It’s our “Sewing Machine Day” inspired bridal shower. Really, by now you must know…I can use any excuse to inspire and plan a party!
Sewn Invitations
Left to right: Etsy shop - olivedaisy, Etsy shop - creativeutility
Etsy.com has got to be my favorite handmade shopping site. Where else could you find sewn invitations? From fabric and paper sewn onto a card, to hand-stitched messages of ‘happily-ever-after’ – this is surely a glimpse into all the sewn surprises the shower will hold for guests!
Bride’s Corsage (or in this case, Bride’s Shoe Pin or Brooch)
Etsy shop - sofisticata
It’s just a little something for the bride-to-be to remind her she’s the guest of honor!
Garland & Pennants

This has got to be the hottest look this season! Hot because fabric and scrapbooking paper is so easy to mix and match with your color or theme…AND…it’s a quilter’s (fabric pennants) and scrapbooker’s (paper garland) dream come true!
Tablerunners
Etsy shop - paulaanderika
Need a few more excuses to prompt you to turn on the machine? Change the look of any table with a simple runner – and without having to worry about find the right color tablecloth!
Monogrammed Towels in a Towel Cake
Another excuse to dust off your sewing machine…monogrammed towels. If just towels aren’t enough, try rolling them into a towel cake and use as a gift, decoration and centerpiece.
Favor Tags

This sewn stuff could go on and on….they’re just so many darn cute things out there! Who knew you could sew tags?
Sewn Memory Book
Etsy shop - iheartbooks22
Last but not least, a memory book to store all the photos and mementos!
I hope you’ve been inspired to pull out the sewing machine. Or, if you’re not like me, started looking for friends who can sew!
