The plan is to embellish the bonnets with a mixture of ric-rac and decorative stitches then to do a machine blanket stitch around all the edges. More to come on these little ladies.

Current Project
Ok, because Brandie in her genius is inspiring and to prove that I am not without a current sewing project I introduce you to Sunbonnet Sue.
Once again I am getting pictures with horrid lights. That's one of my issues with this time of year (I have a few issues with it), by the time I get home and get sewing done it's dark. The colors aren't nearly this dark in real life.
Here's my planned layout at the moment. I will admit that I borrowed this whole idea from a lady at work who made a darling version. Can I just offer up a halleluja and praise be for the Go! Cutter? If I had to cut out each girl with scissors...I wouldn't.
I've used about 50/50 scraps and new fabrics. They all have fusible, some with Heat n' Bond and some with Steam a Seam 2. Personal experience tells me that the latter is far superior for this application and although it's significantly more expensive it is well worth it.

I'm glad I could inspire, just not sure how I did it.

I am sewimg a bit, only because I have to, otherwise I'm too busy.
My daughter is moving back in, Hurray! But it's a lot of work.
I'm going to try to blog tomorrow. All those stars are being finish and then given away so I can show them.
