I spent most of Saturday’s Sew Day working on the Mod Lights pattern<\/a> from Sew Kind of Wonderful. When I say ‘working’, you have to take that with a slight grain of salt, because I can’t help but change up the pattern.<\/p>\n

In this case, I am not changing a lot. The fabrics are different and the size is slightly different. I want it to fit my buffet and that piece of furniture is a certain size.\u00a0 Otherwise, the layout and the way I put it together was the same.<\/p>\n

I finished the top on Sunday, so now I have to make a back and find some batting.<\/p>\n

I bought the pattern on a whim at Stitch in Ferndale<\/a>.\u00a0 I stopped there, as mentioned<\/a>, on my way back from Portland right before Christmas. I love that store. I would drive up there for a class, if they had one I would enjoy.<\/p>\n

\"Trimming<\/a>

This pattern<\/a> required the small\/mini Quick Curve Ruler<\/a>, which I also bought at Stitch. I was slightly annoyed because I thought I could use the larger version<\/a>, but I ended up happy after seeing the lights develop and how great the motif is.<\/p>\n

As mentioned when I was making MetroScape<\/a>, all the curved portion of the blocks require trimming. You might sincerely dislike trimming, but I like it as it sets me up for success. Some of the curved pieces I sewed together came out super weird looking. If I had tried to sew them together as is, I would have had a disaster on my hands. As it was, I was able to help fill a pet bed<\/a> and be successful.<\/p>\n

The pattern has a couple of different projects included so you are getting some bang for your buck. All of the projects include the light. I got some ideas on other projects in which I could use the light motif, so I might get even more bang.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
