HI stampers!!!!! Do you remember me telling you I was going to set up a small sewing corner in my room???? Well, one thing I can never keep track of at home when I am sewing is little scissors.....so I put on my thinking cap and went to work on an idea. lol!
Wanna see what I came up with?
Picture this with a brand new pair of paper snips....just for my sewing area. They are on the way :) real shocker, huh? hehehehe!!!
I cut coordinating pieces of fabric - SO easy with our Designer Fabric packages!!! Of sourse I had to use Sweet Stitches :) Oh yeah! I didn't say how I cut it, did I? I used the petal cone die and my big shot! Sweet, huh? I put two pieces together and sewed them up, creating a little place for my new snips. Don't you just LOVE that pom pom trim????? I absolutely do - I sure hope it continues in the next cattie.
I used a piece of dafffodil delight satin ribbon to create a hanger and tacked it on the back.....but I don't like to see "stuff".......so I sewed a pumpkin pie button over the stitches - viola! No sewing stitches! lol!!!
Now, you know I couldn't adorn the back and not add some sweetness to the front. So I decided to push a fabric designer brad through. Well - I actually didn't just "push" it through, per say......I used a hand held punch and punched a hole and then put my brad in it. I then stitched two bright buttons around that and tracked the front flap down to the cone.
I haven't received any love here in a while - leave me a comment letting me know what you think. I don't bite ;)
