Contempo Blog Hop Day 2: Ruffle Trim Bib from see kate sew


It's Day 2 of the Contempo Studio Blog Hop and Kate from see kate sew is sharing a Ruffle Trim Bib tutorial as part of her annual ruffle series. Kate used a trendy floral from the new Cachet collection to make this bib--perfect for a posh baby! 


Head over to Kate's blog to find her tutorial and be inspired by the rest of her Ruffles Series. For a sneak peek at some of the prints from Cachet and to enter the giveaway for a fat quarter bundle of Cachet, keep reading below.

Hi, I'm Kate! see kate sew started in October 2010 when my baby started sleeping through the night and I was bored! I needed a project, a reason to be inspired and hoped this blog would turn into a place where others might be inspired. So see kate sew was born as a place to my creative life. I mostly post about sewing, crafts, fashion, fabric, design and sometimes about babies. I used the Cachet line in two different scales to make a cute ruffle trim bib! All you need is two fat quarters and some ruffle trim! The ruffle will catch extra splatters and the cute print will be cute even when it is covered in food!

*********************************************************

The Cachet collection gives new meaning to romantic florals. These mod blooms blend a touch of sweetness with contemporary colorways to create a fabric line that works for everything from baby gifts (see Kate's bib!) to pillows, clutches, quilts, and more!

The pink/purple/mocha colorway:

Gift Ideas for Dad: Day 1

How do you honor or celebrate the dads in your life? Father's Day is fast approaching, and we've got a full week of ideas (and manly fabrics) for you!


Neckties seem to be the scapegoat stereotype of men's gift giving. 
"Oh, thanks, dear, another tie...just what I wanted," he says with a sigh. 

But with the right fabric and pattern, you can sew a personalized tie that's sure to be a hit! Forget paisleys or stripes; choose a themed fabric that has meaning for your guy and get started!

Kate over at See Kate Sew has a quick and easy pattern for a trendy skinny tie (pointed or square end, your choice). We loved it, and couldn't resist trying it out in some Tee Time fabric from Kanvas: A gift for the tie wearer and the golfer, all wrapped up in one! 


Find Kate's tutorial here, and don't miss her cool tie-tying animation at the end of the post!


See the entire Tee Time collection on our Facebook page or our website




Be sure to stop back tomorrow for another gift idea and tutorial link for the men in your life!
