3M: Mollie Makes Strawberries

 3M: Mollie Makes Strawberries

 (issue two)

 Is the first Mollie Makes project for my new feature 3M:

You know the one…

Made by You

 Mmmmm…strawberries.

Strawberries?

A little off your beaten track isn’t it?

 It is.

I usually prefer to make things I can use

around the house.

or hang…

that too. 

But my 2012 goal is to try out new things,

as you said

“To get off my beaten track”

 But Strawberries?

Ahh but they aren’t just strawberries, they are  

pincushions too.

Well, they are if you follow Mollie Makes directions.

But I already have tonnes of those,

so I have tweaked things to suit me.

(as usual)

Let me guess;

you are using them as hanging ornaments?

Erm…yes.

(Mental note: try to be less predictable in 2012)

I love the fabric you have used.

I do too, the 1930’s feel vibe is gorgeous.

The fabric designer is  Mary Engelbreit (for Moda)

‘ Recipe for friendship’

in case you were wondering.

Did you make the strawberry tops,

or are they store bought.

The roses are store bought. They are left-overs from

SEW Hip! Ruffled Baby Booties,

remember those?

I do.

They were made out of the same fabric as

the background in above photo.

Correct!

and the ribbon is recycled

from the stash of presents we got at Christmas.

Thank you Charlotte!

I hope you enjoyed

Mollie Makes Strawberries

as much as I have.
