Dear Liza,
One of my recent sewing projects is a new decoration for Auntie Bridgett’s booth where she sells her Auntie Beeswax books, buttons, and artwork.
We chose fabrics in colors that Auntie Beeswax wears… orange, green, and blue. Some of these were fabrics I’d had for years. The orange cat print had been kitchen curtains in our house in Salinas, and I made the stripes out of scraps from other projects. We did buy a few new fabrics at Bolt, and added them to the collection.
Once we chose the fabrics, they needed to be cut into triangles, sewn, turned, and pressed to make nice sharp flags.
I love the way all the colors work together!
Next, all the flags needed to be sewn to a length of seam binding to make a long banner. This got tricky! The seam binding was so narrow, it took some careful maneuvering and pinning to get it put together.
But now it is done and ready for het next art fair, which is the Art Picnic on September 16th.
Love,
Grandma Judy
Dear Liza
