Busy Sewing
Country Mouse and I are busy getting ready for our first outdoor show. It's less than two weeks away! We did a practice set up a few weeks ago and I am really excited to do the real thing now.
We needed some sort of sign or banner and decided to make one with a pattern from Meringue Designs and I love how it turned out! It was so easy to follow Cynthia's instructions. You can buy the pattern for a Happy Birthday Banner and then use it over and over each year. Or if you don't sew, she sells banners made from the best fabrics in her shop. But trust us, it's a fun and easy project - perfect for a beginning sewer.
We'll try to take lots of pictures during the weekend of the show. Hopefully it will be a nice sunny day (no wind or rain please!) Just a reminder, it will be at the Itasca County Fairgrounds in Grand Rapids, MN on July 25-26. Let the countdown begin!
