Best Of Craft Schooling Sunday: All Things Fabric

Welcome to The Best of Craft Schooling Sunday, All Things Fabric! Craft Schooling Sunday is taking a summer break as I spend time with family on an extended summer vacation, so I’ve prepared this best of post to keep the inspiration going. Summer is a great time to get those crafty gears turning, though admittedly actually finding time for creativity can be a challenge while in the middle of a family adventure, as is the case this year. Hmmm, spend time painting or go out and experience a new city? Not a question, new experiences always take the lead, and yes of course one can take a sketchbook and sit in the park for even half an hour and sketch, but that is not for those with teens in tow. Of course the teens would be perfectly happy staying put much of the time in the first place, and when we leave our city location later this week and move to the ocean maybe just maybe I’ll have time for a bit of painting. So dear readers, enjoy this roundup of projects from previous parties this year and looking forward to reconnecting the first Sunday in September.

Love this bunting quilt from flamingo toes.

Love this simple yet great looking rag garland from the scrap shoppe blog make a patriotic one, or make one in pastel colors for a rustic wedding. A fabric strips garland like this can be made from old sheets, fat quarters, thrifted clothing, or even from plastic tablecloths, so get creative and make some party decorations to have on hand from upcycled items!

Amazing tassels made from jean scraps from pillar box blue.

(making a return appearance here on the party) from busy being Jennifer.

A denim hanging mason jar vase from pillar box blue, is just fantastic.

Super simple fabric pumpkins are great from using up your stash, and are perfect right now, from celebrating everyday life.LOVE these chenille pumpkins and the use of a vintage utensil as the stem, from flamingo toes.
