My friend and I got crafty again tonight. I found a fun bulletin board project in April/May 2007 Sew News (pattern/directions found
here). We stopped at the fabric store a few weeks ago and bought fabric and trims. Mine is for my sewing room; hers is for her new kitchen. The project should probably only take an hour, start to finish. Throw in a rough day and a couple martinis and it will take you three hours!
Raw materials:
Finished projects:
Bonnie's - The tacks were made from rhinestones and some of the daisy trim. The black polka dot fabric is actually a pocket. How cool is that?!:
Linda's - Click on the photo to see the cool double ribbon hangar she made:
Those are so cute! Nothing better than an evening with a friend after a hard day.
ReplyDeleteHey, these came out great - Martini's and all. Love the fabrics you both used. Yours will be perfect in the sewing room. Too cute!!
ReplyDeleteHey, think I'll make one for my classroom. . .
Dear Bonnie:
ReplyDeleteI love all of the cute fabric items you are making and you are really an amazing seamstress, however what are we??? Chopped liver? We miss you. Please don't foget us.
- Your knitting needles and yarn

Those turned out great and the trim is so straight in spite of the Martini's
ReplyDeleteDear Needles & Yarn:
ReplyDeleteDon't despair my little lovelies. I haven't abandoned you. It's just that your cousins - fabric and thread - are so much faster than you. You guys need to pick up the pace.
But I still love you and will post some pictures of you very soon. Perhaps even tonight.
Love,
Bonnie
Gosh..I want to come to your next craft night!!! I love what you both made. Looks like you had a great weekend visiting your daughter! Fun to be with her on her birthday!!
