seasonal snow is here! Or maybe not so much. It was 60 degrees this past weekend where I am; it’s doubtful we’ll get snow any time soon. So as usual, I have to make my own. I remember as a girl, I was fascinated by the snow machines they had in Gatlinburg, TN, to “make” a ski slope in case it hadn’t snowed enough. I always wondered, “How do you make snow?”
Well, now I know! I make it with white bias tape or appliques. Easy enough, and it doesn’t make your hands cold. I’ve put all my snow designs on sale this month. First you need “Snowfall.” All required are two sizes of bias tape and some great “sky” fabric to really make this wall hanging pop:
Made in a similar way is this huge “hot” pad:
Maybe you’d enjoy decorating a skirt? I know, I know, no one seems to be wearing skirts these days (but this denim one is cute with boots and includes instructions for ANY size and length–use elastic if you don’t want a tie). However, these darling appliques (full-size templates) could also go on a sweatshirt. Get them while they’re half-price!
Speaking of sweatshirts, this is a cutie and honestly, can be made in any size:
Don’t worry–it doesn’t have to look like Santa! Same pattern below:
Again, you can modify a sweatshirt of ANY size, but teens especially love the leopard (and I do, too…which reminds me that I need to look for a black sweatshirt for myself.) Fleece is on sale right now, so it’s a great time to make this. In fact, you could start your Christmas sewing for the family….if like me, you’ve vowed to start earlier this year.
Happy New Year, or at least moderately more happy than last year, right?
