I decided to make cute little Valentine gift bags.
Here is the old bed skirt and what became of it.....
 |
| I used the seam ripper and brute force to undo the seams! Such fun. |
 |
| Iron and fold in half and iron again. |
 |
| Re-purpose a Christmas card as a measuring tool. |
 |
| Cut into desired widths. My desire was to keep it simple...thus, the Christmas card. |
 |
| I ironed a finished hem |
 |
| A contrasting thread color was used. Red of course, for Valentines Day! |
 |
| Side seams sewn in white. |
 |
| Got out my trusty pad and stamp.... |
 |
| Stamp away! |
 |
| Some red string for a tie. |
 |
| And look! I even stamped the back! |

Bravo! What an awesome job. From bed skirt to totally cute chic little goodie bags! The stamp is so cute. Need to look for a sewing machine this garage sale season. Can't thread them for the life of me, or sew for that matter, but projects like this are just so so inspiring!

ReplyDeleteAdorable. Ok I'm not sure which rock I've been living under but I have never seen stamping on fabric before!! I'm loving it and want to try it asap. Do you have to use a special type of ink?
