Look Mom, I made a house!
This little project was so much fun. It took about 5 prototypes to get it right and in the end there was a bit too much handstitching to suit me, but it turned out just about as cute as I had hoped. Why the little doll? Well her name is Lemon Meringue and she’s for another craft I have planned.
The roof opens up to hold my napkin rings.
And the weight of a little keyring charm keeps the roof closed on one end. I’m loving this fabric with the natural linen. It’s called Bliss.
So why Schoolhouse? Because I’m going to be speaking in Houston during Schoolhouse this month. I’ve been putting together what I’m going to be talking about but if there is anything in particular YOU would like to hear, I’d love to hear your thoughts!
I’D like to hear about how I can get one of these for myself!
So super cute!
Thanks, Elena! If I could figure out a way to make them more easily, I would. There’s gotta be a way – I just need to think on it some more.
That is one adorable project! Although I did think your napkin rings were handcuffs for a brief second, lol.
Handcuffs! Hee hee.
Cute house! I’m working on my own design for something and my 1st prototype didn’t quite work out. Need to get moving on making the second one.
Yes, I like the process, but often wish that it would work out the first time. Not a big fan of getting bogged down with multiple prototypes, but coming out successful always feels so good. Hang in there!
oh Wow!
Cute house, great fabric, you are going to QM, you are doing SchoolHouse, oh Wow!
Best of luck with the whooole thing.
Cheers,
AJ
Thank you! I’m a bit nervous about schoolhouse, wishing I had at least gone before so I would know what to expect. I’m sure it will be fine. And when it’s over I’ll be glad I did it.
How sweet! What did you use to hold its shape? I’ve used plastic canvas on the wee dollhouses, wood on the big version, but now I’m considering a Nativity stable and I’m thinking about other options – as presumably it wouldn’t have to stand up to rough housing from my kids…
Pssst…stabilizer…I love the stuff.
My first market next week, too. I am opening a mod fabric/sewing lounge in cincinnati. what time are you doing your schoolhouse presentation?
