I {LOVE} Fabric!

I know that I warned up but be prepared:)  When the fabric went on sale I stocked up (yes, I mean STOCKED up!!!)  I'm hoping to make a quilt with the fabric but in the meantime I"ve had fun making projects for friends with the fabric.

This is the box that I used to house the gift.  It was quick and simple to put together.  The bottom of the box is 8 1/2 x 11 scored at 1 inch in all the way around.  The lid is also 8 1/2 x 11 scored at 7/8 all the way around.  This just makes the lid a smidge taller to go over the bottom of the box.  Then I just put on some DSP and tied a ribbon belly band with the fabric....quick, simple and FUN!

Now, onto my favourite part.  I wish I could share with you the "full" photo as I had Mark model the apron for you.  He was so funny and full of expression, but made me promise not to show "those" modelling pictures.  So for now, you get the leg shot:)

The base of the apron was simply made with one piece of the fabric right from the package, no cutting, no trimming just the extra large fat quarter size!  Fun eh?

Then the bottom of the apron is made using the Table Trimmings (or Table Settings?) die.  You know, the one with the cupcake wrapper.  I cut 3 1/2 cupcake wrappers per row.  They are curved when cut so when I sewed it together, I pinned them flat which caused them to ruffle!  Perfect!!!

I'm by no means a seamstress (actually I'm sure it would make a seamstress squirmy checking out my sewing job) but I'm getting better and LOVING it!!!  Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you have a GREAT day!

Take care,

Heather

Great projects Heather. I have one package each of the fabric sitting unopened. Now I wish I had stocked up too!

Love the apron Heather! I'm really going to have to get out of my comfort zone and start using the sewing machine Santa brought me for Christmas last year.
Hugs, Josee
