Bee with Wreath and Rosette Pillows
I had the day off with my car in the shop so I used
this day to work on projects for my next craft fair.
You had to see my kitchen... sewing machine out, paint, tables, trunks, transfers, totes... you name it, I was working on it. It looked a little like Santa's workshop.
I thought I had more time but just realized that the craft fair I signed up for was taking place in 2 weeks...Yikes!
Today I'm using scrap pieces of grain sack fabric from repurposed napkins for the front of the pillows and striped ticking fabric on the back.
Using a product called Transfer Artist Paper I printed out a bee and wreath image from the Graphics Fair.
I added a cute little rusty bell to the center of the wreath.
Another pillow I made is the same as the bee/wreath
pillow but without the bee. On this pillow I added a rosette with a tiny pearl bead that matches the ticking fabric on the back of the pillow.
The rosettes are easy to make. With a long strip of the cotton ticking fabric, I twisted the strip then wrapped it into a rosette shape. I used a few stitches on the back to hold it in place.
These were easy to make and look amazing.
Update: They all sold out at the craft fair!
