Show 1813 has a travel theme. This week you'll learn how to make a wallet from cork. Perfect for every time you travel with your cash and cards. Then, you'll see a great gift tag idea that could double as a luggage tag. At the end you'll see the Angela's completed trench coat, probably one of the best coats you could ever own for traveling near or far. Join me as I give you preview of each of the three segments in show 1813.
Cork, cork, and more cork! Have you stitched anything with this fabulous material? Here are some of the fine features of cork:
- It's a renewable resource.
- A great alternative to leather.
- Comes in many colors and is just plain beautiful!
Watch as Nicole Neales creates a high-quality wallet. You’d swear it had to come from a chic accessory shop! Her bi-fold wallet only requires a fat quarter sized piece of cork to complete. You'll find Nicole’s’ instructions when you CLICK HERE.
Be sure to take a look at all the offerings from Fabric Funhouse. Their colors are luscious and their quality is superb! You’ll find lots of patterns designed for cork when you visit their website HERE.
Next up is Emily Thompson with hand crafted fabric tags.
She mentions several ways to add the lettering and then demonstrates an embroidery option on the machine. Emily provided a gift tag template that you can download when you CLICK HERE.
Customizing projects with crisp, clear, and durable embroidered lettering is one of my all-time, favorite embroidery options. Be it labels, greeting cards, or simple gift tags, the ability to "say it with stitches" is fun, fast, and easy. If you’d like some additional tips for stitching tiny lettering fonts, I invite you CLICK HERE and take a look at this recent post I contributed to the Brother Stitching Sewcial blog.
Last but not least, if you want to try your hand at an in-the-hoop machine embroidered gift tag, CLICK HERE for to yet another post. While I designed this one as a holiday tag, you can certainly customize it for any occasion

Angela finishes up the show with with buttons and buttonholes during the last segment for her Chloe trench coat.
Anyone here have a fear of buttonholes? I admit, I avoided them for quite a few years when I didn’t own a machine with stellar quality buttonhole stitches. It was a long time ago but I sewed mostly on industrial machines at that time and only had a low-end zigzag machine. When I was really young, I made buttonholes on an old straight stitch machine that had a gizmo for making many sizes of buttonholes. It did a good job, but took a ridiculous amount of time to set up and test before you could even think about making buttonholes. But ahhh, today's one-step buttonhole attachments make stitching buttonholes a breeze! And yes, I do have a link to a tip sheet for buttonholes as well. CLICK HERE for some tips for stitching beautiful buttonholes.
That wraps up series 1800! Next week series 1900 will unfold one week at a time. I promise you, there’s a lot to love in this next series! Stay tuned for a week by week preview with extra information and tips to keep you happily sewing in your own sewing space.
