Sew Fun to Try Something Different

Hey Scrap Fans! Today's focus is on sewing. There are lots of different ways to add sewing to your pages, but no matter what way you choose, sewing can add that extra special touch you are looking for to take your pages to the next level. 

On this layout, created with the February Sugar Rush kit from Studio Calico, I used my machine to stitch down these vellum hearts and kraft arrows to form a vertical border. 


I created a background using punched stars and stitching them in rows on kraft cardstock. 


On this layout I shared in May, I stitched my misted paper to the background paper and pulled up the edges slightly to create a distressed look. 


I used my sewing machine to sew through vellum letters and elements to not only adhere them to the page, but to add visual interest as well. 


I used the embroidery templates from Amy Tangerine to trace embellishments on this layout and then hand stitched them with embroidery floss. 


And finally, I created a hand stitched border on this layout by piercing around the paper at even intervals and sewing with a needle and floss. 

There are so many ways to add stitching to your scrapbook pages. Whether you have a machine or just a needle and thread, the possibilities are limitless. I hope you've enjoyed these layouts and are inspired to try sewing on your pages. Until next time, Happy Scrappin'!!
