Fabric Bottle for Mother's Day
I almost forgot to post this fun fabric bottle/vase project I made for my mom as a Mother's Day gift. I used the directions provided by Lucie Summer in the book "Modern Sewing Projects".
Underneath the patchwork fabric bottle is an actual small glass jar with water for the flowers. My mom has a love/hate relationship with crows, so the little blackbird applique was design element I added just for her.
The book isn't very long, only 16 projects, but they are all interesting, contemporary takes on traditional everyday items such as place mats, quilts, and slipcovers.
I especially love the fact that I actually made something from one of the many, many craft/sewing/project books that sit on my book shelf.
