FABRICADABRA is my Sewing Blog, with other bits of interest sprinkled in for fun. I love fabric and creating things from it. FOLLOWING MRS. SUNDBERG is learning what it means to make something for the joy of making it. She's a down-home, comfort-focused, smack dab in the heartland kind of woman, who has a gift for writing, cooking, and generally pointing out the small wonders of every day. THE RUBY THROAT DIARIES documents my passion for these little birds. ©Please respect that everything shared here, including my photos holds personal value and is copyright protected by me, the photographer and writer.

Tiny Sewing


The daughter of a friend is expecting a girl in September. I have never had the pleasure of spoiling a daughter or niece, so this has given me the chance to make girly-girl things, beginning with a pair of baby shoes. A princess should always have lots of slippers. My other goal is to make a very bright baby quilt. I have the top pieced, so I have to add borders, baste it, do some machine quilting and bind it. The difficult part is done. Plus she will have another pair of shoes with a paper pieced top that will replicate the block in the quilt. It's probably better that I didn't have girls to dress...it would have been expensive.
