| I love this book. No, I actually LOVE this book! I’ve made a ton of stuff from 2 of Lotta’s books, and love them everytime! My sister’s birthday was in late July and I had my eye on several projects I had in mind for her (probably for about the last year or so)…. When you’re creative, sometimes the inspiration comes to you way in advance, but most often it visits at the last minute : )! |
 |
| This was project #1 of her present from Lotta’s book above. Potholders to match my sister’s new beautifully redone kitchen. |
 |
| And the reversible, wrap-around apron. The apron is pictured above as well, on the cover of Lotta’s book. I’m going to have to make one for myself….well, someday. |
 |
| Oh, it’s going to look so cute hanging in her kitchen! And, she may wear it to cook in….maybe. |
 |
| And the last thing I made for Amy was a shirt by the above inspiration. I clipped this shirt out of a Target add about 2 years ago and have had it posted on my craft board ever since. My sister, Amy, was over one day, saw the picture, and fell in love with it. (Amy, sorry you had to wait about a whole year for me to make it for you at last) |
 |
| A little closer detail. |
 |
| I bought a plain scoop neck tee-shirt at Target. Then got out my “donated to me” packs of white twill tape from the 1970’s. Yes, really….the date was stamped on there : ). At least they’re getting used now! |
 |
| I used a tutorial from Sutton Grace (one of my favorite bloggers) to make my rose bunches from. To create a set of three, I just kept twirling that twill tape into different swirls of flower buds. |
 |
| I made two sets of three flower bunches, then hand sewed them onto the right side of the shirt. |
 |
| And here’s how it looked when completed. Not an exact replica/knock-off, but….. |
 |
| ……she liked it! Happy Birthday, Amy! |
