that they wish they had there.
I also realized that I didn’t have the heart to disturb the kitty’s nap to make the bed for this picture, so I didn’t.I had originally wanted to make this a ruffly bed skirt.
I took one of the strips of fabric and hand-sewed some big, one inch stitches in it, then I pulled the thread tight to make it ruffle up..The thing is, when I brought this strip upstairs to hold it up to the bed and see how it would look, I quickly realized that this whole ruffle thing was going to be a little too frou frou for Kennedy.So basically half of all of those millions of strips of fabric that I’d ripped, and ironed, and sewn were totally not needed.. Oh well!
You live you learn!.I just took my strips up to the bed, got out the hot glue gun and started sticking them right on to the base fabric that I’d already put up there.. You can see that I really didn’t worry about how straight my fabric strips are.
And now that the skirt is done, you’d never know!
Well, YOU know, but only cause I just told you.And it’s not just me!
My daughter had a friend over for a sleepover the other day and I heard her say “Wow!Where did you get those?
What do you mean you made them?!” So yeah, if a nine year old is excited about one of my crafts, then that’s a big deal..
