This
week's video is a bit shorter than normal because it is just too hot
here to sit under the filming lights for very long. My craftroom is
around 90 today already.
So
the project this week is a nightgown that can be displayed draped
over a piece of furniture or in a shop. I love pieces like this
because they set the stage in our mini scenes to make it appear that
someone was just in the room and/or will be right back in the room.
It just adds life to the mini scene.
This
one is really simple because all you need is a piece of wide trim-
either lace or eyelet from the fabric store. Look for a piece that is
about 2 ½” to 3” wide. You want a piece that is flat as opposed
to gathered. Try also to find a small design. I really like the one I
found, it is just so pretty and looks like it would be very
comfortable. (can you tell it has been too hot to sleep here)
If
you don't want to use glue on your project feel free to sew it. I
just feel that for this project the glue was a lot easier and faster.
Glue the back seam, then glue on the shoulder straps and a top trim.
The
shoulder straps are cut 1 ½” long and try to glue them on spaced
evenly. I tried to get mine about halfway between the center and side
on both the front and the back.
Then
glue on the top trim to cover the top edge and hide the ends of the
straps.
Now
wasn't that easy? Just the perfect project for a really hot day.
Be
sure to send me photos of your projects. And if you have ideas for
future projects let me know!
I like it, I might give this a try for my beachhouse :)
