Husqvarna Viking is giving away an Emerald 116I don’t watch football, but I hear that there was a sewing machine on the sidelines of this year’s Iron Bowl.  An Emerald 116 by Husqvarna Viking.  It came through in a pinch and made some emergency repairs to a player’s jersey.  And it’s headed to the BCS National Championship on January 6.

To celebrate, Husqvarna Viking is giving away an Emerald 116 in their Countdown to Kickoff: HUSQVARNA VIKING® Giveaway.

To enter, go to Husqvarna Viking USA’s Facebook page and answer this question:  “What is the most unusual place or project you have sewn with your machine?”  Husqvarna Viking USA will select one comment at random on game day as the winner.

Comments

  1. I made a replacement top for a pop up camping trailer. This was many years ago when I was a teenager. It was a very heavy project to work on with a domestic sewing machine.

  2. I once took my sewing machine on a cross country road trip to visit family in another state. I thought I might need it to make something, and I did. I would take it camping if I could plug it into a tree.

  3. I was making costumes for my granddaughters play at school called Beauty is the beast and my granddaughter was beauty i had to make all her costumes and two boys shirts at the school most of the time on the floor but very rewarding for me to see my work up there

  4. The most unusual thing I’ve made is probably a band/cover for magnets that we used on my daughter that had migranes. The magnets needed to be held on her head so I made a band they would fit in that had a velcro closure. She used this band for several years.

  6. Made a teddy bear in 1/2 hour for my mom while she was in home hospice to keep her from pulling on her oxygen hose, it worked! It kept her otherwise occupied and kept her busy until she passed away. TGFTB. (Thank God for Teddy Bears!)

  10. I went to visit my daughter in Wyoming who just moved her family into a new home. I took my very old 1985 Viking with me. We made baby blankets for the new baby of course, and curtains for the new house!!!!!

15 Dog Poop Bag Carriers You Can Sew For Your Dog

If you’re a dog owner, then you know the inevitable truth — what goes in, must come out. And in my house, that truth has a name: Aloo, our lovable, curly-coated Labradoodle who has made it his mission to poop like a champion. Seriously, this dog is a pooping machine.

In our area, not picking up after your dog isn’t just frowned upon — it’s illegal. So, being a responsible (and poop-weary) pet parent, I quickly realized we needed a poop bag holder that was not only practical but also cute and handmade. That’s when I went down the rabbit hole (pun intended?) of DIY dog poop bag holders — and now I’m sharing my favorite 15 free sewing patterns and tutorials with you!

Whether you’re after something sleek and minimalist or a treat-pocket combo pouch for walkies, this list has something for every type of sewist and pup. Bonus: most of these projects are total scrap busters too!
