Hello! I am so happy today is my stop on the Paperie Blog Tour!!! It's been fun to see the projects that are being created with Amy Sinibaldi's first fabric line with Art Gallery Fabrics.
I am beyond honored to be a part of such a talented group and just a
little intimidated too! So many gorgeous projects on this blog tour. Amy
is so very special. I am just in awe of her really. She inspires me to
create. I think a lot of us could say that about her, right!?!
Everything she makes is detailed and in my opinion, flawless. I knew her
fabric line would be the same. It's soft and beautiful.
I had so many ideas for what to make for the blog tour. I thought I was settled on
a clamshell pouch / sewing kit for myself. Then, one weekend all of my
girls and I were watching Miss Potter. My oldest daughter mentioned how
much she liked the portfolio she ( Beatrix Potter) had to hold her
artwork. I instantly knew I had to make her one and with Paperie 1.)
because she mentioned over and over how much she loved this fabric line
2.) the girl likes to read. I mean A LOT. Books are her thing. So, of
course, Paperie was perfect. 3.) she loves drawing and painting. So I
thought her own portfolio would encourage her to do what she loves.
I ended up making the clamshell piece into a pencil case for her paint brushes. I used Kristyne's (Pretty by Hand) pattern.
I love the pattern. I hesitated to show the case because it's not perfect. It's a bit gathered up on the sides but I still love how it turned out. It actually reminds me of the sleeves of the dresses I used to make my daughter when she was little. It's funny that's the first thing I thought of when I turned the case right side out and saw the gathers.
The lighting has been so dim the last few days so no good shot of the pencil case. We'll just call these moody picture, okay?
Here is one last one of one of my favorite pictures my daughter has painted. From Tangled.
I am thrilled to be able to offer one of you a half-yard bundle of Paperie courtesy of Fat Quarter Shop!
Thank you so much Fat Quarter Shop!!!
Just leave a comment below and I'll pick a winner next week.
