That's a Baby Gift?!

Yep, it is!!  I decided to make a little wall decor. for my neighbors' playroom wall instead of doing the traditional type of baby gift.  They have 3 little boys now including their new baby boy, and the room has lovely blue/green curtains.  I just happened to have this frog fabric, and some green too, sitting here.  So......

It was super easy to make!  I just cut out the triangles with pinking shears.  I used some Maxi Piping I had laying around (see pic below), with ric-rac sewn onto it for the "rope" to hang the flags on.  After laying out the flags on the piping to make sure I had enough room not only for the flags, but also for some little bows at each end, I sewed the ric-rac onto the piping.  Then I sewed the flags on and tied the bows!  That's it!

You can use seam binding, or just clothesline for the "rope".  You could hotglue ric-rac onto it, and hotglue the flags on, and then it becomes a no-sew project.


And Sonnet got busy with the extra frog fabric and made these wonderful little beanbags for the 3 boys!  She, at age 8, is becoming a regular little seamstress!!

Tommy Emmanuel and galloping ideas!

Sing it with me......"don't know much about .............bloggery!!"  This world is new to me, though I've always loved to write.  I have a thousand ideas running around in my head for things I'd like to sew up and sell on Etsy, or on my own website!  I'm thinking of endless party banners and a lot of other things. 

The only other thing rolling around my head is the wonderful sound of Tommy Emmanuel!!  If you haven't heard of him, you NEED TO!!  All the best guitarists are saying he's the best that ever lived!  Here's a link of him doing "Classical Gas"....aw c'mon, it's only 4 minutes!!  You'll LOVE IT!!!
