Sometimes a few scraps turn into something… more… What exactly? No clue yet. But that’s part of the fun of making abstract fabric - just start and see where it goes. Maybe a new tote. Something fun to wear? Jason made a joke that at this rate we’d have a new quilt by Monday. A challenge? Maybe… stay tuned. 📺 . . . #sewing #sewistsofinstagram #fiberart #fiberartist #seattlefiberarts #quilting #stayhome #stayhomeandsew #lifewiththeshibaguyz #quiltersofinstagram #genderfreefashion #nowaste #nowastefashion (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_JcJlTJNk2/?igshid=pa9rvror6y0b

Mail Call!📬 Today’s mail was particularly special and not just because we found this surprise bundle of color hiding in the packing. When your friends in the creative community know you all too well… right?🙌🏼 Thank you to Cheryl of @theyankeequilter for our fabric surprise of these FAB prints from @andoverfabrics 💖 You definitely know the way to a stitcher’s heart! Yes, we already have a project (or three) in mind for these. The rest of the package? We’ll give y’all a sneak peek tomorrow.👀 #whyistherenosewingemoji 🤣 . . . #lifewiththeshibaguyz #seattlefiberarts #creativecommunity #sewing #andoverfabrics #handsewing #sewersofinstagram #handsewersofinstagram #renaissancecrafters #renaissancecrafter #menwhosew #guyswhosew #makersgonnamake #fabric #quiltingfabric (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnFZzcWn5NO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=8naopi26zebe

Progress on the Six Million Stitches Boro Bag… okay… so we’re still working on the name (see previous post about same bag and chime in with your name ideas). Loving how this spiral motif turned out and this pocket is just about ready to be attached to the outside of the bag. Looks like we’ll still be working on this bag while we’re teaching our boro and Sashiko class at Camp STITCHES Vermont next week. Along with the salvaged denim and random fabric from our inventory are those FAB little charms of Couture Cotton by @michaelmillerfabrics ✨ . . . #handsewing #handembroidery #modernboro #japaneseboro #sashiko #campstitches #campstitchesvermont #embroidery #seattleartist #seattlefiberarts #fiberarts #seattleartist #guyswhosew #menwhosew #sashikostitching (at Seattle, Washington)

Just when we were feeling like the only crossover crafting people at Quilt Market, look who we ran into! Total fanboy moment when @bluemoonfiberarts came up and said hey. We’ve wanted to work on a collaboration with this rock star artist and business person for years and now… stay tuned!🤫#fanboy #OMGOMGOMG ✨ . . . #quiltmarket #fiberartist #yarndyer #fabricdyer #renaissancecrafters #crosscraft #maker #makersgonnamake #seattlefiberarts #quilting #sewing #guyswhosew #menwhosew #menwhoknit #menwhocrochet (at Portland, Oregon)

Color!! Repurposing an old grocery tote bag with some boro style patchwork and sashiko. Everything is basted into place for the two panels including a pocket that we’ll add a zipper to later. We needed something to carry our stuff around in at Camp STITCHES Vermont so we’re making our own customized with the features we want. Love how versatile this technique is!💖Click on the photo to see products we’re using for this project.✂️ . . . #shibaguyzdesignz #shibaguyz #boro #japaneseboro #modernjapaneseboro #modernboro #patchwork #patchworkquilting #handsewing #handmade #sewing #japaneseembroidery #handembroidery #seattleartist #seattlefiberarts #fiberartist #fiberartnow #aurifil #cloverambassador #ottliteambassador #stitchesevents #campstitches #campstitchesvermont #guyswhosew #menwhosew #makersgonnamake (at Seattle, Washington)
