Sugar and Spice


Introducing my new pillow pattern.............  Sugar and Spice

Buy the pattern from my Cajame Creations  shop on Folksy

A charming pillow consisting of paper-pieced cupcakes, surrounded by the childhood rhyme of "Sugar and Spice and all things nice, that's what little girls are made of".

With gingham cup-cases and pastel icing, each cake has been decorated with  embroidery.


There are two versions of swirly icing, and one that looks as though it's been sprinkled in hundreds and thousands.


Simply quilted, the envelope style pillow back is in two of the fabrics used - with the addition of Sugar and Spice across the fold of the opening.


With little yo-yo's as the cherries on the top of the cake, and  matching binding completing the outer edge, this is a reasonably quick project to complete.  Suitable for all levels of sewing skill, and possible for anyone who is capable of sewing a straight line.  The paper-pieced cupcakes may be sewn by machine or hand, making it a pleasant portable project. 

Measuring 19 inches square, the finished cushion is cute, large, cuddly, and the perfect accessory for a girl who loves cup cakes.  (The cushion pads are readily available online at a very reasonable cost).

The pattern, which will be available on Folksy will be £6 including postage.  The pattern includes templates for the paper-piecing, ready to trace wording and full instructions.

A Cajame original.

Autumn Giveaway Time

I'm more than a trifle ticked off with Blogger. My post of yesterday has vanished into thin air during the day - and I haven't been near a computer. It was the first time I'd entered a post using the new interface, and I was liking the way it worked. Shame I didn't try a short post first, but no...... dibble decided to do a long article didn't she! Sniff. Back to the old Blogger me thinks. Anyways... I was thinking that it's been such a dismal few days - why not think of something to brighten the mood. Why not have a little giveaway? Trying to be a little different - I've come up with a little competition. It's quite simple....... How many buttons in the jar? I've no idea myself, so it will be interesting to find out. To give you something on which to base your guess, I can tell you I am able to hold the little jar comfortably in one hand. Also I have used a few of the buttons so the jar isn't quite full. So.... What do y...

Hexagon hand-towel

A super quick make this afternoon - a hand towel for the kitchen.  I had no idea I was going to do this until I was rummaging through my fabric stash and found this piece of heavy linen that has been forgotten for years.   It's the perfect weight for a hand towel and I've managed to use up a few more scraps to match the colours of my kitchen. The little piece of aqua fabric is one of my favourites.  Had it for years and my supply has been dwindling, finally down to the last little piece.   It was a quick pin-down and run along with the machine. As you can see, a close inspection of my hexagon shows rather uneven stitches.   I blame it on my eyesight (and sewing whilst watching the TV).  Pinned into place and then edged around carefully with the machine.   I've even managed to add a little loop which is the tiniest scrap of ribbon I spied in the corner of my sewing table just as I was stitching to the corner.... I'll have that...

Valentine Kisses

It's not long to February 14th now - so today I am sharing some vintage Valentine graphics.  As you know, as these are vintage artwork pieces, they may be freely used in whatever project takes your fancy.  If you feel inspired by any of these items, do pop over to the  Graphics Fairy  website.  Here you can find oodles more vintage loveliness.  Every day a new vintage piece is shared..... it really is a great blog to follow. Here's a few more of my Valentine favourites..... The three images above would be perfect printed onto stout card stock and threaded together to form a vintage banner.  How lovely to place in the window of a period property.  Or even better, printed onto fabric, and sewn onto a length of pretty lace.  Beautiful! Such a gorgeous little picture.  The original may be a lot larger, so it's worth checking with  Graphics Fairy  if you like this image.  There are so many items on th...
