I'm still recovering from a computer crash, so I'm doing things in a different order this week. I've got a sewing pattern for you today and the new video tutorial will be here tomorrow. I hope. :-)
I designed this fabric carrot last year, but it's that time of year again and I loved this project so much that I decided to refresh the cover a bit and give it to all of you.
I was inspired by Chez Beeper Bebe's remake of the classic paratrooper dimestore toy (You haven't seen it? Well go check it out, for goodness's sake! It's fabulous!) and I decided to remake those carrot-shaped cellophane bags you find filled with candy at Easter. My version is made from fabric - thus hiding what kind of candy is inside. Is it M&Ms? Is it jellybeans? Oooh - the suspense! Plus it's reusable and feels so much nicer than the plastic bags. And - it's oh so easy.
What you get:
- full-sized pattern
- step-by step instructions with photos
- scraps of orange fabric
- scraps of green fabric
- sewing machine
- thread
- candy
Time you need:
- less than an hour
FREE!
Happy stitching!
This carrot is really cute Wendi. My 23 year old daughter just asked me today if she was getting an Easter Basket this year? I really think she would like to be about 7 years old again! Maybe I'll make a few for her and fill 'em with candy and a gift card for itunes?
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a great gift!
