Hello there and happy Sunday to all of you! Have you been enjoying your weekend? Today I had to get me housework done which wasn't so exciting but is nice to see a clean house. After all that I needed to get some more sewing done. A great friend of mine has a little girl who celebrated her 4th birthday today and when I asked what she would like as a gift I was told she loves cars, her birthday cake was a truck just like her dad's, so I was on a mission. I found a great idea from a handmade shop to make a car track roll, by just adjusting the pencil roll idea. Running out of time I was going to buy one but she didn't have any girly ones left so I made my own. So just to let you know this wasn't my initial idea but I have altered parts to suit how I like things, if the lady has a blog I will be sure to post and acknowledge her for her idea. One of the ideas I changed was rather than sewing the track markings, I decided to use fabric puff paint, helping to save on time. I used some cute Micheal Miller dog house fabric for the outer piece and the paw print fabric for the inside. Now that I finished making this for her I need to make a card with a truck on it so I will try and post that tomorrow. Talk to you soon, bye!

ReplyDeleteHow cool! I have heard about these mats at Handmade Heaven. Isn't it a great idea! Did the birthday girl like it?
ReplyDeletethat's fantastic, what a great idea! i looked at that and thought my little boy would LOVE that...but then realised he'd probably destroy it within the week :)
