Sewing is My Happy Place Stitching Pattern

Have you heard of mesh stitchable fabric? Me either. I was thrilled to get my hands on this stuff and give it a try. I designed a “Sewing is My Happy Place” pattern and decided to give it a try on this mesh…I love how it turned out. I even had the guts to iron and sew on the mesh – and it worked!

Sewing is My Happy Place free pattern by U Create

 

SUPPLIES USED:

  • DMC mesh fabric
  • DMC 959 – aqua sewing machine
  • DMC 304 – red thread in sewing machine
  • DMC 414 – gray for parts of sewing machine
  • DMC 3371 – black for letters
  • fabric scraps (I used Bonnie and Camille basics moda fabric)
  • needle
  • black marker
  • 8×10 frame
  • “Sewing is My Happy Place” free pattern download Sewing is My Happy Place stitchable pattern

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Trace image onto mesh fabric using a transfer pen or a marker.Sewing Machine stitching pattern by U Create
  2. Stitch the design using DMC floss in the above colors. I used 3 strands each.Sewing is My Happy Place Tutorial and free pattern
  3. Sew your fabric squares together into strips. Next, attach them to the mesh. I used a zig-zag stitch on my sewing machine and it worked great. Iron your seams so they lays flat.Sewing is My Happy Place by U Create
  4. Trim to fit an 8×10 picture and it’s ready to frame and display!

    It’s been awhile since I was in the stitchery department
    of a craft store. I was an avid needlepointer for years
    but have gotten away from it. I love the idea of this
    stretchable mesh – lots of changes since I was
    last shopping in the fabric section.. The earrings
    are darling and would be a good start back to
    stitching. I think I would
    start with them and hope to get my
    stitching groove back.
    thanks for sharing.

    I’ve been dying to try the cork fabric ever since I saw a bunny rabbit pattern made using it. That’s what I’d make first with the prize!

    I’d love to create a wall hanging for our Grammy and Grandpa. He’s battling lymphoma and his kidneys are failing. They live in AZ and we’re in MI, so I’d send them something so that when they looked at it, they’d know we are thinking of them!

    I’ve never tried the cork or the mesh. I would love to play around with both. The mesh could be a cute accent piece to a mesh beach tote. I’ve seen some made from window screen and I think this would match that pretty well.
