Sweet Julia Boutique: July 2016

Hello!

Well, today is an exciting day! The Mermaid tail pattern by Made for Mermaids is being featured at fabric.com and I couldn't be happier. Megan, designer and fashion guru at Made for Mermaids allowed me to use her mermaid blanket pattern for a fun tutorial that includes a lined blanket, perfect for those times when you want to use quilting cotton (check out Michael Miller's fairy frost!)

The tutorial for a lined blanket is featured in fabric.com's website HERE

For the original tutorial, go to Made for Mermaids website HERE

For The Made for Mermaids pattern group on Facebook, follow the link HERE, the group is full of information, support, contests and freebies for all Made for Mermaids fans!

And, if you need a video tutorial on how to create the original blanket, Megan has created a video just for you!

This is a really fun project, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Many thanks to Megan for allowing me (and fabric.com) to share her pattern and also for taking fabulous photos of my girl and hers together, they are the cutest little mermaids!

Love,

Paola

Hello!

So, this is where it all happens! I finally decided to quick my children out of the game room we have on the second floor and took it over with all my sewing treasures, I never realized how much stuff I had until it finally happened. I am beyond pleased with having a dedicated space, hardwood floors make it so much easier to clean up after I'm finished and all the light I get during the day is just lovely. The only downside is that it gets hot, I mean, I call my sewing area the sweat shop during the Texas summer for a reason, but the ceiling fan sure helps. So here is my photo overload because I am really super happy with the space. Enjoy!
