(Yes, that is my ground beef thawing on the counter in the background!--sorry)
Here is a closeup of one of the "fussy cut" ones.
I like how I was able to get the words "Hawaiian Girls" across the bottom. I'm really tickled with how these came out and plan to make more in the future! The hardest thing for me was finding the bias tape. It is the really narrow double-folded. Here on Oahu, we don't have a JoAnn Fabrics, or other large fabric store. I found a bit in one local fabric store and some other in a certain nation-wide chain store that features a small fabric/craft area (as well as greeters...) I don't like that store very much and so you know I must have been desperate! We stopped by the one near Waikiki on Friday night after the weekly fireworks, so it was near 9 pm. Wow! I couldn't believe all the strange people that were in there! Yikes! I'm sort of glad my husband was with me. I found enough of colors that would work, though, so I cranked these out in very little time.
As I sewed all last week and this weekend, I was re-listening to all the Hunger Games books in preparation for the movie. We have tickets for Friday night!
Aloha,
JoAnne
Love your bottle aprons! A very nice Thank you gift.
ReplyDeleteThose are so cute, I thought they were labels on the bottles. I'll have to check out the tutorial.
