I know that I have been on a "felt kick" lately. For those of you who aren't into that, I apologize, but that just happens to be how my brain is working right now. It seems like I always want to sew in the fall.
With that being said, I thought this would be a good time to show you projects you can make using the Big Shot and all the fabulous dies. I try my best to incorporate stamping into my projects whenever possible. Why do I use felt? It is one of the easiest "fabrics" to sew with. It doesn't fray or ravel, it really doesn't have a right or wrong side, and it's fairly inexpensive to work with. So here is another fun project just in time for Trick or Treat.
I used the pennant die and orange felt to create the bag and sewed the front and back sections together. I hand cut the other pieces and glued them to the front with Tombow Multi. Rather than stitch on the bow, I just attached it with a small safety pin so that it could be used again if need be. The tag is stamped with the "Eat, Drink, & Be Scary" stamp set.
Those of you who know me well know that I don't put a big emphasis on Halloween in our home. I don't like all that creepy crawly stuff and quite frankly, neither does my family. So we try to focus on the fun things that Trick or Treat has to offer. Some people get all worked up about Halloween, but that just isn't me. That's why you won't find an abundance of projects on my blog that focus on this particular holiday. For the most part I just skip over it and jump feet first into Thanksgiving and Christmas. The thing I love about this bag is that is can be used right up to Thanksgiving just by changing the tag.
