Wearing the Green
St Patrick's Day is nearly upon us falling this year on Saturday, March 17. As you may know, it's a tradition on St. Patrick's Day to wear something green or involving shamrocks. This tradition is known as the “wearing of the green” and dates back hundreds of years. We've decided to put together an updated collection of free St Patrick's Day Sewing Projects for 2018 to help you find your green this year!
My Connection to St Patrick
My Connection to St PatrickI mentioned last year my husband's family was originally from Ireland which is why St. Patrick's Day is always a fun holiday for us. His family hails from the once-pirate-infested wild west coast of Ireland. If you want to read an interesting history of that region, check out this article: When pirates ruled: Ireland's wild Atlantic coast
A few years ago, we were lucky enough to go and visit their ancestral home in Westport, County Mayo, on the beautiful west coast of Ireland. We had a wonderful time there and Ireland should definitely be on your list of places to visit, especially if you can trace any ancestors there. Westport is situated on Clew Bay where Grace O'Malley, the pirate queen in the linked article was born in 1530.

Oh thank you for such great ideas for St Patrick’s Day. It was my birthday so I’m always looking for something to use to celebrate. Some of my ancestors came from Macroom, Co Cork. Getting my DNA done but I don’t expect any surprises. Mother’s family from Ireland and father’s family from England. No big deal there. I’m going to start making some of these things for next year and I’ll be ready before the day. Thank you again.
Thank you so much for your tips and wonderful ideas. I enjoy them tremendously!
How fun. Thanks for sharing. My family is from Ireland as well. County Cork in the south. This list will come in handy!
