No pattern...just a round cut out with ruffles....
I used my method of making the circle here except I did not use paper, I just used the back of the fabric and chalk.
When I am done swirling, I will cut the opening in the middle and down the side and bind.
I had to make a trip to JoAnn's (yes....rough trip) today to get fabric for the ruffle.
Unfortunately, I did not get enough.
As I was contemplating my dilemma ......my oldest son walked in the room. Can you see the wheels turning in my head!
Poor guy!
It didn't hurt to ask because he went!!!!
and even gifted me some fabric!
This gal was swirling!!!! I will make a mental note...send oldest son to JoAnn's more often!
If you are looking for the Beam N Read giveaway it is here!
Looks like a fun project! I haven't done ruffles in ages!!! That blue snowflake fabric gives me ideas......
ReplyDeleteThe tree topper turned so cute. How cute is that fabric with the gifts on it! I think that is fantastic that your son will go to Joann's for you and bring home extra fabric. He did good picking out the fabrics.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Oh, I would hate to have to cut that pretty snowflake in the center :) What a good son you have--mine when he was little in the stroller used to cry when I pushed him through those aisles of bolts tall above him--not sure he would volunteer now to go to a fabric store but he's 6'4" and much taller than those bolts now :)
ReplyDeleteLove the swirls!
