I thought it was time I got back to the basics. Caught Red Threaded started from this idea that I could make things for my kids. Pouring love into the things that would surround Jack and Avia in their early days, and for many years to come as I've expanded the list of things I make to meet their needs along the way. When it all began, I was sewing by hand. I could count the number of burp clothes made by how long the kids would nap. If they nap for 2 hours, I can make this many burp clothes, or I can finish this much of a quilt. I had a sewing machine, but I preferred hand stitches. It was due in part to having a very basic, not so heavy-duty or user-friendly sewing machine. The other part was that I must have lost my mind in the midst of sleep deprivation.
About five years ago, I bought a new sewing machine. I'm still so amazed by what it can do! The time savings alone makes it worth its weight in gold. My machine isn't available on Amazon, but the latest version of it is! Click on the photo below if you're interested in learning more about this wondrous piece of equipment.
My machine is actually the XR1300, and it's not a Project Runway model. Having had an inexpensive Walmart version previously, it's worth it to spend the extra fifty dollars.
As for fabrics, check out
Caught Red Threaded's Top 5 Fabric Resources. I wrote this blog three years ago, but it still holds true today. The only other resource I use for fabric is
Spoonflower. I have a couple patterns that I designed that I use in various products I produce under Caught Red Threaded. Spoonflower, although on the pricey side, is a great way to see your dreams come to life, and in a short time.
All of the products above, are a sampling of what's currently available from Caught Red Threaded. Their captions link to their sale pages. I love making these items, but even more than that, I love sharing them with all of you! Do not hesitate to buy them. It won't ruin this blog, I promise.
I mentioned that I was excited to get back to the basics. I've been far removed from babyhood in my own home, and it hasn't really been on my radar to make things for infants and toddlers. But there's clearly still a market for it. I'm going to be an Auntie (for the sixth time!) this Spring, and it has me thinking about all of the great things I used to make for my own kiddos. Below are a few of the items recently added to Caught Red Threaded's listings:
