Sunday Sweets: Sew Much Fun

Did you know September is National Sewing Month? 

The trouble is, I can't sew. I mean, REALLY can't sew. 

Still, it's Sewing's Month, so let's try to make something, shall we?

We'll make a quilt!

(Cartoon Cake Village, Italy)

Don't you love all the pretty pastels?

You're right. It is kind of hot to make a quilt...

I know! Let's make a gorgeous, flowy dress:

(Soheilarizi, Iran)

That'll be perfect for these last days of summer.

First, we need to gather our supplies.

(Cookie Connection member Royalbites, Malaysia)

What? I get hungry when I craft. Besides, who'd turn down these beauties? 

What else?...

Oh! A sewing machine!

(Irina Svetlichenko, Ukraine)

Wow, that's beautiful. It looks like antique porcelain.

 I'm a klutz, though. And a sewing novice.

So maybe we should pick something a little sturdier.

(Rosebud Cakes, now closed)

Perfect!

Now, we're going to need some fabric.

How about this green, fluttery one?

(Cake Heart, Canada)

Look how beautifully that drapes!

Oh, you'd rather have pink?

How about this?

(Cherry Tree Cakerie, United Kingdom)

You're right, this'll be perfect for a dress.

OK, we still need a sewing kit.

(By hospital chef Meg Davis, North Devon, England. Read more here.)

That's impressive.

You've done this before, haven't you?

Do we need any buttons?

(By That Baking Girl, Switzerland)

Because these are adorable.

Let's see... what else?

Maybe one of those dress form thingies?

(By Cakes Decor member Evgenia Vinokurova, Russia)

Amazing! And it looks like you started without me.

Hey, that's OK. I'm just glad one of us knows how to sew.

Hang on, what do you mean, you don't?

So...

We've gonna to need a lot more help.

(whistles shrilly)

Hey, guys! Can you lend us a hand?

(The Clever Little Cupcake Company, United Kingdom)

See, I told you we'd be done in no time.

Happy National Sewing Month, everyone! 

I hope it's Sweet!

P.S. Since I don't sew I also don't have one of those fancy embroidery machines, but if I did, I'd use this to transfer my pattern files:

"Sew Pro" 4GB Flash Drive for embroidery/sewing machines

It's just so cute! Plus you'd always know which drive it is.

PERILOUS PERIL

It's Friday the 13th, and wreckerators are up to their old tricks:

 Cakes that stare:

Cakes that WOULD stare if they had a face:

Menacing snowman heads playing golf:

(I think?)

Gratuitous use of berry topping:

(Is that a number 3 or a heart? And why does it scare me either way?)

Alarming cakes for 6-year-olds:

(When I was 6 I liked Winnie-the-Pooh, is all I'm saying.)

And of course, HORSE HEADS FOR EVERYONE.

You get a creepy horse head, and YOU get a creepy horse head, EVERYBODY GETS A CREEPY HORSE HEEEEAD!!

Happy Friday the 13th, y'all. Watch out for suspiciously large bakery boxes, k?

And thanks to Roberta, Danielle M., Karen M., Katie N., Anna B., & Maja V. for being the only neigh-sayer.

P.S. I feel duty-bound to inform you that these are less than $13 on Amazon:

Creepy Horse Head Mask

Do with this information what you will. :D
