Last night we had our first little snow here in Mckinney. Big flakes fell for a couple of hours starting around 9pm and when I woke up on Monday morning, all that was left was this little dusting. I took a couple shots, since its mid-February and this could possibly be our only snowfall of the year!
Yep, that's it.
This weekend, I wanted to try
this heart potholder, from MarthaStewart.com. I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to 'bias tape' and it wasn't perfect. I made two, the first one a trial run and then got the second mailed off to moma for Valentines Day. Fabric from Hobby Lobby and I used 'insul-brite' for the lining....and I think baby rick rack is just adorable on anything!
Basting layers together
Adding bias tape to the top layer
Bias tape around the heart and a zillion pins later
The inspector is checking the quality of my work...
All done - two down and these were so cute, but i'm just not great at base or at the 'V' up top. Check out these
adorable potholders too from Big A Little a..... I love these, she really makes it look easy! The next one I make, i'm totally using the scalloped stitches...so cute!
I've also been working on organizing my fabric...and my sewing room..update coming soon!
