Springy Stash Buster

Sewn or not.. pennants are a super simple and springy stash buster. Inspired by a lovely customer and fellow blogger, Erin, I first made this small one for our front window and then set out to make another for above the fireplace. They go together quickly and are just so cheerful that I really want to sew some more! I think it'd be fun to string them around Aelyn's bunk bed, above the kitchen sink or across the front porch...  I wonder how many I could complete before the baby comes??

Stash

The other evening my husband was glancing over my fabric stash (which by the way is nothing compared to some I've seen.. or at least that's what I tell myself...) with an "mmm hmm" sound and you know that sort of face, insinuating that perhaps I have too much.

Too much?!?!

NEVER!

Are you kidding me?

but... well, maybe some of it could stand to be sewn up...

And then a spark was lit.

A little scrap buster! Yes, that's what I'll do.

I'll make something using bits and pieces of what I've been storing away and then he'll certainly see why I need more!!!

HA!

So that photo up there is a glimpse of the project I've started.

And here's a glimpse of my camera loving cat. He feels the need to help out with all of my photo shoots and sewing projects.


I'll share the full project and how-to soon.

'Til then,
April
