Let me start this week by saying I am blown away! by the response Inspire Us Thursdays has received. When I was first dreaming of this party I was simultaneously excited about a fiber-niche party and worried that I would be lucky to have half a dozen links because of the narrow topic. Thank you for putting my fears to rest. And now you have to keep coming back because not only do we have a great deal of links, but all of the work being shared is fabulous!
Check out this amazing doodle! Daryl of Patchouli Moon Studio used a fabric pen to embellish fabric that became quilted pieces. Go check it out, and don't be surprised if someday you see me use this technique.

The Soleil Dress had a very successful blog hop recently. But it's this version, by Carin of Art Bella, that makes me want to buy the pattern.
When I first saw this egg I thought it was a sewing project with lovely fabric. Nope. That "fabric" is all hand embroidered! Visit France at France Nadeu to see it close up and get a link to the pattern so you can stitch it yourself.
Finally this neutral with a pop of yellow caught my eye, natch. Even more so because Jess at Gracious Threads sewed it from an Ottobre jacket pattern. I'm currently sewing a McCall's coat pattern because I was a bit intimidated by the idea of doing one from Ottobre. I'm impressed.

I love a good Link Party. Perusing link parties is how I found most of the sewing-bloggers I now follow, led me to learn sewing tips and tricks I never would have discovered otherwise, and first introduced me to the world of self-published sewing patterns. My favorite parties are inevitably the ones populated by lots of sewing, or knitting, or cross-stitch, or crochet; but those links can be hard to find through all the food and decor and blogging tips these days. So rather than endlessly search the interwebs for those rare link parties full of fabric and yarn and embroidery floss, I thought I'd bring it to my little corner of the web. And now it's time to link up!
GUIDELINES:
Keep to the medium of fiber.
Basically anything with fabric, thread, floss, or yarn is welcome—sewing of all kinds (sew), cross-stitch & embroidery (needle), knitting (stitch), crochet (hook).
Showcase your own work.
Please no link parties, giveaways, or advertisements.Upload up to three links per week.
You can also link-up images from Flickr and Pinterst (as long as it's your own uploaded work); so even if you don't have a blog of your own, you can still inspire others and get feedback by sharing your work with us here. But please avoid repetition from week to week, or even within the same week.
That's it! Easy as pie. If you see something you like, be polite and let the creator know with comments on their blog. Now let's get started...

You should really see all that goes into each project!
From my model preferring to dance than pose for pics, to my stress every time I find myself in the button aisle. Daily updates on Instagram (and Flickr) of works-in-progress will give you that behind the scenes view you’re looking for, and sneak peeks of First Tuesday Tutorials, too.
