Sis Boom to the Rescue
Now that the springy weather is warming up we're spending more time on our outdoor deck, enjoying the view. I cant help but notice that cream wooden beam really could use a lick of paint. Ugh , sooo drab!
I don't mind painting but I would rather be sewing!!
So that's what I did!!
It couldn't have been simpler. All I used was a couple of packets of bias binding and a selection of my favourite Sis Boom fabrics.

I used pinky shears to trim the edges, some easy straight line sewing and in an hour I was done!! It was such a fun, super quick sewing fix!!
It's beautiful seeing the sun shine through the fabrics, making them glow. The breeze makes them dance a merry jig. I've decided to call them Happy Flags , because they make me happy.
Now I find myself looking more at the bunting than the view. :)

ReplyDeleteRachael!!! This is so, so cute! Ahhhh....I don't have a deck, but I want one just to do this :)
ReplyDeleteRachael, what a fabulous idea....and it looks wonderful! I have a screened in porch, and this would be perfect for it! It's been needing something for so long, but I hadn't figured it out......THANKS!
ReplyDeleteOh Rachael! I wish I lived next door to you! As my husband wouldn't let me have such a pretty garland hanging from my verandah, at least I could revel in yours!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea!! You got a sewing fix and it looks so cute.
ReplyDeleteOh Rachael that is just so cool...I love it too...I'd be looking at it all the time too if I were you!!! Looks much better than a paint job!!! I forgot to say if you get to Floriade one time perhaps we could catch up...have a coffee...and a macaron, or 2 or 3...........Have a wonderful sunshiney day...Dzintra xo

ooooh, love it! I really want to have some Christmas bunting (we're hosting at our place this year) but I really cannot be bothered spending a ton of time on it. Now this would be perfect!! I used to love my mum's pinking shears when I was little and this would be the perfect excuse to get some of my own! Or should I get the pinking rotary blade? Now there's a dilemma!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the bunting!! I'm having a little giddy moment thinking about some Happy Flags for my front verandah! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for leaving me a comment. Your kind words encourage me to keep sharing my work and stories.
