:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
can you now guess what I did last night?
all of a sudden, I decided to take my scissors, invible thread and sewing machine out to make Molly’s party garland.
mine is pretty small – around two hundred centimetres long – but was real quick to make. from the initial shape-cutting to the final hanging, only a couple of hours went by.
now two things:
1. I’m in love with chain piecing and invisible thread, although I need to practice.
2. since randomness is my favourite word, I blindly/freely cut out my shapes (triangles and rectangles, only) from a one-metre-long and thirty-centimetre-wide piece of cotton fabric, which I first folded in half (wrong side together).
if you want to see a gorgeous step-by-step, check out Molly’s site.
Really nice!
I love so much the white of your photos, your atmosphere is each time more recognizible.
thanks Nina. although my current flat is (very) far from being perfect, I love its white walls and its rough and beaten parquet flooring.
and quite funnily, those pictures made me look forward to the day when I’ll finally have a flat (for more than six months, that is). can’t wait to decorate and paint the walls!
Awwwww ! This is stunning. So fresh and cute ! And photos are very beautiful too
Leanne a dit:I really do like that garland, a lovely idea. I think it calls for a party every day! :)
oh thanks Leanne. and yep, it totally feels like a party every night, which is – at least in my book – terrific.
