Welcome to SewFunPatterns.com
Home  away from home for sewing and art quilting enthusiasts! 

In addition to raising my twin girls and son, the last 4 years, has been spent collecting vintage patterns and  experimenting with different fiber and mixed media techniques.  I have documented my creative process with digital photos to share the techniques with folks.  I learn much faster by seeing a technique performed then by reading it in a book, and think that many other artists probably learn that way too. 

My goal is to share sewing, quilting, and mixed media info and create a valuable resource for other fiber artists, mixed media artists, doll/toy makers and crafters.  On the eve of my 37th birthday (that I thought was my 39th-a story for another day) I pledge to myself to make 2008 the year to create but more specifically SEW GREEN!  The majority of my creative sewing will be to reuse, recycle, repurpose, redesign, repair and reinvent.  What was old and drab will become FAB!

I have been taking step by step photos of the projects and adding instructions of many of my sewing projets.  Hopefully that will help you if you are interested in making them also.  You can read the online journal and get the free patterns and instructions at
www.allisonraydesigns.com.    

As you may able to tell I LOVE to make fabric postcards.  If you are interested in exchanging with our group postcard pizzazz click the link above.  It is absolutely free to join the yahoo group and so wicked fun. We have small trade groups usually 3-6 so you do not have to make a ton of cards and you can sign up for as many or as few exchanges as your scheule permits. Fabric postcards are much like chocolate you will
NOT be able to make just one!

Our new art quilting website is almost complete you can visit it and see all the photos at
www.sewing365.com.

Do you own a sewing store or quilt shop? Do you need programs or classes for your quilt guild? I am a Husqvarna Viking Freelance Educator and Certified Sulky Teacher.  I  am available to teach any of the machine arts classes in Texas.
