I love to snuggle up during these cold winter days with a cup of tea, so I decided to make a Teapot Cozy and Coasters.



The Tea Cozy is from a pattern I designed for Stitch Magazine.  You can find the pattern on the Sew Daily site  HERE 


 
I had a blast picking fabrics from my Poppie Cotton stash.  
I used the new line called "Farmhouse Fancy" designed by Elea Lutz.  (roof, house and lawn), "My Favorite Things" also by Elea Lutz and "Delightful Department Store" by Amy Jordan.

 The cute little cottage on the front of the Tea Cozy is my Cozy Cottage pattern which you can find in my Etsy shop Charise Creates HERE



Everyone needs a cute coaster for their tea cup!  I used the "Teacup" paper piecing pattern which you can find in my Etsy shop HERE



The fabrics used for the tea cups are from the "Rosy Cheeks" line designed by Lori Woods (tea cup main print), and also "Farmhouse Fancy" designed by Elea Lutz. (Tea Cup trim and saucer).

See all the lovely fabrics on Poppie Cotton's website HERE






           I need to go make a cup of steaming hot tea now!  : )  Happy Sewing & Happy Sipping!

The Unofficial Downton Abbey Sews



Stitch magazine published a special issue a few months ago -"The Unofficial Downton Abbey Sews".  
I usually share the projects on my blog as soon as I get the samples back but the samples are on the road : ) 
Amber Eden, editor of Stitch, sent me photos of the magazine shoot so I could share them with you!

The issue is quite lovely and has a nice selection of sewing projects including period clothing updated to wear today - from street chic items to dressier evening wear, quilts and accessories.  
 I am fortunate to have four projects in the magazine!


Sketches for Maid's Nightdress for Downton Abbey Sews

Maid's Nightdress

The first project is the nightgown pictured above.  Inspired from vintage 1920's and 30's night gowns,  the night dress is made out of a beautiful voile from Cloud 9 fabric Palos Verdes line.  The gown has a lovely lace and ribbon detail.



The ladies downstairs must have their trusty apron so I created this update to the maid's apron.   



Designed with gathered pockets, gingham trim and a fun scallop hem.



What is England without afternoon tea?  I designed this tea cozy with Liberty of London fabrics and a fun paper pieced teapot design. 


Last, but definitely not least, is the evening gown.  Made with Robert Kaufmann Radiance Satin and a separate beaded lace capelet.
  
The front straps extend to the back creating a lovely detail!


Happy Sewing!
