We had a wonderful Father's Day Weekend. Somewhat relaxing, good weather, and good cooking!
I made the guy's in the family these M&M Bow-Ties which they all thought were great. Who doesn't love M&M's? Many thanks to Alison at Oopsey Daisy for posting this idea, and sharing the pdf of the cards. It was very helpful late Saturday evening, LOL!
For my hubby, I made some guitar polishing clothes by using soft duster cloths for a dollar at HEB (Texas grocery chain) and using some embroidery to personalize them. I used two clothes sewn together to create the final cloths to hide the back of the embroidery design, and to make the overall feel of the the cloths thicker.
If I made these over again, I would lay out the two clothes and trim them down to match. I didn't realize when I started how unevenly cute the fabric was. I should have trimmed them down to matching sizes before placing the embroidery designs. Each of these designs was an embroidery design that I customized for Randy. Here are the steps to make these:
1) Figure out embroidery design,
2) Stitch design on cloth,
3) Place two clothes with right sides together,
4) Stitch around the outside, leaving a gap to turn it right-side-out,
5) Turn right-side-out, and then stitch around the outside 1/8" from the edge.
6) And you are done!
I still have my "Spunky Diva" booth banner looming over my head... Maybe that will get finished next?
