“Want to play with Sweet Orchard?”
My stop on Sweet Orchard Blog Tour has all started with this one line.
I have tasted Sedef ‘s first collection Sweet Orchard last spring for her Spring Quilt market booth.
Oh, how sweet they were! I wished I had more!!
She let me taste only a bite of each piece and I had to be very careful not to waste a bit.
I was like a six year girl browsing at See’s Candy shop and you know they offer you only a piece of chocolate for free and you have to be with your mama for more. I had to be good and patient until Sedef came to me and asked,
“Want to play with Sweet Orchard?”
Oh yes, please!! (many dancing emojis here please)
Who wouldn’t want a basket full of treats instead of a bit? 🙂
I have enjoyed all 21 fabrics laying on my fabric shelf and secretly loved her clever cheater print a little more.
I hope we all keep that secret; shhh….please do not bring that word, cheater prints. 😉
The typewriter illustration is from the book, Sew illustrated .
My Korean blog friend sent me a handmade charm while I was making this bag.
What a perfect match!
My second make is a lunch bag that I twisted a little bit with my Drawstring bag from my book as well.
I think Sedef’s Sweet Orchard , the book Sew Illustrated and my Claire bear will live happily after. 🙂
Sweet Orchard is available at Ministry of Fabric and Fat Quarter Shop.
I hope you enjoyed my Sweet Orchard projects. Check the list of all the blogs to visit and the dates of this tour. There are so many talented sewists and beautiful projects! I promise you won’t want to miss a single day of it!

I just found your blog. I love cute things with pretty fabric. I have two girls. Oh the fun. They are grown now, and I have one little grand daughter. God has blessed me.
I would love to subscribe to your blog feed
Hi, Rosemary,
How beautiful name you have! And it’s my lucky day to be found by you!! Your grand daughter will make a seamstress granny busy. 🙂
What can I say? Everything is so gorgeous and well made. Love how you incorporated designs from you book on these projects!
Hi, Elise,
Thank you and you just read my mind!
I tried to show may ways to adapt the original designs to the reader’s own style. That’s the fun way of sewing. 🙂
I love all the things you have made, such gorgeous fabric and your amazing skills ✂So well done.
The lunch bag is my favourite, the mix of the linen and print finished beautifully with your little sewillistrated details.
