Yesterday, Meredith, Kaitlyn and I spent the afternoon in my sewing room. Kaitlyn worked on
Ruffled Christmas Trees, I did the ruffling and she did all the hot gluing. We made several of them as the pictures show. We used ribbon, osanburg, fabric and also used some quilting cottons from a jelly roll. Those strips are precut 2-1/2" wide with a small pinking on each side. I cut them in half (1-1/4") and did the basting on the cut side.
Meredith was looking online for gift ideas and found all the zipper tutorials. She made headbands, brooches, rings and hairpins. I am wearing a brooch today. Here is some of her crafting.
It was lots of fun and we are planning our next crafting day.
Everything turned out great. Love it!!!
