Welcome to my blog on sewing machine stitchery. I have produced 3 tutorials that show you some simple but fun ways to use your sewing machine.


Crazy Patches is a variation on the crazy patchwork theme that has been handed down through the generations.

Mosaic is a modern version of crazy patchwork, using tiny pieces of fabric.

Reverse Applique is a variation on the theme of Reverse Appliqué. You may be familiar with the colourful reverse appliqués worked by Cuna Indian women.
