In the days before school started back, I had an entire week to enjoy doing absolutely nothing. I read a lot of books, I tried some new recipes, and I even cleaned. But wouldn't you believe it---I still got bored. So, one day while I was perusing my favorite blogs, I came upon this. Pretty, right? Well, I decided to try it myself. I went directly to JoAnn's fabrics and came away spending about $60, because not only did I need fabric and hardware, I decided that a rotary cutter was necessary, too. Here is the final product:I am pretty satisfied with my results. Andrew actually thought I had bought it!
Some tips for anyone thinking to try it themselves:
- Make sure your fabric is facing the right direction (see upside-down fruit in picture)
- You will need more interfacing that you think... it isn't sold folded like regular fabric. Trust me. I argued with the lady at JoAnn's.
- Do not let your iron directly touch the interfacing fabric. Most crafters probably already knew that, but it's something I learned in the process. Thankfully, the hole I burned is in between to pieces of fabric, so no one need ever see it!
That's about it! Good luck!
