Micro Mini Sew Along 2023!

It's almost May again, which means the Micro Mini Sew-Along will begin in the coming weeks. It runs May 1st - 31st which gives you plenty of time to whip up a super small adorable creation! This is the 6th year of the sew-along and if you check out the tag #microminisal on Instagram you will see hundreds of micro mini creations that many of my followers have been creating over the past few years.
If you would like to take part in the Sew-Aong (aka SAL), simply follow me on Instagram at @berry_birdy for updates, and #microminisal to see who is participating and their tiny, cute little entries to win some fabulous prizes!

What's a Micro Mini?

It's a teeny, tiny little mini quilted project that is 8" or smaller. (The first year it was 6" and I decided that 8" may be better for those who are trying out tiny sewing for the first time :)). It can be a tiny quilt, a postcard, a luggage tag, anything you would like that is quilted.

How do I participate?

Follow @berry_birdy on Instagram and use #microminisal when posting your amazing small creations so everyone can see, and you will have the chance to win some cool prizes! You can use whatever sewing or quilting technique you wish, with your own pattern, or any design you like. I have also created a Micro Mini Pattern Collection which is available on my Etsy site and Website and will be releasing the second collection in the coming week! Pattern available HERE.

Every week there will be a winners chosen, so you have lots of chances to win some great items.

Your project just needs to be 8" or less in size. You can make one a day, or one a week, or as many as you like! There are no limits to how many you can make and tag #microminisal.

Every week there will be prizes given away to some lucky talented makers by our sponsors. Each week the winners will be chosen by them. There are a variety of items to win, such as fabric, patterns, needle minders, and more! If you are interested in becoming a sponsor for the event, please contact me and let me know :)

Micro Mini Log Cabin Heart Pattern

Love is definitely a funny thing. The dictionary describes it as an intense feeling of deep affection. Wikipedia explains love as ‘encompasses a range of strong and positive emotional and mental states.’ However we try to explain it or understand it, love is very exciting, complicated and even painful. I have spent a good portion of my life dedicated to those I love, by comitting my time, energy, and efforts while creating lasting and meaninful relationships. I have collected these lasting memories that are being stored on the shelves of my life. James M. Barrie said it perfectly; “God gave us memory so that we might have roses in December.” I still remember my first love...Ah! The sweetness of young love! We were in Grade 1, and on Valentine’s Day he presented me with the most wonderful handmade gift, a stuffed heart. It was made of flannel and had white lace around the outer edges. It looked like it was something he made, with hot glue holding it together, although I am sure he ...
